How can my husband increase his sperm count?

(2 votes)

My husband and I are trying to have a baby. He has a very low sperm count and only one testicle, but the sperm are active and healthy. I am 41, (ten years older than my husband) although I am still ovulating and not menopausal yet. We are under going iui treatments. We eat very healthy meals with plenty of fresh vege and fruit... My husband is taking zinc supplements and I am taking iron as I am grossly anemic, also I'm taking folic acid. I am wondering if there is anything you can suggest that would increase the sperm count?

Hi there,

It is great that your husband is taking zinc as this is an important supplement for his needs. In addition, studies have shown that some herbs such as Tribulus will raise sperm counts. The bad news for your husband is that he should not drink coffee or anything with caffeine in it as this will effect his sperm quality.

Both of you should drink plenty of water, and eat lots of fresh fruit & vegetables, so it seems like you are on the right track with the other things you are doing.

Good Luck
