Hi, hope this helps.
To actually find out if your husband has a low sperm count he needs to go to his GP - they need to send a sperm sample to the labs...
We have 4 children, but my husband had a varicocil. enlargement of his testicals, so they were to hot. He had to have a operation for his condition so we have had a great deal of experience in this field.
Things to help sperm count in men are: 1. not wearing thight underwear - let it loose. The body heat affects sperm, that s why their organs are on the outside of their bodies.
- He has to take cool showers for the same reason.
- It is also said that men uses an enourmous amout of minirals in the sperm making process. A good reputable multivit/mineral can be very beneficial to both of you. We use Lamberts
It is good to remember that the sperm he has now has been made 3 months prior. Excessive excersize can also affect sperm.
I have recently read - in my search for alleviating my me/cfs - about amino acids, and how they can also help sperm to be more active:
Arginine, or L-arginine, is an amino acid that is needed to keep the keep the liver, skin, joints, and muscles healthy. Arginine helps strengthen the body?s immune system, regulates hormones and blood sugar, and promotes male fertility. In addition, research has shown that this amino acid may improve circulation and treat impotence and heart disease.
Arginine is considered a semi-essential amino acid because, although the body manufactures its own supply, there are times when dietary supplementation may be required, such as in the case of severe wounds or illness.
Arginine stimulates the immune system by increasing the output of T lymphocytes (T- cells) from the thymus gland. Recent studies have focused on the potential of arginine as a treatment for AIDS, cancer, and other diseases linked to a depressed immune system.
Arginine is involved in a variety of hormonal processes in the body. It stimulates the pancreas to release insulin, is used to make the pituitary hormone vasopressin, and regulates the production of growth hormone. In fact, the FDA has approved the use of intravenous arginine to evaluate those with suspected growth hormone deficiency. Some researchers theorize that delayed sexual maturity may be the result of arginine deficiency. It is also thought that arginine may help treat sterility in men?seminal fluid of healthy men normally contains large amounts of arginine. Boosting arginine levels may help boost the activity of sperm as well.
You may wish to investigate the amino acids - i found it facinating and the use of them has helped me
