Before you try fertility treatments for male factor infertility, have the man in your life try some of these simple, common sense approaches to increasing sperm quality and quantity from Dr. Mike Boucher:
From the article:
Eating healthy and nutritious food - frequent consumption of over processed food (mostly found in fast food restaurants) contributes to the decrease of sperm count. In order to boost sperm count, make sure you eat foods that are rich in Vitamins and also make sure you eat lots of natural food as much as possible. Avoid foods that are acidic in nature, bitter and spicy.
Great sperm count boosting foods include: celery (uncooked), bananas, oysters, avocado pears, almonds etc.
Go easy on the caffeine - caffeinated drinks are known to decrease sperm count over a long period of time.
Drink plenty of water - drinking lots of water helps to increase sperm count and it also keeps you healthy as well. Drinking water is also one of the cheapest ways of increasing sperm count.
Quit habits such as smoking and drinking - smoking has no positive effects on the human system and alcohol intake (even if it is just two glasses) can affect the quality of sperm. Your best bet is to desist from these un-wholesome habits.
Avoid anything that will stress you emotionally - everyone goes through an emotional period which affects the production of quality sperm. Try as much as possible to keep your mind clear of emotional baggage and your entire body will benefit from this too. Feelings of depression and emotional stress are known to affect the production of quality sperm. You can take up yoga, which is very good stress relieving exercise.
