Can variation in the sperm count ( from 30 mn to 15 mn within 3 months) or vitamin deficiency make pregnancy difficult?
Patient: hello sir,I am Ramesh, 32 years. married since 2 years, trying for pregnancy since 8 months, before that I used condoms.3 months back I have done, semen analysis, the volume is 1.5ml and count is 30million.last week again , I have done semen analysis, the volume is 1.5ml and count is 15million.is the variation in the count normal or any lack of vitamins problem.please clarify and suggest me.thanks and regardsramesh Doctor: Hello,,I had gone through your history and understand your concern.Over 15 million sperm per milliliter is considered as normal.For couples trying to conceive we recommends to have sex regularly, even when its not your fertile time of the month. Only because it takes time for sperm to both mature and to accumulate. Sperm numbers are not everything. Sperm must be able to swim in a sustained and a forward manner.Regarding your query about the use of Vitamins. Vitamin C in high concentration protects sperm from oxidative damage and increases sperm volume and motility.Antioxidant nature of vitamin C prevents the damage of the sperm.If you want to increase your sperm count you can doAvoid hot-tubs and even tight underwearRegular exercise Healthy DietKeeping calmGarlicBananasVitamins rich in antioxidants.Hope your doubts are cleared.Thank you.
