Trying to have baby but sperm analysis shows dead sperm. How can it be rectified?
Patient: Hi, I'm 33 years old and married to a 30 year old woman. We have been trying to conceive for the past 4 years without any success. She has 2 kids from a past relationship. I once impregnated a girl in the past but sadly lost the child at birth. I recently went for sperm analysis and was told that my sperm was dead and only 3 percent was alive. We are desperate to conceive and are not getting any younger. How can we improve this? What remedies can you recommend? Doctor: Hello and welcome to HCM,Presence of only 3 % alive sperms is insufficient for conception.However, since you have mentioned that you were able to impregnate a woman in past, a repeat semen analysis is required.Get the repeat semen analysis after atleast 3 days of abstinence.Sometimes presence of factors like infection of the genito-urinary tract will lead to false results.Post the results of your semen analysis for further opinion.Thanks and take careDr Shailja P Wahal
