Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have done a semen analysis and was diagnosed with asthenoteratozoospermia (low progressive motility). Is there anything to be worried about it? Other results look fine, but I am not a doctor to conclude it. I am attaching my report as well for you to review. Kindly help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. I have checked your report (attachment removed to protect the patient's identity). I can conclude from the reports that you have low progressive motility and zero normal sperm. All of the sperms are defective. The most common reason behind this can be an infection. I would suggest medications and an ultrasound of the scrotum and abdomen to know the prostate and testicle status. Also, get a urine profile done to check for infection. For now, I suggest you start tablet Uribid (Nitrofurantoin) 100 mg twice daily after food for five days. Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with them and take medicines with their consent. Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thank you for the response. Can you please suggest to me any other tests? Also, can I get the prescription for the medications you suggested? Will the medication improve the motility and morphology of my sperms? Kindly help.

Answered by Dr. Raveendran S R

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am suggesting some common nonspecific ways of treatment. Eat healthy and high-colored fruits and vegetables, eggs, dark chocolate, and walnuts. Environment and work cause an increase in temperature of the scrotum. For example, long drive, use of laptop on lap. Avoid doing that. Avoid wearing a tight dress. Quit alcohol and smoking. Have a good sleep. Do regular exercise. Avoid packed or frozen food. Thank you.

Treatment plan

Take Tablet Uribid (Nitrofurantoin) 100 mg twice daily after food for five days and Tablet Carniq Q [Levo-carnitine (500mg), Coenzyme Q10 (50mg), Zinc (5mg), Lycopene (2500mcg), and Astaxanthin (8mg)] twice daily for 30 days.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
