Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Firstly, we have to diagnose the cause of your problem. The most common cause of this is a condition called varicocele. For the detection of varicocele, I suggest you do the following:

  1. An ultrasound of the scrotum.
  2. Get tested for diabetes.
  3. Avoid wearing tight undergarments.
  4. Avoid taking very hot water baths.
  5. Avoid riding a bike or cycle for long durations.
  6. Try tablet Paternia (Coenzyme Q10, L-Carnitine, Lycopene, and Zinc Sulfate), twice daily for two months and repeat semen analysis after 2 months.

I hope this helps you.
