What type of treatment should I get to become a father?

This Premium Q&A, reviewed and published, features a real conversation between an iCliniq user and a physician.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

The semen analysis reports are as follows:

Volume 3 mL, abnormal forms 0℅, motility - rapidly progressive-20℅, sluggishly progressive-20℅, non-progressive-10℅ and immotile-50℅, pus cells-10 to 12 per hpf vitality-50℅. I have a sperm count of less than 10 million per mL. What are the chances of mine able to conceive a child?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Since your sperm count is low and immotile sperm count is high, there is a 40 % to 50% chance. But there is a treatment for the same. Please consult your specialist doctor.

Revert in case of further queries.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thanks for your reply. What type of treatment should I get? Should I take any medication or any improvement in food habits? How to improve the chances of me being a father?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I suggest folic acid and iron supplements. Also, I suggest tablet Co Q (Coenzyme Q10) once daily for three months. Take plenty of fluids, vegetables, fruits, less oily and spicy food. Wear cotton inner and loose lowers. Consult the andrologist and take his guidance for the above treatment. Do get back to me with the reports if the andrologist has advised. Try for pregnancy during the fertile period of your wife. All the best and take care.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

What kind of specific report is to be done by an andrologist? Some say that my chance of naturally being a father is negligible, and I have to go for IVF or ICSI, or IMSI. Is that true?

Answered by Dr. Neha Rathod

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

The andrologist should be the right person to guide you for further tests. Would you please consult an andrologist first? IVF (in vitro fertilization) or other options are there as a last resort. Let us first try the basic treatment. Take care.
