Please suggest some medicines to improve my sperm quality.

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

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I recently went through sperm analysis and noticed issues with my sperm motility and morphology. My sperm viability is 54 % (normal 58 %), motility score is 61 out of 150, normal oval heads is 2 % (normal 4 %), higher number of not moving sperm is noticed with (grade 0 = 59 %), in-place sperm score is 23 %, slow-moving sperm 32 %, rapid in straight line is 6 % and high-speed sperm moving in straight line is 0 %. Kindly advise how I can get my sperm quality into normal state and improve my sperm quality. Please suggest if there is any medication available that I can start using it or helpful ways to improve my sperm quality. I do not smoke at all, and I am social drinker (like a beer once in a month or two to three months).

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your report. As you see, the count is normal. Motility and vitality are low. The main morphological problem is amorphous sperms. This would mean a good number of sperm are being produced, by the testis, but on the way to the penis, which takes about two to three months, the sperms are being damaged. You need to evaluate for,

1. Are you diabetic?

2. Any other medical disorders?

3. Any exposure to compounds like petroleum products, cigarette smoke, paint, pesticides, etc.?

4. Any history of renal stones. This could be a source of infections.

5. You will need a month course of Doxycycline for 15 days, later Levofloxacin.

Repeat semen analysis after a month. I think you will have great results. I hope I have clarified your query, do write back if any more questions and for your feedback.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your answer.

Please guide me further.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Nice to hear from you; how are you doing?

Capsule Doxycycline 100 mg, one capsule once after breakfast and once again after dinner for 15 days.

After you finish the medication for 15 days, start tablet Levofloxacin 500 mg once daily at night after dinner for 15 days. Do not have any sexual contact during this period. Even if you do, use a condom to avoid her getting an infection. She, too, can have the same capsule Doxycycline for five days. Repeat your semen analysis after 1.5 months.

I hope I have clarified your query & do give your feedback & any further questions.

All the best.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your quick response.

I am doing good. Hope you are doing well, too.

I will start taking Doxycycline and Levofloxacin, as you recommended.

I have a couple of questions for you that I need your clarification.

1. Could you please take a look at my STD panel test and let me know if everything is fine/OK or if you see any issues?

2. My family doctor recommended I take Lyco-Q 100 Clomifene Citrate and Ubidecarenone (CCQ25) for three months. Should I start them after Doxycycline and Levofloxacin are completed?

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I am doing good, Thank you.

I could not find the STD panel in your message. However, these infections I mentioned are not seen on the STD panel. These are usually commensals of our body; they already exist in our body but in a limited number. Sometimes, a small trigger may flare up the infection.

About Lyco Q, it's just a mixture of antioxidants. CCQ is a hormone that will increase your FSH hormone levels, thereby increasing sperm count. You can have it now and continue even after the antibiotics course.

Hope I have clarified your query.

Do revert back you have any more queries

All the best.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your response.

Please take a look at my STD panel test (report attached) and let me know if everything is fine/OK or if you see any issues.

So, are you recommending that Lyco-Q 100 and CCQ be used together with Doxycycline and Levofloxaccin?

Please suggest instructions on how to use Lyco-Q 100 and CCQ.

Thank you.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Your STD panel is normal. Nothing to be done about it. You can get Lyco Q and CCQ along with the antibiotics. They will add to the health of sperm production. The result can be expected after 1.5 months. During this month, it is better to avoid sex, use a condom, or masturbate. Better to discard frequently so that the old semen is gradually replaced by fresh young semen.

Hope I have clarified your query. Do write back if you have any more queries.

All the best.

Thank you.

Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

Thank you for your answer.

How are you?

I have now completed the first 15 days of medication of Doxycycline and am ready for Levofloxacin 500 mg. My family doctor did not recommend taking CCQ and Lyco-Q 100 while I was taking Doxycycline and Levofloxacin, so I did not take them. Please help me explain if it is OK to use CCQ and Lyco-Q 100 or not. If not, what effects might it have?

Regarding Levofloxacin 500 mg, I have seen some online research papers stating Levofloxacin has serious side effects like mood swings, insomnia, and dizziness, and also impacts sperm parameters due to its antibiotics involved. I am a bit scared now as to what effects I might have to face while using it. I have never taken antibiotic medication. Can I take a gap of 15 days now and try for pregnancy (ovulation time for my wife) and then start taking Levofloxacin again?

I need your valuable suggestions in this situation.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

Hope you are doing well.

Among the two antibiotics, if you go through the net, you will have lots of side effects with Doxycycline, but did you really have any problems other than mild gastritis?

Levofloxacin is a very good urinary tract and genital infection antibiotic. One of the most silent antibiotics. I have never seen any significant side effects with use in the last ten years of practice.

CCQ and the antioxidant can be taken now with Levofloxacin or immediately after that. As I have mentioned, they only improve the final quality of sperm after the antibiotics have cleared the infection. Trust me, you will have no problems.

Hope I have clarified your query. Do write back if you have any more queries.

All the best.

Thank you.
