👋 Introduction

When a couple struggles to conceive, the focus often falls on the woman. But did you know that in nearly 40% of infertility cases, the issue lies with the male partner — or both?

If you or your partner have been told you have low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology, don’t panic. There’s good news: many forms of male infertility can be improved naturally — without jumping straight to IVF or ICSI.

🧪 What Is Male Infertility, Really?

Male infertility typically means:

  • Low sperm count (oligospermia)

  • Zero sperm (azoospermia)

  • Poor motility (asthenozoospermia)

  • Abnormal shapes (teratozoospermia)

These factors affect the sperm’s ability to reach and fertilize an egg.

A simple semen analysis can reveal most of these issues — and it’s painless and affordable.

🌱 Can It Be Treated Naturally?

Yes — in many cases. Here’s how:

✅ 1. Lifestyle Modifications

  • Stop smoking, drinking, and recreational drug use

  • Maintain a healthy weight and reduce abdominal fat

  • Avoid saunas, tight underwear, and prolonged laptop heat

  • Sleep well: 7–8 hours a night is essential

Even small improvements in your daily habits can make a measurable difference in sperm quality over 2–3 months (spermatogenesis cycle).

✅ 2. Supplements That Work

The following nutrients are commonly recommended to support male fertility:

  • Zinc – Supports sperm production

  • Vitamin C & E – Protect sperm from oxidative damage

  • Folic Acid + B12 – DNA repair and quality

  • Coenzyme Q10 – Improves motility

  • L-Carnitine – Enhances sperm energy

💡 At ISHA Clinic, we personalize supplement plans based on your semen report and blood levels.

✅ 3. Stress & Hormones

Mental stress, high cortisol, and testosterone imbalances can reduce sperm count.

Solutions:

  • Moderate daily exercise (walking, yoga, resistance training)

  • Reduce screen time and work stress

  • Get tested for testosterone, prolactin, LH, FSH (if semen is abnormal)

✅ 4. When to Try Treatment

If lifestyle changes alone don’t help after 3–4 months, we may recommend:

  • Sperm washing + IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)

  • Hormonal support if testosterone is low

  • Further evaluation for varicocele or obstruction if sperm is absent

At ISHA Clinic, we do all this gently, affordably, and with your dignity intact.
