What to do if my sperm count is low?

Improving sperm count involves lifestyle adjustments, targeted medical treatments, surgical corrections, and assisted reproductive technologies. Optimizing thermal regulation, maintaining a healthy BMI, avoiding smoking or alcohol, and engaging in moderate exercise support natural sperm production. When clinical intervention is required, medical approaches include hormonal therapy, clearing reproductive tract infections, and antioxidant-rich nutritional support to reduce cellular damage. Structural issues like swollen veins are resolved via varicocele repair or direct sperm retrieval. Finally, if counts remain low, Assisted Reproductive Technology—such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization with Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (IVF-ICSI)—offers highly effective paths to successful fertilization.
