Most men ponder over ‘how to improve sperm quality’.

The one big hurdle men face with such treatments is time.

Most treatments aimed at increasing sperm quality require lots & lots of time.

However, with fertility treatments, time is our biggest enemy.

Late marriage, broken marriages & remarriages all seem to account for the increased social pressure faced by couples.

Moreover, fertility treatments are definitely getting expensive year on year.

A single IVF cycle can cost upwards of 3.5 lakh.

Consequently, its important to stress that simple treatments to improve sperm count and sperm motility is need of the hour.

A simple thing to bear in mind is that, sperm quality depends on its DNA.

The sperm DNA is compacted into the sperm’s head.

    How to increase sperm quality?

    Here are 5 simple things you can do right now. 

    Tip 1: Walk

    Keep walking. Target at least 10,000 steps in a single day.

    When you hit 10,000 steps per day, eventually your testosterone increases.

    Give at least 8 weeks of consistent effort to see an increase in sperm quality.

    Tip 2: Frequent Sex

    Frequent sexual intercourse for improving sperm quality works like magic. Why?

    Firstly, with frequent sex, newly produced sperm are not stored for long.

    They are frequently deposited in female vagina.

    Furthermore, frequent sex simply improves the chances of the sperm meeting the egg.

    Since pregnancy rates improve when you have sex 3 times/week continuously versus 1 or 2 times/week

    Secondly, stored sperm end up getting their DNA damaged.

    Once again since sperm quality is dependent on DNA quality, its best to engage in frequent sex. Simple and fun right?

    Tip 3: Drink Juices

    How to improve sperm quality with diet? Take juices. Simple and sweet too.

    Some juices that help improve sperm quality include, juices like

    1. Orange Juice
    2. Lime & Lemon Juice
    3. Pomegranate Juice
    4. Lastly Apple +Carrot + Beetroot Juice

    Tip 4: Letrozole

    In men facing abnormal semen parameters and associated hormonal deficits, we have frequently found that Letrozole works.

    However, a thorough evaluation of a man’s hormones is a must before starting treatment.

    Remember to visit an andrologist or sexologist near you for a proper evaluation!

    Letrozole when given in the right dose improves semen parameters.

    However, proper blood tests are necessary before a prescription can be made

    Tip 5: Lyon Bean Extract

    Another medication we recommend to patients is the velvet bean extract. It helps tremendously.

    Recommended dose is about 500 mg/day.

    Numerous scientific studies and publications have suggested a possible benefit of taking this molecule.

    Since its ayurvedic, its long term use is safe and devoid of side effects.

    Lyon bean extract improves sperm DNA, sperm motility, morphology by increasing FSH, LH & Testosterone.
