Dear Ask The Doctor: I have low sperm count. what pills or best way to increase my sperm? somebody told me carnitine and arginine can help increase my sperm. is it true and can i take it at the same time?
Dear Jingky: Unfortunately, there is no concensus within the medical community about which substances or medications will increase one's sperm count. There is ongoing research on a number of different substances including carnitine, zinc, vitamin E, Clomiphene citrate, tamoxifen among many others. Some inderlying causes of a low sperm count are correctable such as a varicocele, hydrocele or an infection. When these issues are corrected the sperm count usually increases satisfactorily. In cases where there is no identifiable cause of the low sperm count, other methods on conception are advised such as in-vitro fertilization. |
