Question 1

how would i know if i have a high or low semen quality ? 
how can i have a higher quality?

Accepted Answer

Semen analysis: High or low quality for what purpose? Fertility? If so, semen analysis aka sperm count is best way to check quality. Check out http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/getting-pregnant/in-depth/fertility/art-20047584 for info regarding how to improve sperm health. Ask your partner to take extra Folate (folic acid), commonly found in prenatal vitamins, once you decide to try to conceive.

Question 2

is it neccessary for the semen to be whitish to have the quality of fertilization?

Accepted Answer

Fertilization: No, the white liquid you see in the semen is the nutrition that comes with it, the actual sperm is clear and fertilization is not dependent on the color but the quality of sperm.

Question 3

Question 4

Accepted Answer

HEALTH: Your overall health is paramount. Healthy sperm also has to do with genetics though...

Question 6

can detralex cause poor semen quality if trying to conceive?

Accepted Answer

Here are some ...: Detralex contains hesperidin &amp; diosmin used as supplement to strengthen venous wall tonicity in alternative medicine, which could not be found in mainstream pharmacy; so I assumed it may help improve varicocele which has been suspected to affect sperm quality leading to impair male fertility. However, specific study for Detralex is scanty to zero. I deeply doubt if it may help varicocele at all.

Question 7

if i have bilateral varicocele , and semen parameters are good. count: 700mil conc: 200 mil motility: 70% morphology: 80%. can the varicocele worsen the semen quality by time? should i seek varicocele treatment?

Accepted Answer

: Bilat. varicocele is rare. If you have a normal semenanalysis you do not need ant treatment

Question 8

does a semen analysis with 70% immotile sperm and zero fast progressive sperm mean that a man is infertile? can the sperm quality be improved?

Accepted Answer

Here are some...: The parameters of your semen analysis for male infertility strongly suggests a very low likelihood to fertilize a timely waiting egg. How to improve it? You should bring this Q to your doctor assessing your infertility since s/he is the one who knows more about your individual specific situations than anyone online. Besides, female factors are known to contribute to some 45-55% of all infertility.

Question 9

i was diagnosed with bilateral varicocele i tested my semen analysis 1 year ago and it was good. sperm conc: 200 mill morphology: 80% motility: 70% can the varicocele worsen my sperm quality by time as iam trying for a baby now ?

Accepted Answer
