If you are having difficulty conceiving and your partner has low sperm count, there are natural ways to boost fertility, such as diet changes, herbal medicines and exercise.
A 2017 study found that eating foods high in vitamin C and antioxidants improves semen quality by increasing both sperm counts and motility.
1. Ashwagandha
Ashwagandha contains both aphrodisiac and adaptogenic properties, helping you manage stress - the number one contributor to low libido. Furthermore, ashwagandha strengthens muscles and increases testosterone levels for male fertility - all three being essential components for male reproductive success.
Studies on men with low sperm counts demonstrated that taking 675 mg of full-spectrum ashwagandha root extract for 90 days resulted in significant increases in both count and motility, as well as 53% more semen volume production.
Ashwagandha is an excellent natural source of selenium, an essential mineral necessary for creating healthy sperm cells and producing quality sperm samples. A deficiency has been linked to poor quality sperm production; Ashwagandha contains antioxidant properties which protect against oxidative stress which may destroy sperm leading to infertility.
2. Fenugreek
Fenugreek is an herb known to increase male sperm count. Additionally, this plant boasts numerous antioxidants like lecithin, nucleoalbumin, phosphates, soluble fibre and vitamins including A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 & C as well as isoleucine which reduce pain during painful menstrual cycles (dysmenorrhea) while simultaneously increasing interest in sexual relations.
Methionine Sulfoxide found in Fenugreek seeds has been proven to increase both sperm count and semen volume when taken over a 12-week period, as well as increasing testosterone and libido in men. This herb can be taken alone or added into foods; just avoid foods containing xenoestrogens as these can decrease your shadi course.
3. Licorice
Licorice root contains bioactive compounds like glycyrrhizin acid that have various medicinal uses, including acting as an artificial sweetener or flavor enhancer in beverages, dairy products, tobacco products and tobacco cigarettes. According to a 2019 study involving Licorice extract usage it can also improve both sperm quality and overall semen quality.
Reduce oxidative stress in the testis and increase testosterone levels to help increase sperm count. Furthermore, it has antioxidant properties which may prevent any damage to sperm cells.
Licorice extracts at 100 and 150 mg/kg were shown to significantly attenuate testicular toxicity caused by biphenyl A in SD rats, significantly reversing changes to total proteins, albumins, globulins, oxidative stress markers in serum samples from testis samples as well as increasing expression levels for 3b-HSD and 17b-HSD enzymes found therein.
4. Aloe vera
Aloe vera is a versatile plant used for numerous health conditions, but most notably sexual health. Aloe's long history in helping boost libido and fertility may make this herb invaluable.
Aloe vera leaves contain central parenchyma tissue containing an exudate made up of 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinones such as aloin and emodin as well as vitamins, fatty acids, amino acids, minerals, sugars and small organic compounds that produce an unpleasant bitter taste when digested.
Researchers found that aloe vera reduced oxidative damage to testicular cells and improved sperm quality among asthenozoospermia patients, increasing concentration, motility, agglutination and morphology while improving viability and the Homologous Segregation test results. Aloe vera can also help enhance blood circulation which could improve sexual performance as well as libido.
5. Vitamin D
Deficits in vitamin D and calcium can have a detrimental effect on sperm count. A 2017 study concluded that taking Furosap, made from fenugreek seeds, improved both semen health and count. Fenugreek seeds contain powerful antioxidants known to protect sperm cells against damage caused by free radicals.
Other natural treatments for low sperm counts may include Tongkat Ali, an Ayurvedic herb used to treat sexual dysfunction and indigestion. According to one small study conducted on Tongkat Ali (Eurycoma longifolia), its consumption helped improve sperm count, motility and Majun Raig Mahi.
Antioxidant supplements containing vitamins C, E and K may help boost sperm count. Add foods high in Vitamin C like berries and dark leafy greens into your diet for maximum results; additionally consuming more foods containing Selenium will be especially helpful given that low levels can negatively impact sperm health.
