Hello and Welcome to Morefertile!

Treatments for low sperm count (oligospermia) need to match the cause of the condition, and raising personal health with Personal Fertility Profiles (PFPs) is often the most effective option. There are herbal supplements that raise testosterone and improve sperm production, and when these match the man’s PFP, it increases male fertility over 10x more than making lifestyle changes! i

Low sperm counts are often due to low testosterone levels and are an indicator of several important general health issues (and PFPs). Men will only find out they have oligospermia if they have semen samples tested, but they’re at significantly higher risk of the following life-changing conditions: ii

  • Metabolic syndrome
  • Osteoporosis or osteopenia
  • High BMI (body mass index) and waist circumference
  • High systolic blood pressure (and risk of cardiac events or stroke)
  • Elevated LDL “bad” and low HDL “good” cholesterol (and risk of cardiac events or stroke)
  • Insulin resistance (HOMA index) (and risk of diabetes)

Herbs are effective in treating low sperm counts and can regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis that controls testicular function, especially the Sertoli and Leydig cells that make testosterone and sperm.  iii
