Hello y’all 🙂 I hope you had a great day. I had a very good one…busy, tiring but very good. But hey, I can’t go to bed yet until I serve up a health tip, right? 😀

Unfortunately, despite pulling, tugging and literally dragging all my strings, I still couldn’t get through to any official at the Ministry of Health in Port Harcourt to fill in the missing gaps in the #strangedeaths there. I will continue from where I left off tomorrow.
But hey, if you work for the Ministry of Health in Rivers State, please reach out and give us some contacts. The Permanent Secretary for the Ministry or the Director of Public Health will do just fine. Failing that, anyone in the ministry 🙂

And now, for the question of the day….

Q: Please Doc, my husband has low sperm count according to his last semen analysis , please how can he increase the count?

A: Thanks for writing in. Low sperm count can be caused by several factors: lifestyle factors, medical or environmental issues.
Lifestyle factors like smoking, drinking alcohol, being overweight and even stress can lead to low sperm count.

Medical issues like cancer and Sexually Transmitted Infections have been implicated in low sperm count too.

People who are over-exposed to X-rays or overheat their scrotum in hot baths or sauna may also be at risk of this.

Where the self-help tips do not help, other treatment modalities like surgery, medications etc may also be used by your husband’s doctor depending on what he finds as cause of the problem.

Have a good night, y’all 😀
