Can a low sperm count be improved?

Yes, in many cases, a low sperm count can improve with the right care and lifestyle changes. Maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, limiting alcohol, avoiding smoking or vaping, staying well hydrated, and reducing heat exposure to the testicles (for example, by not using hot tubs and saunas, or wearing tight underwear) can all help optimise sperm production.

If an underlying condition or hormonal imbalance is contributing to the problem, your consultant may recommend medication or targeted treatment. After your semen analysis, your Welbeck specialist will create a personalised plan to support your fertility and help you take practical steps towards improving sperm quality.
