How to Improve Sperm Quality Before Undergoing IVF？

The quality, quantity, and motility of sperm are directly related to a woman's ability to conceive. Only sperm with normal forward motility can reach the fallopian tube to combine with an egg and form a fertilized embryo. Clinical data shows that low sperm motility accounts for about 30% of male infertility cases, making it a common cause of infertility. Therefore, many husbands take measures to improve sperm health before starting an IVF cycle. Here, experts from RSMC Fertility Center in the United States share tips on how to enhance sperm motility:

1. Take Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) Regularly  

In addition to women taking CoQ10 to increase ovulation, accelerate egg maturation, and regulate ovarian function, men preparing for pregnancy can also take CoQ10 to improve sperm quality and motility. CoQ10 is a supplement, and older men are advised to take 600 mg per day to appropriately replenish nutrients. If there are underlying health concerns or doubts about the dosage, it is recommended to consult a doctor. It’s best to start taking CoQ10 three months before beginning the IVF treatment.

2. Maintain a Healthy Diet  

Incorporate foods that enhance sperm quality and motility into your daily diet, such as fish, beef, peanuts, soybeans, sea cucumbers, shrimp, chives, and oysters. These foods are rich in high-quality protein, arginine, and zinc, which are beneficial for enhancing nutrition and promoting male fertility and spermatogenesis. It’s also important to avoid a diet high in red meat and low in vegetables; instead, replace red meat with white meat as much as possible. Foods like soybeans, olive oil, spinach, broccoli, chicken, walnuts, and cashews are also rich in CoQ10. A deficiency in vitamin C and zinc can affect sperm activity, and vitamin E is related to sperm production and reproductive capacity. Therefore, it’s crucial to have a balanced diet that meets the body's daily nutritional needs to ensure sperm health.

3. Quit Smoking and Drinking, and Maintain Regular Exercise  

Maintain a healthy lifestyle by quitting smoking and alcohol, keeping a regular routine, ensuring adequate sleep every day, engaging in moderate exercise, avoiding staying up late, and keeping a relaxed mind. When you are well-prepared, the results you are hoping for will follow. Trust yourself and trust our expertise. RSMC Fertility Center wishes you success in your journey to parenthood!
