I'm really concerned because I found out my sperm mortality rate is zero, even though my sperm count seems to be okay. On top of that, my testosterone levels are pretty low. Could you suggest any medicines, supplements, or natural ways to boost the sperm mortality?

To increase sperm motility naturally and with supplements, you can consider taking supplements like Coenzyme Q10, L-carnitine, and vitamin E. These supplements have been shown to improve sperm motility. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in antioxidants such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds can also help improve sperm motility. In terms of medications, you can consider using brands like Clomid or hCG injections, which can help boost testosterone levels and improve sperm motility. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement or medication regimen.
