Uterus related complications, such as Endometriosis, fibroids, Pelvic inflammatory disease, abnormal morphology, Irregular cycles, complications related to Fallopian tube, etc form some of the major factors troubling women of the modern era.

Sperm Count

Low sperm count can be reduced number of sperms, or reduced number of healthy sperms or abnormal shape of sperms or total absence of sperms in the semen required for fertilisation. Experts suggest that there are treatments to get the Sperm count to within acceptable range. Alongside treatment there are certain habits that could assist improving Sperm Count in men such as dietary changes, moderate physical activity, stop smoking & alcohol, wearing appropriate clothes (not too tight in the groin).
