Q: I am a software engineer, married for the past 7 months and still childless. A sperm test revealed that the concentration of my sperms is 22 million/cc and the motility is 25%. I am taking Heyeforte and Ovipro tablets for the past one month. How much time will it take to get completely cured? What is the food/diet practices I should follow?

A:We don't call infertility before one year of unprotected intercourse. The best thing is to have patience. 22 million counts are considered normal. Motility is not bad. Get your wife's preliminary tests and wait for another 4-5 months.
