Husband has issues

in Trouble TTC
Found out yesterday that my husband has low sperm count and poor sperm quality. He has 52% defective sperm. He's only making 20 million sperm when he should be making 80 million (I think those numbers are right). But we only need one out of 20 million so that doesn't seem to hard right? Well, anyway, I was wondering if any of you ladies have had this issue with your SO? Was it an easy fix, like he needs to take certain vitamins? Or did you have to go through more testing to find out there is nothing to do? Thanks for your help!

    We have some MFI issues. He should go see a urologist and get checked out.  We don't have sperm count issues, but he was put on fertility blend supplements and CoQ10.

    My husband has 84% defective sperm. The motility was only 30% and when they looked up closer at them he had 0% normal. Each one had something wrong with it. Was this his first sample? I hear sometimes the first time will be low because they're so embar

    My husband has low numbers across the board according to the RE. He had seen a urologist first. He has a known varicocele but very small. 

    You should definitely have Uro exam but watch out for scalpel happy surgeons. Our RE (and myself) don'

    I'm sorry you got bad MFI news.  But the information you gave is a bit different then what the American Medical Association.

    so sorry- agree with pp... he needs to see a URologist that deals with male fertility ( not all do!)  He will figure out why the low count , do a retest, suggest treatments etc...
