What should I do if I have low semen at the age of 60?

The reduction in semen volume in a 60-year-old man can be improved by adjusting lifestyle, supplementing nutrition, drug treatment, traditional Chinese medicine conditioning and medical examination. Reduced semen may be related to factors such as aging, declining hormone levels, and reproductive system diseases.

Avoid sitting for long periods of time and overexertion, engage in appropriate aerobic exercise such as walking or swimming, and maintain exercise 3-5 times a week. Maintain a regular schedule to ensure adequate sleep and reduce late nights and stress. Stop smoking and limit drinking, and avoid high-temperature environments such as soaking in hot springs for a long time or wearing tight pants. These habits may affect the testicular spermatogenesis.

Tamsulosin hydrochloride extended-release capsules can be used for reduced semen caused by prostate disease. It is strictly prohibited to take hormonal drugs by yourself.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that kidney essence deficiency may lead to a decrease in semen, which can be treated with a combination of wolfberry, dodder, epimedium and other medicinal materials. Moxibustion on Guanyuan, Shenshu and other acupoints, or professional acupuncture treatment. It needs to be carried out under the guidance of a regular Chinese medicine practitioner to avoid abuse of kidney-tonifying and yang-enhancing medicinal materials.

5. Medical examination

It is recommended to go to the urology department or andrology department for routine semen, six sex hormones, prostate ultrasound and other examinations.
