For circulatory impotence: increase niacin (eggs, peanut butter, avocado, fish) and vitamin E (raw wheat germ, vegetable oil).

Causes include sperm disorder (35%), decreased ovarian reserve or ovulatory dysfunction (20%), tubal dysfunction and pelvic lesions (30%), abnormal cervical mucus (5%), and unidentified causes (10%). As men age, sperm density and testosterone levels decrease while estradiol and estrone levels increase — herbs must regulate the endocrine system, balance hormones, and promote blood circulation. There is no drug treatment for male infertility — those with sperm disorders are usually treated with artificial insemination, with no pharmaceutical options to increase sperm quantity or quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTCM differentiation:\u003c\/b\u003e Tonifying Kidney yin boosts sperm count.
