My husband and I are trying to conceive for almost a year now without any success. After 6 months of trying we went for tests. My blood tests showed high prolactin levels and my husband s sperm analysis showed low sperm count and low motility. I repeated my blood tests after a month of taking pirodal as a treatment to lower my prolactin and the results showed that my prolactin levels have indeed decreased, but my doctor advised me to continue the treatment. My husband is taking Vitamin E and a herbal medicine called Speman (for the last 2 months) but has not repeated his sperm analysis since then. I have two questions that I would be grateful if you could help me with
Hello, To answer your questions, first let me say that high prolactin levels indeed cause some problem in conception. But treatment for a few weeks usually corrects it. You may stop your treatment if your prolactin levels are normal but will need to maintain them by regular monitoring. As for your husband, he has a problem too and should continue the meds for at least 3-6 myths before repeating the semen analysis. If both problems are solved then there should be no reason why you cannot conceive naturally provided there are no other anatomical problems. But sometimes in low sperm count etc. often assisted reproductive methods are required, but that won't be suggested to you until necessary.
