3. Moderate exercise
Moderate physical exercise can help improve male fertility. Exercise can increase blood circulation, enhance physical fitness, and stimulate the testicle to secrete more sperm. However, pay attention to your ability. Excessive exercise may affect the endocrine balance of the body, but it is not conducive to fertility.
2、 Medication

Vitamin C, E, B vitamins and folic acid have protective effects on male reproductive system. Reasonable supplementation of these vitamins can improve sperm quality, reduce sperm DNA damage, and improve fertility.
2. Taking traditional Chinese medicine

3. Antioxidants
Antioxidants can help eliminate free radicals in the body and protect sperm from oxidative damage. Common antioxidants include vitamin E, glutathione, etc. However, before taking antioxidants, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor to avoid discomfort.
3、 Assisted reproductive technology
1. Artificial insemination
If the number of sperm is small or the activity is insufficient, artificial insemination can be used. This technique improves the chance of pregnancy by delivering sperm directly to the cervix or uterus.
2. In vitro fertilization (IVF)
In vitro fertilization is a commonly used assisted reproductive technology. This technology combines mature eggs and sperm to culture, and after the fertilized eggs develop to a certain stage, they are implanted into women's uterus to improve the chance of pregnancy.
3. Minimally invasive surgery
If men have reproductive system problems such as vas deferens obstruction and seminal vesicle cyst, minimally invasive surgery can be used to dredge or remove the lesion, which will help improve fertility.
4、 Psychological counseling
The problem of male infertility at an advanced age may bring psychological burden and pressure. Regular communication with professional psychological consultants, psychological counseling and constructive discussion can reduce psychological pressure and improve the success rate of childbirth.
To sum up, the problem of male infertility at an advanced age can be solved through nutrition conditioning, drug treatment, assisted reproductive technology and psychological counseling. However, the specific choice of the scheme depends on the individual situation, and it is recommended to conduct a comprehensive examination and consultation in a professional hospital. Seeking appropriate solutions as soon as possible will help to improve the success rate of male elderly childbearing.
