Hi!
Your husband has nil sperm count termed as azoospermia.It is possible for a patient to have decreased sperm countt earlier( oligospermia) and now have nil sperm count.I would suggest a complete work up of your husband by a urologist who after a thorough examination of the genitals and a complete hormonal anaysis would be able to reach to a conclusion of the type of azoospermia.If sperm are present in the epidydimis ,extraction can be done and patient can concieve by IVF-also called test tube pregnancy.
Also ,antioxidants help to prevent damage to sperm,these are present in fresh fruits and vegetables.Foods containing vitamin A,C and E are potent antioxidants.
Lycopene( present in tomatoes) also are helpful
