Infertility is a growing issue among many couples these days. And the inability to conceive a child due to a low sperm count is one of the major reasons. Here’s all you need to know about increasing your sperm quantity.

What are the causes?

Health and lifestyle issues: A major cause of low sperm count is health. Lifestyle choices like drug abuse, alcohol abuse, obesity, and over-exertion are among the prime causes. Other habits such as smoking can also lead to a lower sperm number. Depression and emotional stress too might interfere with the functioning of hormones needed to produce sperm.
Medical Causes: Low sperm count can be caused by a number of medical issues such as Varicocele (swelling of the veins on the scrotum), Cancerous and non-malignant tumours, hormonal imbalances, prior surgeries or infections.
Environmental Causes: Besides these, a low sperm count can also be caused by reasons such as exposure to various metals and industrial chemicals and overheating of testicles due to high temperatures.

Natural Remedies

Exercise

Blow off steam by exercising and participating in activities that interest you. Sitting for long periods being at a desk job can also lead to a slew of lifestyle issues, which includes low sperm count. Invest in a gym membership or go for a run regularly to give your body the necessary workout.

Avoid smoking and alcohol abuse

Go easy on the alcohol (you don't have to give it up entirely). And stop smoking completely. Tobacco use of any kind is said to have a direct link with low sperm count. Needless to say, illegal drug use must be avoided to increase sperm numbers. In case you are having problems quitting these habits, you can talk to your doctor who can recommend programmes to treat addictions of various kinds.

Get enough vitamins

Vitamins like D, C & E have a significant impact on sperm health. A regular intake of vitamin C & D supplements (which are readily available) can help increase your sperm count.

Check your work environment

A major cause of low sperm number is stress caused by emotional and environmental factors. Be aware of the air around you at work since environmental toxins have often been pegged as sperm killers. Besides these, you must also keep your mental and emotional health in check. Excessive work stress can cause a low sperm count. Relax and take regular breaks and holidays to detox your mind and keep it healthy.

Keep your body temperature cool

Wearing loose, cool underwear helps you keep your sperm at an optimum temperature. Boxers or cotton briefs allow lots of airflow to the scrotum that can help create the perfect environment for healthy sperm.

In conclusion

Following these tips, making a few lifestyle changes can help you tackle this condition. If you are a couple trying to conceive via IVF (In-vitro fertilization), an increased sperm count will also affect the chances of reproduction. Consult with your doctor regularly while following these tips to have a healthy sperm count and to keep your health in check. You can consult with a top Fertility Specialist on the mfine app.
