2. Any abnormality in the functioning of glands related to sperm production, pituitary and hypothalamus may lead to low sperm count.
3. Abnormal ducts that carry sperms and disorder of the penis

MEDICAL CAUSES LIKE:

1. Swelling in the veins of testicles

Causes of low sperm count

Causes of low sperm count

Low sperm count, reduced sperm motility and malformed sperms are main causes for male infertility. There are various biological and environmental factors which affect sperm count, motility andmorphology. Many of these factors have been mentioned in ayurvedic texts. The causes of low sperm count are briefly explained below.

Age :
Innumerable researches have been conducted to determine the effect of ageing process on male fertility. A decrease in male fertility has been noted as age progresses. Maintenance of good health by following healthy lifestyle and diet retards ageing process. The rate of fertilization starts falling down for men who are above 40.

Hence “ Vajikarana Therapy” is recommended in ayurveda for men who are above 20 and below 70 to maintain optimum sexual activity and number of healthy sperms. Vajikarana Therapy recommends herbal preparations which are aphrodisiac in nature. Vajikarana therapy increases sperm count, sperm motility and quantity of semen. This therapy is helpful in erectile dysfunction.

Overheating of testicles:

Overheating of testicles due to high fever, hot water bath, saunas, tight pants or under garments can cause low sperm count. The Testes (two egg-shaped structures) remain in the Scrotum, outside the body, where the temperature is about 3 degrees C, cooler than the body internal temperature (27 degrees C. Sperm development in the Testes Requires the Lower Temperature.). Hence any factor which increases the temperature of testicles causes low sperm count.

According to Sushrutacharya Testicles are made of Kapha and Medha (fat). Increased heat imbalances kapha and medha , thus affecting sperm production.

Addictions

Cocaine and Marijuana reduce sperm motility and sperm count by as much as 50%. Smoking reduces sperm count, sperm motility and also causes genetic changes. Smoking causes low sex drive, erectiledysfunction or impotence. Alcohol can damage sperms. Hence alcohol intake should be reduced to increase fertility.

Diet and Life Styles:

Stress at work place or in family, strained relationship, lubricants or spermicides used in condoms and physical stress can temporarily cause low sperm count. Malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies cause low sperm count. Deficiency of Vitamin C, Zinc, selenium etc can reduce sperm count. Bicycling can cause low sperm count, as testicles and scrotum may get injured during riding. Some studies have revealed that obesity may be a cause for low sperm count.

Genetic factors :

Malformed organs or tissues in male reproductive system.
Obstruction of semen carrying tubes.
Persons with 1 extra X chromosome (Normal chromosome in man is 1 X and 1 Y chromosome)

Environmental factors :

Overexposure to toxins, chemicals and infections. Pesticides, hydrocarbons and mumps in adult hood can cause low sperm count. Chronic exposure to heavy metals like lead, arsenic or cadmium can cause low sperm count. Radiations and X-rays affect sperm producing cells.

Varicocele :

Vericose vein in the cord of the testicle can cause low sperm count.

Acharya Charaka in his ayurvedic text, mentions the following factors as causes for low quality of semen.

How To Increase Sperm Count Safely and Naturally

Male infertility is as rampant as female infertility. Even though you may keep hearing that women don’t eat well and therefore are unable to conceive normally, the fact is that male fertility plays a great role in the child bearing problems of the modern times too. Today, with the kind of lifestyle we have, sperm count in men could keep falling without their knowledge. Fortunately, there are many ways to prevent this decrease in sperm count or increase a low sperm count. But before you can try any of those tips, it is important to understand the various infertility and sperm count issues. Separating the myths from the facts can actually help you make an educated and informed decision.

IMPROVE YOUR SPERM COUNTS, MOTILITY AND FERTILITY NATURALLY WITHIN JUST TWO MONTHS.
YOU CAN’T AFFORD TO MISS THIS CHANCE.
CLICK HERE TO KNOW MORE.

Infertility Myths

Here are some of the most commonly circulating infertility myths:

• If a woman is not able to conceive a child, it is her fault and the infertility is to be blamed on her: Male infertility is almost as rampant as female infertility. Though women are often blamed for not being able to conceive, the fact is that it could well be a fertility issue with the male partner.
• Sperm count is the only thing that affects male fertility. A high sperm count should mean that the man can successfully impregnate a woman: While sperm count is an important indicator of fertility, there are other aspects of the semen and sperm which are also important. Motility, for instance, is also an important indicator of fertility.
• Male infertility cannot be treated: Unless there is a physiological problem, which prevents the production of sperms or causes the formation of anomalous sperms, sperm count can be successfully increased through several simple measures.

Is Your Sperm Count Just a Number Game?

Male fertility is almost as complex as female fertility. It is a common misbelief that sperm health is only dependent on its number. However, the anatomy of the sperm is also an important determinant of its health and its ability to fertilize a female egg. The sperm count is nothing but a concentration of sperm per ml of semen. The normal sperm count ranges from 20 million sperm per ml – in a semen volume of at least 2 ml. Since semen does contain such large number of sperms, you may well imagine the numbers it would require to healthily impregnate a female.

Sometimes, a man with a health sperm count may still not be able to impregnate his partner. This is because every sperm has to make a long and tedious journey to a woman’s cervix, and through there it has to reach into the fallopian tubes where a female egg is waiting to be fertilized. Typically, in each ovulation, one egg is released. So almost 50% of the sperms are rendered ineffective because they would wind up in the wrong fallopian tube. Some sperms would die before reaching the fallopian tube and if the sperm motility (their ability to travel through the female body) is low, they will never be able to reach the egg in time and fertilization would never occur.

Additionally, the sperm is able to survive for a limited amount of time. So if the sperm and the egg do not meet in a given period, fertilization may not occur. Therefore, it is not only the sperm count but many other things that may cause male infertility.

What Does Low Sperm Count Mean?

Low sperm count is often considered synonymous with male infertility. However, this is not true. Just because a man’s sperm count is low, it does not mean that he is not fertile. Simply put, a low sperm count could mean any of the following:

• There are less chances of conceiving without medical intervention
• It may take the couple longer to conceive a baby
• Intercourse may have to be timed according to ovulation prediction
• Dietary, lifestyle and health changes may be required to conceive normally.

How to Increase Sperm Count?

All men can achieve a higher sperm count and improve their fertility health. There are simple ways to do that. Here’s what you can do:

• To improve sperms and increase sperm motility, you should first concentrate on maintaining good health. For that, try to refrain from any kind of drug use. Quit drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco or consume them only in moderation.
• Eat a healthy diet which is high in protein and low in fats. Consume as much of organic food as possible because this kind of food is low in chemicals and fertilizers.
• Exercise regularly and de-stress yourself. Yoga and medication are both very effective for improving overall health and sperm count.
• Regulate the frequency of sex and ensure that you increase your frequency around the time of ovulation. Sperm count is also usually the highest in the mornings, so increase the frequency of coitus from morning to afternoons.
• Heat can further lower your sperm count and deteriorate their health. So try and avoid wearing tight underwear and lingering in hot baths for long. Also avoid using the laptop by placing it on your lap.
• Consider using sperm count improving supplements.

Dietary Supplements for Sperm Count

Herbal supplements can be beneficial for those who have low sperm counts. Apart from making these simple diet and lifestyle changes, consuming these supplements regularly can also help improve overall sperm health. These supplements do not contain any chemicals and are completely natural. Apart from that, they also improve overall viscosity of semen and sperm health. These supplements are specifically designed to increase sperm count as well as other key parameters like motility.

These herbal formulations usually contain antioxidants, proteins and other important naturally occurring minerals which can promote sperm concentration and motility. The Sperm Count Increase package designed by Ayurvedic Experts is one such package which can successfully help those who are afflicted with low sperm counts, sub-optimal motility and other sperm and semen parameters. They also help with difficult conditions such as azoospermia where the man has no measurable quantities of sperm in the semen.

This package should be used for 3 months. Consuming this regularly can help increase all of the sperm’s health indicators naturally. They remove damaging free radicals from the body, improve overall metabolic processes and synthesis of proteins. Additionally, the carefully chosen natural ingredients of this package can also improve overall physical as well as sperm health. Since all these ingredients are completely natural, you are treated without any side effects in a completely healthy and natural manner.

MALE INFERTILITY

MALE INFERTILITY

Posted on August 25, 2012 by Dr. Shweta Labde

Infertility in general can be classified as :

1) Male Infertility

2) Female Infertility.

1) Male Infertility :

The following points need to considered while studying Male Infertility :

• Volume of semen.
•  Sperm count – oligospermia, azoospermia, necrospermia.
• Motility of sperm.
• Structural defects of sperms – Due to vitiated vata dosha.
• Any obstruction in genital tract.
• Erectile dysfunction.

 Causes of Male Infertility :

Ayurveda explains following causes for male infertility :

• Ativyavayat – Over indulgence in sexual activity.
• Vyayamat – Over exertion, it may include any kind of physical exertion or strenuous mental efforts.
• Avyayamat – Over relaxation, laziness or spending very leisure life.
• Asatmyanam cha sevanat – Eating over spicy, salted, sour, frozen foods, foods with low nutrition and lack of hygiene; also behavioural habits like sleeping very late at night, hectic lifestyle leads to disparity of Rakta and Pitta Dosha, ultimately causing Shukra kshaya i.e. deficit in Shukra Dhatu qualitatively and quantitatively.
• Akale – It means at inappropriate time; i.e. before desirable age specifically before age of 16 in females and 18 in that of males, or beyond the age of 65-70 where the body faces generalised debility. Another aspect explains having intercourse very frequently and many times (5-6 times) in a day also leads to debility of Shukra dhatu.
• Ayonau – Indulging into sex in other than natural ways, i.e. Masturbation, oral or anal sex etc.
• Maithunam Na Cha Gachataha – Suppression of sexual urge.
• Narinam Arasaudnyata – Having intercourse with undesirable partner.

The other essential causes are fear, stress, sorrow, tight clothing, working in hot environment for long duration. Smoking and alcohol consumption significantly affect virility in males.

Trauma to the genital organs, generalised debility, muscle weakness and stress can result in erectile dysfunction.

Suppression of sexual urge, infection in reproductive tract, or any kind of stricture can cause an obstructive pathology.

Treating Male Infertility :

Overcoming male infertility requires some basic modulation in lifestyle and food habits.

The treatment includes Shodhan chikitsa i.e. cleansing therapy depending upon dominancy of derranged doshas. Vaman in Kapha dushti, Virechan in Pitta dushti and Basti in case of Vata dushti.

Panchakarma therapies like Abhyanga (whole body massage), Shirodhara, Nasya endows great deal of physical and mental relaxation.

Regular exercise and yoga promotes added assistance. One should practice pelvic floor exercises, padmasan, mool bandha to strengthen and optimize the functionality of the desired organs.

Treating obstructions or infections if any, with medicines like Gokshur, Guduchi, Triphala, etc. Also Uttar Basti treatment  serves beneficial in cases of obstructive pathologies, it as well strengthens the muscles of urinary tract and reproductive system.

Rejuvenation and Aphrodisiac treatment plays an important role;Rejuvenation therapy revitalizes the body and reinforces it internally and externally thus enhances body endurance and also assists in creating healthier sperms. Medicines like Chyawanprash, Musali paak, Rasayan vati, Kandarpa paak, Kushmand avleha, etc serves the purpose. A combination of milk + ghee + honey + cold water in specific proportion depending upon one’s body constitution along with other medicines like yastimadhu, shatavari, amla, etc. serves as a good rasayan.

Aphrodisiac Therapies are of 3 types :

1. Sperm generating or enhancing sperm count.
2. Those which helps in ejaculation of seminal fluid.
3. Medicines which serve both the above purpose.

Medicines like Shatavari, Nagbala, Bala, Musali, Ashwagandha, Milk, Ghee, Haritaki, Amla, Yastimadhu, Pippali, Shatavari kalpa plays an essential role in improving count of efficient sperms.

Kapikacchu, Vidari, Gokshur, Shatavari, Ashwagandha, Bruhati phala, medicinal preparations like Vrushya vati, Shilajatu, Vanari kalpa cures problems related to Semen ejaculation.

Gokshur, Ashwagandha, Musali, Kapikacchu, Pippali, Milk, Ghee, Fruits and fruit juices; and the most important aspect – pleasant relaxed state of mind is the key ingredient to treat infertility. Vrushya vati  not only increases sperm count qualitatively and quantitatively, but also improves vigor, it also takes care of problems like impotency, loss of libido.

All the above mentioned medicines can be used in powder form, or for superior results they should be used in the form of medicated milk or ghee, Because oleation and revitalization of cells is an integral part of the treatment.

Necessary Diet Modifications :

• Fresh, organic fruits, fruit juices and vegetables.
•  Almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, black currants, dates, figs, apricots, and raisins.
• Milk , milk-date shake, milk-mango shake can also be cherished.
• Dairy products like cream, lassi, butter; especially intake of Milk and Ghee should be increased. They can be taken plainly, or in medicated form.
• Non-vegetarians can include preparations of eggs, meat (Goat meat), rooster. Soups increases appetite and also provides desired nutrition.
• Rice pudding or vermicelle pudding, sweet preparation of suji in ghee is also beneficial.
• Spices such as ajwain powder, cumin, turmeric cleanses the genitourinary tract.
• Include coconut and coconut milk in your diet.

A big “NO” to Smoking and Alcohol consumption is must.

You should always attend the natural urges.

There are still many medicines depending upon an individual body constitution, all the above recommended medicines should be taken under consultation of Ayurvedic physician.

Oligospermia refers to semen with a low concentration of sperm and is a common finding in male infertility. Often semen with a decreased sperm concentration may also show significant abnormalities in sperm morphology and motility.

Oligospermia is defined as less number of sperm in the ejaculate of the male. Among infertile couples, 40% are primarily due to the infertility of the male partner, while in 20% of these cases it is a combination of both male and female factors associated which lead to infertility. Out of several causes of male infertility, in clinical practice Oligospermia is considered one of the most prevalent causes.

Since Oligospermia tends to have no effect on sexual function, men may not know they have this unless they are having trouble conceiving with a partner.

The diagnosis of Oligospermia is based on one low count in a semen analysis performed at on two occasions. For many decades, sperm concentration of less than 20 million sperm/ml were considered low or Oligospermic, recently, however, the WHO reassessed sperm criteria and established a lower reference point, less than 15 million sperm/ml, consistent with the 5th percentile for fertile men. Sperm concentrations fluctuate and Oligospermia may be temporary or permanent.

Oligospermia is one of the main causes of male infertility or sub-fertility. Sub-fertility is a reduced ability to achieve a pregnancy while infertility is defined as the complete inability to produce a pregnancy after about one year of unprotected sexual activity.

Semen deficiencies are often labeled as follows:

• Oligospermia or Oligozoospermia – decreased number of spermatozoa in semen
• Aspermia – complete lack of semen
• Hypospermia – reduced seminal volume
• Azoospermia – absence of sperm cells in semen
• Teratospermia – increase in sperm with abnormal morphology
• Asthenozoospermia – reduced sperm motility

There are various combinations of these as well, e.g. Teratoasthenozoospermia, which is reduced sperm morphology and motility. Although low sperm counts are often associated with decreased sperm motility and increased abnormal morphology and thus represent “Oligoasthenoteratozoospermia”.

Oligospermia can be the result of many factors, some are permanent and some are reversible. Causes of Oligospermia include an obstruction of the normal flow of sperm due to such conditions as testicular trauma and vasectomy. Oligospermia may also result from scarring due to surgery on the male reproductive system or from infection and sexually transmitted diseases.

A decrease in sperm production is another cause of Oligospermia. This can be due to such conditions as varicoceles (Varicoceles are found in 15% to 20% of all men and in 25% to 40% of infertile men), hormonal disorders, diseases of the testicles, and obesity. Other causes of Oligospermia include stress, smoking, drug or alcohol use, some medications, exposure to some toxins or chemicals or radiation, congenital testicular abnormalities, age (fertilization rates decrease among men over 40 years of age), malnutrition, overheating (hot tubs, fever etc.), tight briefs, being underweight and general health and wellness issues. Even frequent biking can impact sperm production. Some sexually transmitted disease, such as Chlamydia, and Gonorrhea can also result in Oligospermia.

Ayurveda management

Ayurveda, the science of life, prevention and longevity, is the oldest and most holistic and comprehensive medical system available. It uses the inherent principles of nature to help maintain health in a person by keeping the individual’s body, mind, and spirit in perfect equilibrium with nature.

As per Ayurveda, Oligospermia can be correlated with ‘Shukra kshaya”. Even though none of the standard Ayurvedic texts have mentioned about the count of Sperm or Motility of sperm but clearly mentions the quality of semen in the form of ‘Shuddha shukra Lakshana’.

In Ayurveda, healthy semen which is more fertile is described as

“shukram shuklam guru snigdham madhuram bahalam bahu|
ghritamaakshikatailabham sadgarbhaya ||”

This means the semen which is white, heavy, sticky, sweet in taste, more in quantity and which may look like the color of ghee or honey or oil is always fertile.

At CHARAKA, we provide a very effective, holistic and wide range of treatment modalities for curing Oligospermia. Hundreds of formulations, herbs and recipes, variety of Panchakarma and rejuvenation therapies are advocated to achieve the above said qualities of semen.

Ayurveda has advocated a separate branch which deals with the management of defective semen and spermatogenesis along with sexual potencification, is called as Vajikarana tantra (Aphrodisiac medicine). Vajikarana Therapy is recommended in Ayurveda for men who are above 16 and below 70 to maintain optimum sexual activity and healthy semen.

The treatment of Oligospermia comprises of administration of rasayanas and vajikara dravyas or medicines (virilificatory or aphrodisiacs) internally, Panchakarma & Vajikarana therapies for detoxification and rejuvenation along with diet and lifestyle modifications, will not only help in better conception but also in producing healthy offspring.

10 Things You Need To Know Before You Test Your Sperm Count

Last weekend Boots the chemist began selling the SpermCheck Male Fertility Test (29.99). It's a home testing kit which allows men to test whether they have the a low or normal sperm count. The kit is as accurate as a lab test at identifying low or normal sperm count and it gives you clear results in the privacy of your own home in just 10 minutes. Before you try it, there's a few things you need to know...

1. The minimum sperm count required to get your partner pregnant is 20 million+ sperm per milliliter.

2. It takes 10 to 11 weeks for sperm to be produced, so making lifestyle changes now and testing your sperm in three months time will optimize your result.

3. Daily ejaculation encourages the production of newer healthier sperm and leads to a 12% drop in sperm DNA damage.

4. Male sperm counts decline with age. It takes a man over 45, five times longer to get his partner pregnant. Even older men who have very young wives (<25 years of age) take four times longer to impregnate their partners.

5. Research from Harvard School of Public Health confirms that eating certain vegetables and salads can improve sperm motility and sperm quality. Men who ate higher levels of beta-carotene, which is found in carrots, lettuce and spinach, and lutein, which is found in lettuce and spinach, had a 6.5% increase in sperm motility. Those who consumed higher levels of lycopene, which is found in tomatoes, had 1.7% improved sperm quality.

6. Research by Professor Jill Attaman from Harvard Medical School in Boston has linked a diet that is high in saturated fat to reduced sperm counts. In contrast, men who consumed more omega-3 fatty acids were found to have sperm with a more normal structure. Sardines, salmon, flax seeds and walnuts are excellent sources of omega-3 fatty acids and you might also want to add in an oral antioxidant such as vitamin E, L-carnitine, zinc or magnesium.

7. A meta analysis of existing research on male fertility found that couples were more likely to have a pregnancy, or live birth, if the man took certain vitamins or other antioxidants. Sperm count can be improved by a combination of zinc and folic acid. Low levels of vitamin C have been implicated in an abnormal sperm count.

8. Dehydration can also lead to reduced semen production. Semen is the watery fluid that protects and nourishes sperm cells and transports them during ejaculation. If there is not enough fluid, conception is less likely.

9. Keep cool. The testicles hang down from the body is so that they can maintain the cooler temperatures that are required for sperm production. Because it is not advisable to allow the testes to heat up by more than 1°C, long baths or Jacuzzis are not a good idea.

10. Nor is it a good idea to work with a laptop on your knee because the heat from the computer has been shown to increase scrotal temperature by 2.6°C within fifteen minutes. Rates of infertility among chefs are twice the UK average because of exposure to to intense heat and radiation from ovens.

Sperm Count :

Sperm Count : Semen is a white or grey liquid, but can occasionally appear yellowish. Pink or red semen suggests that blood is present. Although this is only rarely due to a serious health problem. Usually, each milliliter of semen contains millions of spermatozoa (sperm), but the majority of the volume consists of secretions of the glands in the male reproductive organs. The purpose of semen is purely for reproduction, as a vehicle to carry the spermatozoa into the female reproductive tract. The WHO provides a definition of a 'normal' sperm count: the concentration of spermatozoa should be at least 20 million per ml. the total volume of semen should be at least 2ml. the total number of spermatozoa in the ejaculate should be at least 40 million. at least 75 per cent of the spermatozoa should be alive (it is normal for up to 25 per cent to be dead). at least 30 per cent of the spermatozoa should be of normal shape and form. at least 25 per cent of the spermatozoa should be swimming with rapid forward movement. at least 50 per cent of the spermatozoa should be swimming forward, even if only sluggishly.   Causes for low sperm count: Infected semen Tight underpants, bathing in very hot water, sitting for long hours, over weight in which fat layers sag on testicles reduce sperm count Very frequent semen ejaculation also lead to lowered sperm count and man may become effectively infertile. Hence maintaining a gap of 3 days between two consecutive ejaculations keeps a man more fertile. Smoking, Excessive alcohol intake. Over exertion physically and mentally Zinc deficiency Infections present in prostate gland. Malformed genital organs. Anabolic steroid use 10 Ways you can Increase Your Sperm Count 1. Have sex & masturbate less often - the more times you ejaculate, the less dense your semen will be. Maintain a gap of 3 days between two consecutive ejaculations. 2. Refrain from habits like smoking, alcohol consumption etc. - Alcohol affects your liver function, which, in turn, causes a dramatic rise in estrogen levels. Even two drinks a day will have long-term effects on sperm production 3. Exercise regularly. Exercising your PC muscle can help you shoot further than ever before. 4. Eat Nutritious Food - Diet that's low in fat, and high in protein, vegetables, and whole grains is good for your health and for your sperm. Avoid bitter, astringent and spicy foods. Reduce caffeine intake 5. Avoid heating of testicles - Wear loose, cotton boxer shorts, Avoid hot baths and saunas 6. Lose any excess weight, which tends to cause testosterone/oestrogen imbalances. 7. Reduce stress levels by learning relaxation techniques - Keep your mind and body healthy by regular practice of YOGA and MEDITATION. 8. Massage body with herbal oil, which improves blood circulation. 9. Try supplements - Certain natural supplements promise to increase sperm production. Checkout some Natural and Herbal, no side effects supplements at 10. Make love in the early morning or afternoon. Sperm levels are often highest in the mornings.

50 Ways to Boost Your Sperm Count

Want the best sperm in the world? Then try all 50.

Sperm. The one thing that mankind can’t live without. Literally.
And this oh so precious resource is dwindling every year.
The fact is, sperm counts are down over 50% since the 1940’s. And they continue to drop by 1-2% each year. [Learn more]
Reasons for the drop in sperm count?
The most studied causes for this trend are the increase in plastic use, certain therapeutic drugs, our poor food sources & dietary choices,and the overuse of insecticides, pesticides and industrial chemicals. [Source]
Regardless, were not here to talk about why this is happening (If you want to know more click here) But instead we’re here to learn how we can reverse this process and increase our sperm counts.
So for that, here are 50 things that will help:
1-25 are things you can do/avoid in order to increase your sperm count.
26-40 are foods that increase your sperm count.
41-50 are supplements that will increase your sperm count.
Enjoy.
1) Avoid Excessive Plastic Use
I say excessive because if you looked around for 5 seconds you would see that you are surrounded by plastics. There’s no avoiding them. But as you will see throughout this article, plastic chemicals like BPA and Phthalates are found in everything from our water sources to household products, and are proven to decrease sperm counts. These chemicals came around in the 1940’s, right when sperm counts began there decline. Coincidence?
Learn More:
Are Household Plastics Making You Less of a Man

2) Don’t Eat Canned Foods
According to this study, one of the plastics we referred to above, BPA, is still to this day used in many canned foods. These cans have been coated with the resin since the 1960’s. BTW, BPA is known as “synthetic estrogen” and we’ll be talking about it a lot in this list.

3) Skip Out on The Receipts
Next time the clerk hands you a receipt, say “no thanks!” Once again, our little friend BPA is coated on receipts (It gives them that powdery feel). A study, where researches got 10 people to handle unused receipts and then eat a basket of french fries, showed that, following the test, the participants had BPA levels that were 10X higher than when they started. Yikes!

4) Sadly, Stop Using Most Sex Toys
Sex toys are often made with the plastic softening chemicals called phthalates. These phthalates are proven to lower sperm count. How can you stay safe while still having fun? Stick to glass, silicone and green sex toys. It’s not all bad.
Learn More:

5) Use Natural Lube
Most lubricants are not sperm friendly. They either kill the sperm or they can act like a barrier and are too thick for the sperm to swim through. This is bad for couples trying to conceive and can make your sperm much less effective. Luckily there are sperm friendly lubricants created for just that and we link to them below.
Learn More:
Sperm Friendly Lubricant

6) Watch Out For Non-Stick Pans & Raincoats
Weird combination, but these two things contain chemicals called perfluoralkyl acids which give them their non-stick quality. It was found that men with high levels of these chemicals in their blood (like plant workers) had half the sperm counts of normal men.

7) Shower Naturally
Phthalates are found in most shampoos, soaps, conditioners, deodorants and shaving products. They make you feel silky smooth, but they are destroying your sperm count. You can increase your sperm count simply by switching to organic products that are phthalate free. It will be worth the extra $25 a month when you can father children.

8) Avoid Other Harmful Chemicals
We’ve talked a lot about chemicals already, and for the sake of everyone, we’ll end it here. Otherwise it would be 85,000 ways to increase your sperm count. So basically, just watch out for chemicals in general. Pesticides and other harmful chemicals all play a role in sperm count reduction. These chemicals wreak havoc on our endocrine systems, and put our swimmers at risk. You can find these on most fruits and veggies that are not certified organic. For best results, just buy organic. Also, all those crazy cleaning products you use. No bueno. Stick to organic products as much as possible. Just this alone will increase your sperm count.

9) Stop Smoking Dope
Studies show that marijuana smokers have significantly less seminal fluid and a decreased sperm count. This is surprising to me as this herb comes out of mother earth. But facts are facts.

10) Stop Smoking Period
Okay, the marijuana one was a surprise to me as well. But it comes at no surprise that if you want to increase your sperm count you have to ditch the cigarettes. This should be the first thing you do!

11) Check Your Medications
Many common medications can lower your sperm count. When trying to boost sperm counts, make sure you Google search “any medications you are taking + sperm count.” This will quickly tell you if these medications are some of the many that interfere with sperm counts.

12) Chill Out Man
Stress is a big cause of low testosterone levels. This in turn hurts your sperm count. If you want to boost your sperm counts, chill out. Get a handle on your stress patterns and possibly look into meditation. It really works.

13) Get That Laptop Off Your Lap!
A hot laptop on your lap is a recipe for sperm loss. Excessive heat + Testicles = Bad for business. Use a pillow or buy a lap desk and ensure your boys are nice and cool, like you.

14) Watch That Wifi
Another reason to get that laptop off your lap is because a recent studyshowed that blasting sperm collected from 29 healthy men with wifi exposure caused one-quarter of the sperm to stop swimming, while only 14% of sperm not exposed stopped swimming. This is alarming as I am typing this article on a laptop right now. <article suddenly ends>

15) Stay Sober
While alcohol is not shown to drastically decrease sperm counts, it is a good strategy to limit the booze when you are trying to increase your sperm count or father children.
Learn More:

16) Bike Less
It was found in a study of spanish triathletes that they had a lower sperm count that athletes competing in sports that didn’t involve cycling. The study showed that there was an inverse relationship between the shape of the head, tail and  body of the spermatozoids and hours spent cycling each week.

17) Watch Less T.V
A recent study showed that men who watched 20 hours of T.V or more a week actually had half the sperm of men who didn’t watch T.V at all. This is a startling statistic. If you want to increase your sperm count, turn off the tube.

18) Move Your Cell Phone
The fact is, cell phones emit radiation in the form of electromagnetic waves. Having this go on in you pocket, which is RIGHT next to your balls, is a horrible combination. Tim Ferris actually states in his book The Four Hour Body, that he increased his sperm count simply by keeping his phone in an armband rather than his pocket. He has all sorts of great stuff like this in his book. I link to both below.

19) Watch Out For Hot Baths & Hot Tubs
Hot tubs are awesome. But they are not good for your sperm what so ever. Just 30 minutes in water than is 102 F or higher will significantly lower your immediate sperm count. Studies done in the 1950’s show that men who took a half hour hot bath every other day for 3 weeks were infertile for the next six month! I’m not gonna lie, that sucks. I love hot tubs. On top of that, a recent study done at UCSF showed that when men cut out there exposure to hot baths, their sperm counts went up 491%.

20) Exercise!
Exercise seems to be good for everything, and this is no different when it comes to increasing your sperm count. A study shows that men exercising more than 7 hours a week had roughly 48% higher concentrations in sperm than men who exercised less than 1 hour per week.
Learn More:
Exercise Increases Sperm Count

21) Lose Weight
The good news is, if you’re exercising, you probably have this one covered. Studies show that being obese (having a BMI over 30) greatly decreases a mans chance of being fertile while also lowering his sperm count.
Learn More:
Male Infertility More Common in Overweight Men

22) Have More Sex
Good news! Using your sperm doesn’t make it any less potent. And it’s actually the opposite. “Saving your sperm” for when a woman is more fertile is actually a bad strategy. According to research, guys with low sperm counts who abstain for more than a day slow down production even more and cause the sperm that is in the bank to go “stale.” Enjoy your sex.
Learn More:
Have Sex Daily to Boost Sperm Count

23) Don’t Worry About Masturbation
Even though regular sex will increase the effectiveness and count of your sperm, there has been mixed reviews about whether masturbation has the same effect. Some studies show it does, some studies show it doesn’t. So basically, don’t worry about masturbation per say, just be careful of the dangers of porn addiction.
Learn More:
Male Masturbation Effects on Fertility and Sperm Count

24) Lose The Super Tight Undies
In order for the testes to produce quality sperm, the temperature of the testes must be much lower than your body temperature. This is why you balls are located outside of your body. Even a couple degrees in temperature rise is enough to have a negative effect, so if they are tight enough to be holding your balls too close to your body (this means super tight), they will hurt your sperm count, even if only slightly. I wouldn’t worry about briefs per say, but some “nut huggers” do just that.

25) Take Cold Showers
Cold showers are great for you. They increase your insulin resistance, have been shown to ease depression, boost testosterone levels, help you sleep better at night, and yes, increase sperm counts. I know it sounds terrible, but try it. It really does wake you up in the morning like nothing else. Ironically it also its you to sleep at night like nothing else. Just do it.

26) Eat a Healthy Diet
Diet is usually the fix to most modern ailments, including low sperm counts. The fact is, modern diets suck. Just fixing this alone can dramatically increase your sperm count. Reducing sugars, eliminating wheat & grains and upping your fruit, vegetable & healthy fat intake is a start. This will dramatically increase your sperm count. But for the next 15 bullet points we’ll let you know exact things you can put in your diet to give your body an extra boost in sperm production and fertility.

27) Limit Caffeine
A cup of coffee a day is not likely to reduce fertility or sperm count. But drinking caffeine in excessive amount (more than 3 cups a day) is suspected to have a negative effect on your sperm by increasing the chance of mutation.

28) Cut Back on Coke and Other Soda’s
In a Danish study among 2,554 young Danish men recruited when they were examined to determine their fitness for military service, it was recorded that the men who drank high amounts of Cola had sperm counts of around 40 mL/M while the men who didn’t drink Cola had an average of 56 mL/M. They couldn’t say whether it was the caffeine or not, but coke and other soda are certainly not going to increase sperm counts in men, so lay off.

29) Eat Red Food
A recent study published in Ohio’s Cleveland Clinic showed that consumption of Lycopene (commonly found in red fruits such as tomatoes, strawberries, cherries and peppers) increased the mobility, morphology and volume of sperm, as well as increasing sperm counts up to 70%. These findings are nothing short of amazing.

30) Eat Garlic
Considered a natural aphrodisiac and sexual superfood, garlic contains Selenium, and antioxidant necessary for sperm motility and Allicin, and compound that increases blood flow to the male sex organs. Add it to your daily mix to see a boost in sex drive and an increase in sperm count. Just make sure you buy some chewing gum before you hit the bars. All this being said, it is found that TOO MUCH garlic can actually have a negative effect on sperm counts, so use in moderation.
How Much?
For a rise in sperm count, start adding 1-2 garlic cloves to a meal daily. This will also provide you with a nice boost in libido.

31) Eat Goji Berries
A Chinese study of 42 men who were all diagnosed with infertility due to low sperm count and motility were given a 1/2 oz of Goji Berries a day. After 1 month on the treatment 50% of the men had sperm counts in the normal and above normal range. And after only 2 months of the treatment, 33 of the men had sperm counts from normal to above normal levels and each of those 33 men went on to father children. This is amazing! Goji berries alone can do wonders for your sperm count.
How Much?
As Food: Up to once ounce of berries may be eaten daily.

32) Eat Oysters
Oysters are known as being one of the most potent sexual enhancers you can naturally ingest. But what many don’t know is that, as well as increasing your sex drive, they also increase your sperm count. Why is this? It is because of the extremely high amount of Zinc that oysters contain. Oysters are loaded with this building block of sperm and it will show in a rise in your swimmers.
How Much?
Since Zinc is stored in our bodies there is no need to eat daily. Try eating 8-12 oysters once a week to start. Your sex that night will astound you. (See link below)

33) Eat Dark Chocolate
Chocolate lovers rejoice! Dark chocolate, being loaded with antioxidants and arginine, is a potent sperm enhancer. Men who commonly eat dark chocolate also report more intense orgasms, so that’s always fun. While dark chocolate does contain L-Arginine, it is not in huge amount, so learn more about how to supplement with that later.
How Much?
If you like some sweets at night, start eating a few squares of dark chocolate after dinner. No need to get crazy scientific about this one.

34) Eat Bananas
Bananas don’t only look like a penis, but they make your penis better. Bananas obtain a rare enzyme called Bromeliad, which is good for the bro’s because it helps regulate sex hormones. They are also loaded with Magnesium, Vitamin B1 & Vitamin C, which are building blocks of sperm.
How Much?
Eating 1-3 bananas a week is enough for them to help increase your sperm counts. Try it before or after a workout or sex.

35) Eat Asparagus
Asparagus contain super high levels of Vitamin C, which prevents your sperm from oxidizing, protects the cells of your testes and reduces free radical damage. They also contain Folic Acid which we will talk about later. Well worth the price of some slightly smelly urine.
How Much:
Include asparagus in your dinners a few times a week. This healthy vegetable will not only improve your health, but add some class to your meals.

36) Eat More Nuts, Specifically Walnuts
Nuts have been know for a long time to be great for health as well as the male reproductive system. In 2012, a study published at the University of California showed that men who consumed 75g of walnuts every day showed a huge improvement in sperm vitality, motility and morphology (3 indicators of quality sperm). The results we concluded to be from the high amount of polyunsaturated fatty acids in nuts. Nuts like walnuts and almonds also contain a good amount of L-Arginine, which once again has been shown to increase sperm count in men while peanuts contain a good amount of Zinc. Overall, nuts are great for your nuts. Bonus: Brazilian nuts are an amazing source of Selenium that Tim Ferris uses to boost his testosterone and sperm count as well.
How Much?
75 g of walnuts seemed to do the trick in the study. So if you are trying to raise your sperm counts, try this amount. If you just want to get the health benefits, just start snaking on nuts regularly. For Brazilian nuts, you only need 2-3 a day to get a high dose of selenium. Don’t eat more than that.

37) Try Pumpkin Seeds
Pumpkin seeds are very high in zinc, which as we spoke about above, is a major building block of sperm and testosterone. As well has containing lots of zinc, pumpkin seeds contain B vitamins, vitamin E, C, D & K which are all libido increasing vitamins. They also contain calcium, potassium, niacin and phosphorous.
How Much?
Pumpkin seeds should always be eaten raw to preserve the healthy fats present. Choose organic pumpkin seeds, to avoid the harmful chemicals and pesticides which are shown to lower your sperm count & snack on them like you would sunflower seeds. Enjoy.

38) Limit Your Soy Intake
Soy and men don’t mix. This study shows that soy dramatically reduced sperm count in men. In the study it was found that men who ate a lot of soy food actually had, on average, 41 million/mL less sperm than guys who didn’t consume soy products. This finding is huge! And can save a lot of men from infertility problems. Stay away from soy, at all costs.
How Much?
