Tips to improve and increase a low sperm count which the leading cause of male infertility is. Temporary reduction in sperm production is related to various causes like heavy duty cycling, exposure to extreme heat, ill fitting briefs, insomnia, performance pressure and emotional stress. All of these are causes of low sperm count in men. However, patients who suffer from this temporary low count can try out some helpful lifestyle changes to boost their sperm count.
About six percent of males between the ages of 15 and 50 struggle with infertility. Male infertility can be caused by a variety of problems.
A specific cause, such as a varicocele, can be responsible for a low sperm count. A recent study shows that sperm count can be improved by a combination of zinc and folic acid. Low vitamin C has also been implicated in an abnormal sperm count. One all natural vitamin and fertility supplement called FertilAid for men has been found in a study to improve the sperm quality.
Causes of Low Sperm Count
Fertility problems in men may be multi-factorial, meaning that there may be more than one cause at the root of the problem. Here are some of the possible causes for low sperm count:
1. Prostate gland disorders
2. Hormonal problems
3. Overweight
4. Heat (due to wearing tight underpants, prolonged sitting in hot tub, etc.)
5. Infected semen
6. Increased masturbation and repeated ejaculation over a short period of time
7. Smoking and drinking alcohol
8. Anabolic steroid use
9. Some prescription drugs
10. Some illnesses
11. Genetic disorders
12. Testicular injury and disease
13. Environmental toxins and radiation
14. Zinc deficiency
Increase Sperm Count
A low sperm count can also reflect lifestyle choices that negatively impact male fertility. The following are some that may influence the sperm count:
1. Take a regular vitamin and fertility supplement including folic acid
2. Stop smoking because smoking significantly decreases both sperm count and sperm-cell motility.
3. Prevent overheating of the scotum: An increase of scrotal temperature (caused by tight underwear, long stays in a sauna or Jacuzzi, for example) can impair sperm production.
4. Prevent excessive stress and perform relaxation exercises: Since infertility and life in general can be stressful, learn to relax. Stress is sometimes responsible for certain infertility problems such as hormonal problems.
5. Maintain a healthy weight: Not too under or overweight since weight influences estrogen and testosterone levels.
6. Stop using drugs: Prolonged use of recreational drugs (for example, alcohol, marijuana, cocaine).
7. Stop steroids: Anabolic steroid use (may cause testicular shrinkage).
8. Do not overly exercise: Overly intense exercise (high levels of adrenal steroid hormones can cause a testosterone deficiency).
9. Stay away from Environmental hazards and toxins (such as pesticides, lead, paint, radiation, radioactive substances, mercury, benzene, boron, and heavy metals).
10. Eat well, get hydrated and sleep well. Malnutrition and anemia can negatively affect your sperm count.
11. Exercise regularly.Exercising your PC muscle can help you shoot further than ever before.
12. 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
13. Avoid heating of testicles - Wear loose, cotton boxer shorts, Avoid hot baths and saunas
14. Lose any excess weight, which tends to cause testosterone/oestrogen imbalances.
15. Reduce stress levels by learning relaxation techniques - Keep your mind and body healthy by regular practice of YOGA and MEDITATION.
16. Massage body with herbal oil, which improves blood circulation.
