Tips to Increase Sperm Count
Sperm count is the word that refers to the number of sperm released during a single ejaculation. The average amount of sperm ejaculated each occurrence is approximately fifty million. If a man releases less than this amount he is considered to have a low sperm count, which reduces fertility.
Sperm motility measures how good of a swimmer the sperm is. If the sperm is healthy more than fifty percent of it is active, with twenty five percent moving in a single direction. Good sperm motility is required for the sperm to travel through the cervix into the uterus and finally to the fallopian tubes, where it will hopefully eventually penetrate an egg.
Zinc is a commonly used treatment in infertility for both men and women. Zinc is vitally important for the formation and maturization of sperm. Taking a zinc supplement on a regular basis will raise testosterone levels; protect genetics and DNA of the sperm nucleus.
There are several reasons for low sperm count or quality. The most common are:
-
Stress
Emotional and psychological stress can lead to a low sperm count.
-
Exposure to excessive heat
Getting the testicles too hot will lead to a low sperm count. This can occur if you take a hot bath, use a sauna, or rest a laptop on your lap for a long period of time. Even wearing tight clothing can overheat the testicles. You should avoid any type of heat for a prolonged period of time.
-
Cycling.
Riding a bike is another thing that can raise the temperature of the testicles, causing low sperm count.
Many men fail to realize the importance of drinking water. Water helps the body stay healthy, both for skin and the reproductive system. Water flushes out toxins from the body. If you are adequately hydrated you will have better sperm volume, and the sperm develop healthily as they should.
If you think you are suffering from a low sperm count you should not give up hope. There are many forms of help available. You can talk to your doctor about medical intervention. Or you can look at herbal based remedies. There are thousands of herbal based pills on the market that are designed to increase semen volume, sperm quality and sperm quantity, as well as motility and sexual performance. Sperm count and quality can also be increased by taking a supplement of amino acids such as L-Carnitine and L-Arginine. These supplements can help increase motility and improve sperm count. Ceratin herbs contain plant based testosterone, which is important in assisting the production of sperm. Plant testosterone is much healthier than synthetic hormones.
