How to Increase your Sperm Count

The sperm count is very vital when a couple is trying to conceive. A broader line or low sperm count can cause it to be difficult for a woman to become pregnant. There are some things a man can do to increase the number of sperm.

Instructions

1. The first and most important part of increasing sperm count is to stop doing drugs of all sorts. This includes ALL drugs such as over-the-counter and even some prescription medications. Please check with a doctor before quitting a prescription, talk it over and if it is one that causes a decrease in sperm count, the doctor might be able to provide something similar. Do not take risk! Talk to the doctor and pharmacist. Some medications as mild as over-the-counter heartburn medication can cause low sperm count.

2. Stop other drugs such as recreational drugs and alcohol. Marijuana is a great contributor to decreasing sperm count. Sometimes a guy has to be off marijuana for several months before making a difference. Stay completely clear of steroids which can cause a man to become completely sterile.

3. Avoid hot stuff in the testicle area such as tight pants and underwear, saunas, hot tubs, excessive exercise or activities.

4. Stay healthy. Being slightly sick won't do much damage to high sperm count, but it can really hurt someone with low sperm count. Remember a bad infection can effect sperm count for several months. Give the body time and rest to bounce back.

5. If trying for conception, the man should avoid too much intercourse. There should be a few days of abstinence before ovulation.
