10 Ways You Can Increase Your Sperm Count
By Dr Rav Davis

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

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.

5. Avoid heating of testicles - Wear loose, cotton boxer shorts, Avoid hot baths and saunas
