Remedies to increase sperm count A low sperm count results in decreased chances of fertilising the egg, so if you are planning on having children, you will need to work on increasing sperm count.
First of all, try and identify if any of the following factors may be your problem:
- Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
- Wearing tight fitting under clothes or sitting in a hot water bath for too long
- Zinc deficiency
- Using anabolic steroids
- Prostrate gland disorders
All of the above play a role in reducing motility and sperm count. Some natural remedies that can help address the issue are:
- Avoid smoking and cut down on alcohol intake if you cannot stop altogether
- Get moderate physical exercise.
Try not to be sedentary and at the same time do not overdo it - Wear loose fitting cotton undergarments
- Supplement for zinc or eat foods rich in zinc such as oysters
- Try and lose weight if you are overweight
Some supplements that help increase sperm count and motility are
- L-arginine
- L-carnitine
- Vitamin E and Vitamin C
- EFAs or essential fatty acids
- Zinc and Selenium
Ideally try and get a nutrient rich diet and spend a certain amount of time each day just relaxing by doing breathing exercises or meditating. If you are trying to have a child, then try not to masturbate between bouts of intercourse and try and have sex in the early mornings or afternoons when sperm count is at its highest.
