9 things your guy is doing that are lowering his sperm count
We hate to hurt their egos, but modern men?s sperm are coming up short. According to a 2017 study by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, sperm counts among Western men have dropped more than 50 percent in the past 40 years. While scientists can?t pinpoint an exact explanation, studies have shown that certain lifestyle factors play a large role in a man?s sperm count. The good news is that, most of the time, those levels aren?t permanent.
?Normal sperm production takes 60 to 90 days,? says Ari Baratz, a fertility doctor at Create Fertility Centre in Toronto. That means the effects of poor lifestyle choices can be reversed in just two or three months. Here are some of the most common behaviours responsible for lowering his sperm count and what to do about them. 1. Not ejaculating enough
It?s a misconception that men have to save up sperm when it?s baby-making time. In fact, frequent sexual activity is important for sperm health. ?If the body isn?t getting the message to produce sperm, it won?t produce as much,? says Baratz. ?Essentially, use it or lose it.? Health experts recommend that males ejaculate once or twice a week to maintain production.Â
