Low sperm count is the inability to produce quality sperm; in other words, low sperm count is one of the fertility challenge that affect men who have been trying to get their wives pregnant. Every man is expected to produce sperm that can fertilise the female egg but if the sperm produced by a male is below normal conditions, it is known as “Oligospermia.”

Here are some of the known causes responsible for low sperm count

•    Wearing tight underpants, sitting in the hot-tub for long hours, taking hot water baths and being obese (over weight).
•    Infected semen
•    Smoking and too much alcohol intake
•    Constant masturbation
•    Zinc deficiency
•    Malformed genitals
•    Over exerting the body, physically and mentally
•    Prostrate gland infections
•    Exposure to toxic pollutants
•    Bad eating habits (eating fast and over processed foods)

Several Ways to Boost Sperm Count

Low sperm count can be easily treated using the following methods:

Eating healthy and nutritious food – frequent consumption of over processed food (mostly found in fast food restaurants) contributes to the decrease of sperm count. In order to boost sperm count, make sure you eat foods that are rich in Vitamins and also make sure you eat lots of natural food as much as possible. Avoid foods that are acidic in nature, bitter and spicy.

Great sperm count boosting foods include: celery (uncooked), bananas, oysters, avocado pears, almonds etc.

Go easy on the caffeine – caffeinated drinks are known to decrease sperm count over a long period of time.

Drink plenty of water – drinking lots of water helps to increase sperm count and it also keeps you healthy as well. Drinking water is also one of the cheapest ways of increasing sperm count.

Quit habits such as smoking and drinking – smoking has no positive effects on the human system and alcohol intake (even if it is just two glasses) can affect the quality of sperm. Your best bet is to desist from these un-wholesome habits.

Avoid anything that will stress you emotionally - everyone goes through an emotional period which affects the production of quality sperm. Try as much as possible to keep your mind clear of emotional baggage and your entire body will benefit from this too. Feelings of depression and emotional stress are known to affect the production of quality sperm. You can take up yoga, which is very good stress relieving exercise.

Massage – undergoing massage therapy (using herbal oils) can help increase blood circulation which is good for increasing sperm count.

Undergarments – do not wear underpants that are too tight, give the testicles some room to breathe.

Exercise – regular exercise can help you shed excess weight and boost sperm count.  

Have sex and do not make masturbating a frequent habit - because your semen becomes less dense if you continue to ejaculate more often (through masturbation). Preserve a three day gap between two successive ejaculations in order not to end up with a low sperm count.

Take nutritional supplements - There are lots of nutritional supplements that can help boost sperm count, some of which include:

•    Zinc supplements - raises  testosterone levels and increase sperm count
•    Vitamins C, B12, and E supplements – are used to boost sperm count, improve the quality of sperm production and protect the sperm from damage.
•    Arginine supplements – research has shown that arginine supplements can be used to increase sperm count and improve fertility in infertile men.
•    Carnitine supplements – helps sperm cells function normally and help men who suffer from low sperm quality normalise sperm motility.
•    Coenzyme Q10 supplements – research has shown that taking 10 milligram of coenzyme for about two weeks will boost sperm count.


Before taking any of the above supplements, be sure to consult your physician first. Do not self medicate.

    Low sperm count is production of low quality sperm that is unable to fertilize the female egg. Some couples who have been trying to get pregnant may realize that all their efforts to conceive may be in vain because the sperm produced by the male is way below normal conditions. Low sperm count is also known as oligospermia.

    The Atkins and South Beach diets are two very popular and remarkably similar diets that focus on low carbohydrate intake. Both diets were developed by medical doctors who wanted to get away from the opinion generally prevalent, that fats in the diet were primarily to blame for obesity, which was, and still is, a major problem in the population.

    Reducing your daily calorie input from the food you eat is a well known strategy based on the scientific principle that the amount of calories you consume each day should be no more than the amount you use each day, rather they should be less. If you consistently take in slightly less calories than you expend then you should gradually shed weight as your body uses its reserves.

    Rather than focussing just on losing weight you should perhaps be thinking about losing weight while remaining healthy. This is the sensible way of looking at losing weight, and, immediately cuts out fad diets, crash diets, and pills of all sorts.

    If you have previously tried to lose weight and failed why was that? Was it perhaps that you didn’t really feel motivated enough and your initial enthusiasm began to wane after a couple of weeks when it seemed you had achieved only a disappointingly small amount of weight loss? Was it perhaps that you found your chosen diet too difficult or too time consuming to follow?

    If you are one of the many people trying to lose weight, have been dieting for a few weeks, but seen no apparent weight loss, it could be due, in part at least, to hidden calories. If you are on a proper, healthy diet, then you can expect it to take a few weeks before any noticeable difference occurs. Your weight can vary by up a couple of pounds from week to week anyway depending on various factors such as hormones, so until you are confident that you have lost 3-4 pounds you will not be happy.

    Fad diets and crash diets, such as the cabbage soup diet and Hollywood diet, are not only unhealthy but also tend to result in rebound weight gain. In other words, the weight you have lost is soon regained, either because the weight loss was mainly water, soon inevitably restored by the body, or because you cannot keep up a severely restrictive food diet for ever, or even for very long.
