How can sperm quality be improved?
In the context of family planning, some couples make a vain attempt to become pregnant. This can have several causes. One possible cause is, for example, reduced sperm quality.
These can be reduced in number, too immobile or completely immobile, or simply too slow. A test to determine the quality and quantity of the sperm is the so-called spermiogram. The question often arises for the couple whether and how the sperm quality can be improved.
If the sperm are too slow, there are some tips on how to improve them: In principle, this can be called a healthy lifestyle. This is a decisive factor in almost all diseases. It therefore also plays an important role in improving sperm quality.
Smoking should be strictly avoided. Alcohol may be drunk, but only in moderation and not regularly. In addition, the man concerned should pay attention to a healthy diet.
This includes the consumption of fruit and vegetables. In particular, some vitamins and nutrients are important to improve sperm quality and should therefore be consumed in sufficient amounts. Especially zinc is mentioned again and again in connection with the improvement of sperm.
For example, zinc can also be taken regularly by men as a dietary supplement. Also Vitamin E is to play an important role, how one can improve the quality of sperms. With a reduced sperm quality likewise the meal of nuts can bring an improvement.
It is also important to pay attention to your weight and BMI (body mass index). This should be neither too low nor too high. You should therefore neither suffer from underweight nor overweight.
Regular exercise can also improve sperm quality. However, you should not overdo it and do competitive sports, because competitive sports can reduce sperm quality. At the same time, you should avoid taking anabolic steroids to build up muscles, as this reduces and influences sperm quality.
The couple concerned should pay attention to a lively sex life. Although this reduces the amount of sperm and sperm fluid and the concentration of sperm cells in the secretion, it also improves both the quality and motility of the sperm cells. Finally, the temperature of the testicles should also be taken into account.
An increased testicular temperature also leads to an increase in the temperature of the sperm. However, the sperm need a certain amount of cold to survive and not die. Therefore, things that can increase the temperature of the testicles should be avoided.
The man should avoid frequent visits to the sauna, in the car the seat heater should not be running all the time, but even the computer on his lap can cause the temperature to rise. With all these tips, sperm that are too slow can become faster. If this is still not successful, then often only artificial insemination can help.
