What are some causes for low sperm count?
Sperm count can be affected by a number of factors. Smoking can lower sperm count, as can excessive drinking or drug use. Frequent ejaculation can also slow sperm production, so try to wait 2-3 days between ejaculations. One should also be careful to avoid tight underpants, bathing in hot water, and prolonged periods of sitting as these things have all been shown to lower sperm count. In addition anabolic steroid use and zinc deficiency have also been linked to low sperm count.
