How To Increase Sperm Count

Sperm cells are male gametes which are very very essential for the production of the next generation. If the sperm count of any human male is low then, he and his wife may face problems in conceiving a baby. Whether a male has a healthy sperm count or not, is determined by three factors. Let's talk about those.

1. Quantity: There should be around at least 40 million sperm cells in every ejaculate in order to have a healthy sperm count.

2. Quality: At least 4% of the total sperm cells must have normal shape and size. The head should not be too big or too small. The tail should not be too long or too short. Also, there should not be two tails.

3. Motility: At least 40% of the total sperm cells must show vigorous motility in order to qualify for the healthy sperm count.
