Hi, The production of sperm is a complex process and requires normal functioning of the testicles (testes) as well as the hypothalamus and pituitary glands — organs in your brain that produce hormones that trigger sperm production. Once sperm are produced in the testicles, delicate tubes transport them until they mix with semen and are ejaculated out of the penis. Problems with any of these systems can affect sperm production.
To protect your fertility, avoid known factors that can affect sperm count and quality. For example:
Don't smoke.Limit or abstain from alcohol.Steer clear of illicit drugs.Talk to your doctor about medications that can affect sperm count.Maintain a healthy weight.Avoid heat.Manage stress.Avoid exposure to pesticides, heavy metals and other toxins.
