How To Increase Ejaculate Volume and Sperm Count
New research coming out of Israel has challenged the current medical paradigm which states that refraining from sex by up to a week can be beneficial for men who are undergoing fertility treatment, or who want to increase the quality and volume of their sperm.
Doctors investigated over 7,200 semen samples and monitored them for volume, concentration, shape, health, and their level of motility. These semen samples were taken from approximately 6000 different men who were being treated for infertility and had abstained from ejaculating and sex for periods of 1 to 2 weeks.
Out of the 7,200 sperm samples 4500 had sperm counts within the normal range while the remaining specimens displayed various levels of oligozoospermic, meaning they displayed a reduced semen count, ranging from sever to mild.
The people involved with this research found that while the semen volume actually increased by abstaining from sex for 11-14 days, the quality and count of semen gradually deteriorated.
In the specimens who already had reduced sperm counts, the proportion of mobile sperm fell significantly after day 2. Reaching its low at around day six and then staying there for the remainder of the two weeks.
Dr. Eliahu Levitas is set to speak to the European Socety of Human Reproduction in Madrid: "Semen volume was directly and significantly correlated with duration of abstinence, while sperm motility was inversely and significantly related to abstinence in oligozoospermic samples only. The percentage of normal forms of sperm was inversely and significantly related to abstinence in both moderately oligozoospermic and normal samples."
This finding stares in the face of the current ideology which says that most fertility clinics followed the World Health Organisation guidelines of recommending sexual abstinence for two to seven days prior to treatment.
What should be being prescribed is:
"For these patients we recommend minimal abstinence - ideally no more than two days."
Dr. Levitas said there was no real consensus among researchers as to why sperm gets damaged and becomes less viable. "It's possible that there is oxidative DNA damage by, for example, cigarette smoking or other damaging agents. Or perhaps the sperm from oligozoospermic men is more susceptible to detrimental agents and therefore might benefit from spending only a short time in the reproductive tract."
