Before we get to the solutions let's try to understand some causes of infertility in males. 

Causes of infertility:

The most common causes of infertility in males are low semen quality and low sperm count. Some other causes of infertility are given below —

Ways to increase fertility in males:

 Here are some of the natural ways that can effortlessly increase your fertility rate. 

Exercising regularly: As we all know exercises help us to boost our body stamina and strength. It also helps to maintain testosterone levels, which ultimately helps to increase fertility. 

A recent study has proven that men who are overweight not only have a decreased sperm count but also decreased sperm quality. Having a high BMI can decrease your sperm’s ability to swim and damages the DNA. Some doctors also believe that excessive body fat can cause changes in and reduce the reproductive hormone levels such as the testosterone level, causing infertility in men.

Avoid using alcohol,drugs and cigarettes:  Smoking messes with our hormonal and immune system very badly.  Another reason to kick this habit is because it also affects our fertility. Smoking is horrible for our sperm quality as it reduces  in low sperm count, a decrease in sperm movement and affects sperm quality. According to recent studies, the sperm’s ability to fertilise a woman’s egg also decreases if you smoke.

Some research shows that too much of alcohol decreases male fertility as it decreases sperm motility ( the ability of your sperm to move properly), affects sperm quality and reduces our sperm count.

Maintaining a cool environment: As hot environment is not hospitable for sperms. We need to give our testicles some ice cubes. Just kidding!!! If your sperm production power is too low and you work in a high temperature environment then you should keep your body cool by drinking water or juices with regular intervals of time. Avoid frequent and prolonged hot baths or working for long hours with the laptop in your lap as this can kill your sperns. Also, wear breathable cotton clothes and switch to shorts while you are in home. 

Maintaining a healthy diet: We should eat healthy foods which contain anti-oxidents, vitamin B,vitamin C and vitamin D and some healthy fats like omega 3 and omega 6. Foods containing zinc and folate helps to stimulate sex hormomes.
