CAUSES OF LOW SPERM COUNT IN MEN
A man will be considered at risk of being infertile if his sperm count is less than 20 million/mL of semen. This level is defined by the World Health Organisation but it is important to realise that some men with low sperm counts will still prove fertile whilst others with higher counts prove infertile. So a measure of sperm count is not a completely reliable method of assessing fertility. If you are concerned that you may have a low sperm count then you can test yourself reliably using our sperm count test kit. What can be done ? If you suffer from 'oligospermia' - the term used to describe when the sperm count is low you should take a look at some of the possible causes below. It is almost certain that you should seek some medical advice. The only self-help option that we promote is to use Proxeed since recent clinical trials of this supplement have shown excellent results. If there are no sperm at all in the semen sample, the condition is termed azoospermia. In such cases, you will need to be followed up by a doctor who will ask you questions about your history and also give you a detailed physical examination (see below). Possible causes of a low sperm count.
The doctor will pay attention to your general physical condition but of course he will have a careful look at your genitals ! However, examination of the external genitalia in the male rarely shows anything out of the ordinary. Only occasionally are one or both testicles very small or rarely may even be absent. He may also discover that each of the vas deferens are missing - these are the ducts through the sperm must pass during intercourse. Other factors which may contribute to reduced fertility, and which can be identified on examination include:

HOW TO FLATTEN YOUR STOMACH IN 21 DAYS
When most people are overweight or obese they seem to carry the most fat weight around the abdominal stomach area, and of course this gives us that apple or pear shaped look so coincidentally the main issue is losing that belly fat. Belly fat is usually the easiest to put on, but the hardest to get rid of - here is how to lose the belly fat.
For the purpose of this article, I am going to focus on nutrition, as it really is 90% of the challenge to lose the belly fat. Get it wrong and you'll make it mission impossible. Here are the fundamentals of nutrition for a smooth stomach.
Try this for 21 days!
The Rules: Eat 5 healthy balanced meals per day, 2 - 3 hours apart. Drink 2 glass of water with each meal. Don't eat anything for 1 -2 hours before going to bed or performing any exercise.
For breakfast - have a bowl of oatmeal with semi-skim milk and one piece of fruit. The oatmeal contains healthy slow release carbs which will help you feel fuller and give you longer lasting energy. The milk contains low fat protein essential for muscle cell repair after your exercise routine.
Mid morning - snack on 1 low fat natural yogurt (which is lowest in sugar) and another piece of fruit. The fruit will contain vitamins and minerals to aid your bodies recovery and yogurt contains protein to help burn the fat faster.
Lunch - A palm sized lean protein such as a chicken breast or 2 eggs, with 1 baked, steamed or boiled potato (a yam is better) and a handful of veges. This should fill a plate and make you feel satisfied until your mid after noon snack. The veges will give you the antioxidants to fight the toxins within your body that cause fat.
Mixing a protein with a carb such as a potato will allow the use able proteins to be delivered to your lean muscle faster, therefore increasing your metabolism and burning more fat.
Mid afternoon - snack on a handful of vegetables, and a handful of almonds. Almonds contain a mix of healthy proteins and heart strengthening essential fat acids, which will once again keep you sain until dinner time.
Dinner - Another palm sized piece of lean protein source such as turkey, fish or lean red meat, together with a big salad mixed with 1 tablespoon of olive oil as the dressing base.
Removing the carbs (such as pasta, rice, potatoes, etc.) from dinner, when you'll be needing it the least will allow the body to start burning the fat instead. The olive oil will once again boost your essential fatty acid intake and help reach your recommended daily calorie intake for the day.
Follow this meal plan structure and you will be sporting that flat stomach in no time. This meal plan alone should help you shed the fat, but if you want to accelerate results ad consistent exercise, anything as long as it gets your heart pumping and you're sweating.
Don't ever neglect your nutrition however as eating enough of the right foods will allow you to lose the belly fat faster.

Sex every day is prescription for improving sperm quality
Men who suffer fertility problems because of low sperm quality may be able to improve their chances of fatherhood by having sex every day, research has suggested.
While those trying for a baby are often told to refrain from ejaculating too often to protect their sperm count, Australian scientists have shown that this can be counterproductive and may lower male fertility.
Among men whose fertility problems stem from genetic damage to their sperm rather than a low sperm count, abstaining from sex can make their difficulties worse, research led by David Greening, of Sydney IVF, has shown.
The pilot study of 42 men whose sperm showed significant DNA damage found that daily ejaculation reduced this by 12 per cent. While the results are preliminary and no direct effect on fertility has yet been measured, they suggest that certain men could benefit from having sex more often, or from abstaining less before providing semen for use in IVF.
Dr Greening, who presented his results at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine conference in Washington yesterday, said: “I’m convinced that ejaculating more frequently, ie daily, improves sperm DNA damage in most men by a decent amount.
“Prior to IVF, for example, men are abstaining a lot more than normal and perhaps sperm DNA increases more than usual. Men think if they abstain for longer times before, say, ovulation that their sperm will be better. [There may be] more volume and numbers but DNA damage may increase.”
Abstaining from sex does increase the number of sperm that are ejaculated, and this has led to advice that couples trying for a baby should have sex every two to three days.
Longer periods of abstinence, however, achieve little because while the quantity of sperm might increase, its quality declines. As sperm is produced, it is stored in the epididymis at the top of the testicle, but the longer it sits there the more damage it accumulates from exposure to free radicals.
Regular ejaculation empties this sperm reservoir, making sure that newly produced sperm of higher genetic quality can get out.
Allan Pacey, a senior lecturer in andrology at the University of Sheffield, said that clearing the reservoir was more important when sperm had high levels of genetic damage. “If you get above 30 to 40 per cent damaged DNA, a man is highly likely to be infertile,” he said. “When you put people on a daily ejaculation regime, it reduces that figure for DNA damage. If you can go from 30 per cent down to 20 per cent that is quite a big shift, that should have implications for fertility.
“There is a trade-off between genetic damage and quantity, so when a couple are first trying to get pregnant a wait of two to three days is probably advisable. But if you are a guy who has high DNA damage and a decent sperm count, it is probably in your interest to ejaculate every day.
“I remember one couple in which the woman would only let the man ejaculate when she was in her fertile period, so the poor chap was going without for almost a month at a time.
“Even leaving aside the frustration that must have caused, it would have had no benefits.”
