I've seen some couples who are having trouble conceiving and are thus doing IVF or other assisted reproductive techniques. The advice from the fertility specialist has always been to try to abstain from sex in the hopes of elevating sperm counts. Makes sense! But we know that there are other factors at play in addition to the total sperm count, such as the quality of the sperm.
In a recent study by Australian researchers, it was found that men with lower quality sperm could help increase the quality of their sperm by having sex every day for one week. The lead author, Dr. David Greening states that frequent ejaculation improved the quality of sperm by reducing the length of time they were exposed to damaging free radicals in the testicular duct.
Happy Canada Day folks!
