- 1). Refrain from using tobacco and illicit drugs, and consume alcohol only in moderation. These substances can contribute to a low seminal volume.
- 2). Talk to your doctor about your medications. Some drugs can interfere with the production of sperm, such as medicines for cancer or an enlarged prostate. Do not stop taking a prescribed medication without consulting your doctor.
- 3). Engage in cardiovascular exercise to encourage sperm production, but do not work out to the point of exhaustion.
- 4). Maintain a normal scrotal temperature. Avoid taking hot baths, using a sauna or riding a bicycle for longer than 30 minutes. If you use a laptop, do not place it on your lap. All of these activities can increase your temperature, which can lower sperm production.
- 1). Consume filtered or bottled water because tap water may sometimes contain pesticides or other chemicals that can lower sperm count.
- 2). Add foods with vitamins C and E to your diet. These include strawberries, spinach, tomatoes, wheat germ, whole grains and avocados.
- 3). Take an omega-3 fatty acid supplement. Fish oil may help improve fertility.
- 4). Supplement your diet with a multivitamin to provide your body with sufficient nutrients like vitamins C and E.
