Excessive Ejaculation - Permanent Low Sperm Count????


Posted by 36 yr old Male

Can excessive ejaculation lead to permanent low sperm count, or can sperm count improve over months of reduced ejaculation?

Theoretically, excessive ejaculation can decrease the sperm reserve in an individual with a low or low-normal count and thus reduce semen quality at the time that the highest quality is needed, when the women is ovulating. However, freguent masturbation will not have a long-term injurious effect on the testes.

Thank you for your response.  My wife and I are trying to have children but I am worried that my frequent masterbation this past Winter, Spring, and Summer may have permanent damage to my sperm count.  I have reduced ejaculation to every other day during my wife's ovulation period for the past 2 months. 

 

Can you tell me after 2 months of reduced ejaculation, do you think my sperm count has the chance of increasing in numbers and Quality?
