My question is about masturbation and sperm count. I have been masturbating for years, and now a fear has settled in my mind that because of this my sperm count must have gone down.<\/p>\n
I have read somewhere and heard from friends that frequent ejaculation makes sperm “run out” in the body, makes semen thin, and then causes difficulty in having a child after marriage. Because of this thought I worry even when thinking about marriage. I have also heard that if semen looks thin, it is a sign of weakness, and this increases the fear even more.<\/p>\n
If needed, I am also thinking of getting a semen analysis done, but I do not know the right way to go about it.<\/p>\n
I want to know:
\n– Does masturbating for years permanently reduce sperm count?
\n– How and in how much time does the body make sperm again?
\n– Is thin-looking semen a sign of some problem?
\n– What are the real causes of low sperm count?
\n– How many days of abstinence should be kept before a semen test, and what should be kept in mind?
\n– What does Ayurveda advise for nourishing Shukra Dhatu?<\/p>\n
I do not want to live in false fear about my future married life and children. If I get correct and clear information from you, my mind will be at peace, and if needed I will be able to get the right test at the right time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
