Posted on Wed, 21 Jun 2017
Question: Had low sperm count
Count 16million/ml motility 60%
Abstinence 4 days
Consulted a doctor and he prescribed Fertyl M or ( 3 months course).

Does masturbating/intercourse daily cause low sperm count?

My wife's first day of mensuration was 25th May 2017, and her average cycle is for 45 days. what would be the fertile period?

Brief Answer:
Hi, I think your wife needs further evaluation.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic.

I think your semen analysis is normal. A count above 15 million per milliliter is considered within normal limits. Yes, it is on a lower side, but it is fine.

You can take Fertyl M for 3 months. It can help in increasing the count (you may need a prescription from your physician for the same).

Also, daily sex or masturbation doesn't seem to affect the semen quality or count.

Your wife needs further evaluation as her periods cycle is 45 days, which is not normal. Please get a thyroid profile and prolactin level as well as a ultrasound done to see uterus and ovaries to find out the cause of delayed periods. You can be in contact with your wife every 2 to 3 days after her periods stop. It will increase chance of pregnancy.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any other query, I will be happy to help.

Regards
