Thanks doctor First of all. I have few more questions

1. Whether by doing masturbation will reduce the sperm count? What is the minimal sperm count should be there?

Brief Answer:
No relation between masturbation and future fertility.

Detailed Answer:
Hi again.
1. Daily masturbation can cause slight variation in sperm counts,not significant.
Minimal sperm count per ml semen is 20 million/ml.
Only one sperm is needed to fertilize an egg, and result in pregnancy.
2. There's absolutely nothing to worry, that present masturbation,may cause infertility. There's no relation between the two.
Hope your doubts are cleared.
