Brief Answer:
Masturbation does not affect sperm quality
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Masturbation of even upto once a day is normal and does not affect the sperm quality.
It does not affect the quality of sperms, though it may lessen the semen volume and consistency.
If you have doubts about sperm quality, you can go for semen analysis. It will help clear your doubts.
Medicines are not very effective if increasing sperm quality. Multivitamins with zinc have shown good improvement in sperm count. Lifestyle measures like reducing weight (if obese), avoiding alcohol, smoking and caffeine also helps.
Let me know if you have further doubts.

Brief Answer:
10 drops is less
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
The usual volume of semen is 2 - 5 ml during each ejaculation. 10 drops is around 0.5 ml which is less. I would still suggest you to go for semen analysis. They will be better able to analyze the details about it.
Oligocare is the supplement that is usually prescribed. But these supplements should be taken if there is infertility due to sperm or semen issues. It has an anti-oxidant constituent called lycopene and herbal constituents like L-carnitine, etc along with some vitamins and minerals. The herbal constituents may have some unknown or unknown side effects. These are usually not backed by enough research.
Hope it helps.
