I know, I know I am married since 4 years and haven’t yet given ‘The Good News’, but just stop dragging me to doctors every monthly anniversaries, though I come out all fit. Blame it to the Indian Society or the Indian mentality! The moment people realise it’s been a couple of years and you haven’t welcomed a bun in the oven, it’s all your fault. You know what I tell these people? “It can’t be women always! There’s something called ‘Sperm’ responsible to make you pregnant, if the sperm count is less, the chances of fertility narrows!”
I am sure you are wondering what makes the sperm count go down! Stop overthinking, and looking for precautions as I tell you the right reasons for a decreased sperm count in men. Once you know, ask the love of your life to curb these habits:

- The Scary Sunscreen!
Yeah, you read that correct. The Sunscreen lotion that your man applies turns out to be a problem giver and not taker! According to a study, the skin absorbs chemicals which filter out UV rays, like BP-2 or 3OH-BP causing 30% reduction in the sperm count. It is advisable to washout the lotion once he is out of sun’s reach.

- No More Laptop On Lap!
Men who are working/enjoying laptops making them stable on their laps are just killing a possibility of having children one step closer. The heat that is released from the laptop directly affects the temperature of the testicles which are actually out of the body to remain cool.

Men all around, we understand how painful this is but he should avoid having Soy or for that matter any products made of soy! It mimics Estrogen in the body causing the initiation of female hormones which decreases the level of men hormones affecting the sperm count. A half of the soy serve has the capacity to effect the sperm count.

- Smoke The Smoke!
Tobacco smoke can cause the defective mobility of the sperms, causing them to move very slow. Cigar/Cigarettes/Hookah/Beedi increases the free radicals in seminal fluid. Something majority of men do!
I am sure now that you know the reasons behind bad fertility, you will not let this happen to your happy married life. Tell your man to take precautions and I am sure he will understand your concern. After all, who would not love ‘Parenthood’. Take Care!
