The fertility of men is equally important, especially when it comes to sperm health, let's know how much sperm count a man should have to become a father-
What is sperm count?
Sperm count refers to the number of sperm present in one milliliter of semen. It is an important factor in determining male fertility. A low sperm count can make conceiving naturally more difficult.
What is a healthy sperm count?
According to medical standards:
A normal sperm concentration should be at least 1.5 crore sperm per milliliter of semen.
The total number of sperm per ejaculation should ideally be between 39 million and over 100 million.
Key factors other than number
Fertility is not just about the number of sperm. Other factors also play an important role in successful conception:
Motility (movement):
The sperm must swim efficiently to reach the egg and fertilize it.
Morphology (shape and size):
Healthy sperm must have the proper shape to successfully penetrate the egg.
How is sperm count measured?
To measure the number and quality of sperm, a semen analysis is done. This test is usually done in a pathology or fertility laboratory, where the sample is analyzed under a microscope.
You can visit any nearby diagnostic center or fertility clinic to get this test done.
How to increase sperm count naturally

A healthy lifestyle, stress management, regular exercise and abstinence from smoking or excessive alcohol can also significantly improve sperm quality over time.
