Not only does the motility, speed, count, concentration and morphology improve but sperm fragmentation is often successfully treated.

While a woman is born with all the eggs she'll ever have, men produce sperm on a continual basis. Therefore, what a man does on a daily basis can affect the sperm maturation process.

Smoking, drinking, drugs, stress, poor nutrition and lack of exercise all can contribute to poor sperm quality. And, it was recently discovered, a man's sperm quality begins to decline around the age of 25.

Five main factors that contribute to overall sperm quality. A weakness in any of these areas can affect the chances of conception.

There are specific tests used to elavuted sperm quality and count.
 
  *  Motility: The ability to move in an active fashion. In healthy sperm, typically more than 50% are active with over 25% moving forcefully in one direction. Motility is what enables a sperm to travel up the cervical canal, into the uterus and the fallopian tubes and, finally, penetrate the egg. 

*  Speed: Progressive motility. In a healthy male, greater than 25% of sperm will exhibit progressive motility. It is thought that these are the sperm with the best chance of successfully fertilizing an egg. Count: The number of sperm in the fluid that is ejaculated (semen). There are over 40 million sperm in a normal ejaculate. A total count below 40 million may indicate decreased fertility. 

* Concentration: A measure of the number of sperm cells in a milliliters of semen. Normal concentration is at least 20 million sperm cells per milliliters of semen. 

* Morphology: The shape and size of the sperm. A healthy sperm cell will have a shape similar to a tadpole. The sperm's oval head contains the genetic material, the center provides energy and the tail propels the sperm forward.

Using the strict criteria put forth by the World Health Organization (1999), studies show lower pregnancy rates with less than 15% normal forms. Furthermore, experts believe that abnormally shaped sperm cannot fertilize an egg.

Motility, speed and morphology appear to be the most important factors to assess the fertilizing capability of sperm. Despite a low sperm count, many men with high-quality (viable and highly mobile) sperm, may still be fertile.

Chinese Herbs for Low Sperm Count

Approximately six percent of males between 15 and 50 struggle with infertility, and low sperm count is the leading cause of male infertility. Ninety percent of male infertility is caused by the failure to produce enough sperm. Most of the sperm are destroyed before ever reaching the egg so the more sperm there are the better the chances that one will successfully make it to the egg. Low sperm count can be temporary or permanent.
