Are you low on ejaculation? See how to increase sperm volume
The lack of adequate sperm production is nothing new. In fact, it's a pretty common occurrence.
But first, what is sperm? What is the difference between semen and sperm?
Semen and sperm are very confusing terms but there is a simple difference. Semen is a viscous, liquid substance produced in the testes. It is mainly composed of seminal fluid and prostatic fluid, which contain the sperm that are also called sperm.
Seminal fluid is present in large amounts, in the order of 65%. There are other substances in small amounts found in the company of sperm, some being enzymes, proteins, minerals and sugars.
It is important to say that the amount of semen is influenced by the production of testosterone. Younger men have higher levels of testosterone and produce more semen than those who are older and have lower levels of this hormone.
With age, testosterone production drops dramatically. But this is part of life, and all men go through it, it's not something to be ashamed of.
However, know that testosterone is an important hormone, especially for those who care about their quality of life. When the level drops under abnormal conditions, the following effects are noticed:
- Loss of self-confidence;
- Difficulty feeling sexual desire or even having sex
- Feeling of weakness;
- Changes in mood.
How to produce more semen?
One of the most valuable tips is to drink water. Hydration is a crucial factor. It allows you to effectively increase sperm production thanks to the increase in seminal fluid.
Men who drink less than 1.5 liters of water a day may experience significant changes in semen volume. So try to hydrate yourself more!
The second tip is in relation to the frequency of ejaculations. It is obvious that when ejaculating every day there is a drop in the amount of semen. By having sex 2 to 3 times a week, it induces the body to stock up and therefore the amount of semen will be increased.
How to increase testosterone naturally?
To increase testosterone levels naturally, it is important to pay attention to your diet. The more balanced the diet, the greater the production of testosterone in the body and, consequently, the volume of semen increases.
It is recommended to avoid eating fatty foods, fast foods, too sweet or salty. If you want to eat these foods, consume them in moderation.
In terms of drinks, limit the consumption of soft drinks and alcohol. Drink plenty of water and prefer homemade fruit juices.
Foods that help maintain normal testosterone level as well as semen volume are:
- citrus fruits
- watermelon
- Sources of zinc like oysters
- Garlic
These foods are recommended for promoting good blood circulation, especially in the genitals and contributing to the natural production of testosterone. Of course, in case of severe deficiency, it is advisable to see a specialist doctor, who may recommend hormone replacement.
