Patient's question:
My husband uses withdrawal during intercourse to save sperm for having a baby boy. How often should he ejaculate to maintain the best quality of sperm?Doctor's answer:
The male reproductive system requires a significant amount of zinc, which is involved in the entire process of sperm production, maturation, and capacitation. If men lack zinc, it can lead to a substantial decrease in sperm count, reduced sperm motility, and poor semen liquefaction. Long-term zinc deficiency can result in male infertility. Therefore, supplementing with zinc is beneficial for sperm production, and it is also recommended to quit smoking and drinking, maintain a regular sleep and diet schedule, and avoid prolonged exposure to high temperatures.
