Low testosterone levels and changes in male genital development while in the womb are some factors that contribute to low sperm count in men.    According to the author of the book Countdown: How Our Modern World Is Threatening Sperm Counts, Altering Male and Female Reproductive Development, and Imperiling the Future of the Human Race, the two factors mentioned above have to be examined critically.    For men, the production of sperm within the male reproductive system requires some testes and testosterone. When this level is not reached within the man's body, it leads to low sperm count in men.    "Levels of testosterone have been reported to be declining during the same period that the sperm production rates were measured in this meta-analysis," the scientist explained.    Mothers are also involved in the issue of low sperm count among males. According to experts, what a pregnant mother is exposed to can seriously contribute to infertility. The environment a pregnant woman stays in matters a lot. The same thing also applies to the food they eat and what they drink. Pregnant women who eat harmful substances and abuse drugs during pregnancy can contribute to their male offspring having a low sperm count.    Men who abuse drugs such as smoking and have a large intake of alcohol also have a higher tendency to have a low sperm count. Reducing the abuse of hard drugs and harmful substances can help men with low sperm count.    In addition, men and women experiencing reproductive issues can take certain measures to reduce its effects. Having a good diet which one must follow, drinking healthy substances, exercising regularly, and keeping a healthy body weight might be of help.
