Brief Answer:
Masturbation is completely normal.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

First of all,I would say that masturbation is completely normal when it is done in privacy without hurting genitals.It is just like 'self sex' which never causes weakness in the body.

For sperm count,you will need laboratory test for semen examination to measure it exactly or if you are talking about quantity of semen during ejaculation then I would clearly say it can not get reduced due to masturbation as I said earlier it is very much normal.

However, frequent masturbation in a day might lead to reduction in quantity of semen ejaculation because of depletion of semen store in seminal vesicles.The semen is restored within 24 hours.

I would advice you to take balanced diet and keep your self healthy and fit otherwise there is no medicine available which increases seminal fluid
(semen) in vesicles.

Hope you will understand now with this detailed explanation.

Regards,
