Does Excessive Masturbation Hinder The Chance Of Fathering A Child?
Hi, me and my husband have been trying to conceive for 2 years (I have 3 children from prior relationships) my husband masturbates pretty much every night (unless were intimate) just wondering If that could be reducing his sperm count and what advice would you give

Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
Excessive masturbation may not affect fertility.The male body produces sperm at a very fast rate, so it is relatively easy for the body to replenish its sperm supply.Research suggests that men who have normal sperm quality maintain normal sperm motility and concentrations even with daily ejaculation.
Hope this will help
Best regards
