How to Increase Sperm Count: A Step-by-Step Guide
In short: To increase sperm count: (1) get a semen analysis, (2) remove the biggest harms like smoking, heat and steroids, (3) improve weight, sleep and exercise, (4) eat sperm-friendly foods, (5) consider traditional herbal support, and (6) see a specialist if results stay low. Expect changes over about three months.

A semen analysis measures count, motility and morphology. See our sperm count testing guide.
Step 2: Remove the Biggest Harms

- Avoid alcohol and drugs
Step 3: Fix the Lifestyle Basics

Step 4: Eat for Sperm Health

Step 5: Consider Traditional Support
Sperm Plus Tablets (19 Unani ingredients) or Fertivance (premium herbal safoof) provide daily herbal nutrition for reproductive wellness. Use consistently for several months.
The Unani sequence: Ibn Sina taught that care should begin with regimen (tadbeer), then diet (ghiza), and only then medicines (dawa). This guide follows the same order: fix the foundations first, then add support.
Step 6: See a Specialist If Needed
- Count remains low after 3 months of changes
- Zero sperm (azoospermia) on any test
- Pain, swelling or lumps
- Trying to conceive for 12 months without success
