Need to Abstain to Increase Sperm Count?
Question
Answer
Last Updated: November 21, 2021
The quality and quantity of sperm is ideal after one day of abstinence in a male with an infertility problem. The quality and quantity of sperm in a normal male is probably ideal after 7-10 days of abstinence. See the brief synopsis of the article Abstinence makes weak sperm grow stronger on the WebMD site, or review the original article in the June, 2007, issue of Fertility and Sterility.
