      Does the frequency of sex affect fertility? ? The frequency of sexual intercourse does have a certain impact on fertility. Like being a man sperm When the count is too low, sexual intercourse is too frequent, and the sperm count will be lower, which will of course affect the chance of fertility.

      Relevant research shows that when the abstinence period is less than 12 hours, the semen volume and sperm density will be reduced by more than half than usual.; If the abstinence period reaches 24 hours, sperm reserves will increase rapidly. Someone has done a survey and found that people who have sex once a day male , the sperm count dropped by 70%, 60% and 50% respectively on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th day. It can be seen that men with low sperm count should appropriately reduce the frequency of sex to increase the chance of conception.

      However, men with sufficient sperm count and poor motility should increase the frequency of sex appropriately. Because sperm stored in the body for too long will age, their motility will weaken, and dead sperm will increase. If sperm is discharged frequently, the survival rate of sperm will be relatively improved, thereby improving fertility. 》》》 Two major symptoms of premature ovarian failure   

      Some doctors require men with infertility to only have female It is obviously inappropriate to have sex only once on the day of ovulation, as it is not conducive to conception or eugenics. Because some men usually suppress their sexual desire too much and are eager for success on the day of ovulation, but cannot achieve an erection. This shows that it is still important to have moderate sexual frequency and let nature take its course.
