The production of sperm can be disrupted with a rise in temperature. [16] Thermal methods involve heating the testicles so that sperm production is slowed down. The spermatozoa are thus produced at a slightly lower temperature than that of the body, 1 to 2 °C below 37 °C. The cremaster muscle covers the testicles. It works involuntarily.
The practice of tucking can reduce both the sperm count and sperm quality. [41] Meta-analysis indicates that mobile phone exposure affects sperm quality negatively. [42] Regarding diet, malnutrition or an unhealthy diet can lead to e.g. Zinc deficiency, lowering sperm quality. Sperm quality is better in the afternoon than in the morning. [43]
Exposure in the range of 0.1 to1.2 Gy is associated with spermatogonial injury; whereas between 4-6 Gy reductions of sperm counts have been reported. [37] Ionizing radiation is considered a hazard particularly in pregnancy, due to its potential impact of gestational development. [36]
Hims reports that the respondents who used their phone more than 20 times per day had a 30% increased risk for lower sperm concentration and 21% increased risk for total sperm count to be below ...
Sperm count is determined with a simple test called a semen analysis that looks at sperm concentration, or how many sperm there are per milliliter of fluid. There should be about 100,000,000 sperm ...

According to one lab test manual normal pH range is 7.2–8.2; [6] WHO criteria specify normal as 7.2–7.8. [5] Acidic ejaculate (lower pH value) may indicate one or both of the seminal vesicles are blocked. A basic ejaculate (higher pH value) may indicate an infection. [5]
The volume of the semen sample (must be more than 1.5 ml), approximate number of total sperm cells, sperm motility/forward progression, and % of sperm with normal morphology are measured. It is possible to have hyperspermia (high volume more than 6 ml) or Hypospermia (low volume less than 0.5 ml).
