Infertility affects about one in every 6 couples trying to achieve a pregnancy. It is estimated that one in every 3 cases is due to fertility problems in the male partner. Based on the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines, a healthy sperm count is around 15 million sperm per milliliter or at least 39 million per ejaculation. Doctors believe testosterone levels have the most significant impact on sperm number and quality. However, certain inherited medical conditions, infections, and tumors can also impact sperm count. Research shows that sperm counts have dropped at least 53% between 1972 and 2011. Scientists have not identified the causes of this decline, although some Scandinavian research suggested that consuming food or drink stored in plastics may be a factor. Sperm count is important because if you do not have enough sperm, there is less chance that the sperm will reach the egg for fertilization.
