Low sperm count or motility as well as impotence can make it almost impossible to unite sperm and egg, but doctors can advise you on how to increase both levels. Prior surgery, including vasectomy reversal or chemotherapy can also cause problems with male reproduction. While some infertility causes need medical attention, others can be taken care of by altering your lifestyle. Changing your underwear, for example, can help sperm production.
