This requires the adequate release of testosterone, as well as other hormones such as luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone. That sperm has to be able to mix with semen and pass through the tubes of the vas deferens without obstruction. He must produce a sufficient amount of sperm to have a significant chance of conception. The lower a man's sperm count is, the harder it will … Read more »
