What Factors Affect The Sperm Count?
My husband had a vasectomy reversal 5/09/11 and we just had a S/A done today with the Dr. saying he didn't see a thing. I've heard there are many factors affecting sperm count and even though it might be zero now it could still change. I'm just looking for some hope.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM....
You have done operation for recanalization .
Here sperm might zero if operation fails and recanalization not proper ....
So first it should be ruled out....
Factors that can affect sperm count are.....
-smoking
-alcohol
-varicocele
-mump orchitis after puberty
-diabetis
-thyroid problem
-undernutrition
-stress
-drugs like anabolic steroid, antihypertensive etc....
So keep away from stress , smoking etc.
Healthy and balanced diet taken ..
Discuss all this with your treating doc.
Take care.
