Causes for LOW sperm count:

Testicular Exposure to Overheating.
Overheating (such as from high fever, saunas, and hot tubs) may temporarily lower sperm count. Work exposure to overheating may even impair fertility.

Substance Abuse
Cocaine or heavy marijuana use appears to temporarily reduce the number and quality of sperm by as much as 50%. Sperm actually have receptors for certain compounds in marijuana that resemble natural substances and which may impair the sperm's ability to swim and may also inhibit their ability to penetrate the egg.

Smoking.
Smoking impairs sperm count, sperm motility, reduces sperm lifespan, and may cause genetic changes that affect the offspring. Additionally, a 1999 study found that men who smoke have lower sex drives and less frequent sex.

Malnutrition and Nutrient Deficiencies.
Deficiencies in certain nutrients, such as vitamin C, selenium, zinc, and folate, may be particular risk factors for low sperm count in such cases.

Obesity.
Some studies, but not all, have found an association between obesity in men and low sperm count.

Bicycling.
Bicycling has been linked to impotence in men and also may affect the sperm count. Pressure from the bike seat may damage blood vessels and nerves that are responsible for erections. Mountain biking, which involves riding on off-road terrain, exposes the perineum (the region between the scrotum and the anus) to more extreme shocks and vibrations and increases the risk for injuries to the scrotum.

Genetic Factors
Genetic factors are proving to be important contributors to male infertility. Such genetic conditions may be inherited or caused by environmental assaults. Inherited disorders can genetically impair fertility.

Environmental Assaults
Over exposure to environmental assaults (toxins, chemicals, infections) can reduce sperm count either by direct effects on testicular function or on the hormone systems, although the extent of the effect and specific environmental assaults involved are often controversial. Some chemicals that affect sperm production men are : Oxygen-Free Radicals, Estrogen emulation pesticidal chemicals (DDT, aldrin, dieldrin, PCPs, dioxins, and furans ), plastic softening chemicals like Phthalates, hydrocarbons (ethylbenzene, benzene, toluene, and xylene)

Exposure to Heavy Metals.
Chronic exposure to heavy metals such as lead, cadmium, or arsenic may affect sperm production and most often cause a reduced production in otherwise healthy males. Trace amounts of these metals in semen seem to inhibit the function of enzymes contained in the acrosome, the membrane that covers the head of the sperm.

Radiation Treatment.
Radiation treatments and x-rays affect any rapidly dividing cell, so cells that produce sperm are quite sensitive to radiation damage. Cells exposed to significant levels of radiation may take up to two years to resume normal sperm production, and, in severe circumstances, may never recover.

Low Semen Levels
A reduced amount of ejaculated semen (less than 0.5 milliliters per sample) may be caused by a structural abnormality in the tubes transporting the sperm.

Varicocele
A varicocele is a varicose vein in the cord that connects to the testicle. (A varicose vein is one that is abnormally enlarged and twisted.) Varicoceles are found in 15% to 20% of all men and in 25% to 40% of infertile men. It is not clear how they affect fertility, or even if they do at all.

1. Emotional Stress. Stress may interfere with the hormone GnRH and reduce sperm counts.

2. Sexual Issues. In less than 1% of males with infertility problems, a problem with sexual intercourse or technique will affect fertility.

3. Impotence, premature ejaculation, or psychologic or relationship problems can contribute to infertility, although these conditions are usually very treatable.

4. Lubricants used with condoms, including spermicides, oils, and Vaseline, can affect fertility. If you need a sperm friendly lubricant, the choice of many couples trying to get pregnant is Pre-Seed.

Substance Abuse
Obesity.

Testicular Exposure to Overheating.

The most common reason for a low sperm count is proabaly due to infectious disease called nongonococcal infection, excissive physical activity, malnutrition, severe mental and physical stress, and exposure to toxic subtances including heavy metals, drugs, radiotion and heavy smoking.

People do have different sperm count. Certain levels of chemicals, STDs and other diseases (untreated inflammations in the testicles), hormonal changes, temperature changes etc. could all play role in the lowering of sperm count

Too much sex. Low Testosterone. Lack of rest and sleep along with a lot of other things. It may just be naturally for the person you are talking about.

See a doctor and find out the REAL reason. Good luck. Pops

Due to many reasons.Impotency may be hereditary.Low sperm count may result no- pregnacy.But even from low count it is possible to have progeny.Infertlity clinics will give you directions.Normally due to illnes,infection /conditions of testicles,lack of nutritios food etc.Eating germinated seeds,Vitan E tablets,OTC medicicine Speman -forte,goose berries are supposed to increase spem counts.Good luck.
Avoid exposure to heat on testicles,do not wear too tight underwears,donot wash testicles with hot water.

Once infertility has been diagnosed, there are a number of treatment options available depending on the root cause of the problem. Learn here https://tr.im/HEPCQ

Infertility is a condition defined as not being able to become pregnant after at least one year of unprotected, regular, well-timed intercourse. Women who suffer from multiple miscarriages may also be diagnosed as infertile. Infertility may be classified into two groups, primary and secondary infertility.

Smoking is one reason that I've heard. "Smoking Mental flavored cig. is worse", don't know if that's true.

I think, mostly it's depend on the health of that person.
It's not mainly what you eat or drink. Lack of sleep, working too much could probably cause that too.

-tight jeans-boys closer to body thus increasing thier tempature
-men who bike often
-anything that increases the temperature of the boys
-drug use ( non legal drugs)
-smoking
