After a vasectomy reversal , it is important to be patient when trying to conceive, because it can take several months for sperm count to return to normal. However, there are some ways that you can quicken the process and promote a healthy sperm count after your procedure, which will allow you to get started on your family planning goals sooner. Below are some safe, natural remedies that are helpful in increasing sperm count once the vasectomy reversal is complete.

• Eat more fruits and vegetables: Your diet has a direct effect on your fertility, and you can focus on specific foods that offer key vitamins and minerals for improved sperm count. Zinc, vitamin C, and folic acid are all essential for male fertility , and these nutrients can be found in all types of fresh produce. You might also take a daily multivitamin to maintain a balance of proper nutrition, but you should discuss the use of such supplements with your doctor first.
   
• Maintain a healthy weight: Adding more nutritious foods to your diet should help you maintain an ideal weight, but you may need to add exercise to your routine as well. Excessive exercise should be avoided, because it can have an adverse effect on sperm count, but moderate aerobic and weightlifting activities will be helpful.
   
• Avoid tobacco and alcohol: Both alcohol and tobacco have been linked to reduced sperm count with regular use. Tobacco use should be stopped entirely, but you can still drink alcohol in moderation. Limit alcohol consumption to no more than one to two drinks a few times per week.
