When struggling with infertility, some couples discover that their problems, in part, are due to decreased sperm motility (the ability to move) or a low sperm count. Since many couples prefer to seek natural remedies before turning to more invasive medical procedures, it can be a relief to learn that sometimes the key to increasing sperm count can be as simple as making a few lifestyle changes.

Contraceptive gels are also called vaginal spermicides. They are placed inside the vagina and damage sperm during and following sexual ejaculation. According to the Mayo Clinic, they are not as effective alone as they are when combined with additional birth control methods. Though the use of contraceptive gels is convenient, some side effects may occur.
