The body has a sophisticated system in place to quickly replenish the supply of sperm, even if some are lost during intimate activity. The testes are responsible for spermatogenesis, the process by which sperm are created.
According to healthline the first step in the creation of mature sperm is the division of specialized cells called spermatogonia in the walls of the seminiferous tubules within the testes. Spermatogonia, the parent cells of germ cells, divide to generate new spermatocytes. Meiosis is the process by which diploid primary spermatocytes are converted into haploid haploid spermatocytes. These third-stage spermatocytes undergo meiosis to generate spermatids.
When we talk about "spermiogenesis," we're referring to the metamorphosis of spermatids into motile spèrm that can swim. At this stage, the sperm's head, body, and tail are constructed, as well as the acrosome, which contains the enzymes necessary for fertilization.
The duration of spermatogenesis, however approximately 74 days, can vary widely across individuals.
A man's ability to make sperm begins at adolescence and continues far into old life. Naturally, spèrm production decreases with age, although it does not stop completely. Hormonal fluctuations, certain disorders, lifestyle decisions, and environmental factors can all have an impact on spèrm production and quality.
The number of sperm in a man's testicles does not immediately drop following sexual activity or urination. Mature sperm are stored in the epididymis, a coiled tube at the back of each testicle. It is conceivable for spèrm to be released even shortly after making intimate contact because these sperm can be created with successive discharges.
After a man ejaculates, it might take up to 74 days for his body to produce new sperm. You should put your health first and see a doctor if you have concerns about your fertility or sperm count.
