I'm a 30-year-old and I'm curious about how I might be able to increase the Y chromosomes in my sperm. Can changing my diet help with this? Also, is there a way to test the Y chromosome levels in my sperm?

Increasing the number of Y chromosomes in sperm isn't something that can be directly influenced by food habits. The sex chromosomes in sperm are determined naturally during sperm production. While there's no specific test to check Y chromosomes in sperm, you can opt for sperm sorting methods like sperm sex selection, which is available in some fertility clinics. It's always best to consult a fertility specialist for personalized advice.
