Hormones that influence in sperm production
Males begin to produce Sperm during Puberty. At this
time, the male hormone (Androgen) testosterone produced
by testes, stimulate the sperm production.
The pituitary gland releases FSH (follicle – stimulating
hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). These hormones
stimulate the testes to make Testosterone , the male sex
hormone.
The whole male body responds to testosterone. Hence
sushruta has said
"yatha payasi sarpistu goodashchekshow raso yatha
shareereshu tatha shukram nrinaam vidyaadhbishagwara"
This means " the shukra ( the element which helps in
reproduction) is present all over the body .
This can be explained with the following examples.
The ghee is present in
milk in an invisible form. This
is extracted from milk using many processes.
The sugar is present all over the
sugarcane. It is
extracted by subjecting the
sugarcane to number of
processes.
Same way shukra is present all over the body. But the
cream of shukra (semen) comes out of the body only
during the process of ejaculation. But this process of
ejaculation needs a joyful union of mind and body.
Hence the ayurveda therapy to
increase libido,
semen and
erection involves a step which rejuvenates and nourishes
the whole body and mind.
The testosterone produces secondary sexual
characteristics in male like deep voice, beard, body
hair etc.
The FSH and testosterone stimulate the
sperm production
and development.
