Question
sir, one lemon juice with one glass water 2 or 3 times will be useful or any way harmful for male and female?It is read that lemon juice can kill sperm..and we are trying for conceving..(I fell comfortable after taking one lemon with water some time in mild BP occ. due to mistake in taking heavy tea or Mild tobacco)--age 45 weight 95 kg

Answer
Mr Pak,
I assume you are asking whether drinking lemon water will have an effect on fertility.  Lemon juice used as a douche to help prevent pregnancy is a folk remedy that probably does not work.  But drinking lemon with water is unlikely to have such an effect.
