Male Infertility – 5 Causes Of Male Infertility
The issue of male infertility has really only been taken seriously in the last couple of decades.This is not to suggest it wasn’t an issue in the past but there was an obvious misconception that infertility problems were simply the domain of women.
This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, women account for about 40% of infertility problems with the remainder attributed to male infertility and of course, unexplained fertility issues.
Male Infertility
As a woman, it’s important to keep in mind that if you suspect infertility in your life, then don’t immediately accept it as a given that it’s your problem. As a couple, you should be tackling this together and that means both of you need to check in with your doctor.
For men, one of the first courses of action is to have a semen analysis. This will usually follow an examination and is the first step in determining whether fertility issues are present.
Cause Of Male Infertility
There are several causes of male fertility issues but it’s not all bad news. In most instances, these can be rectified. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons which could have led to a male suffering fertility problems:
- Smoking can adversely affect a man’s sperm count. Research indicates it has an impact on the percentage of active sperm produced by a man.
- Drugs, either legal or illegal have been determined as having an effect on a man’s fertility. If you have taken drugs in the past then you need to tell your reproductive endocrinologist.
- Heat issues are often overlooked but need to be taken seriously. Excessive exercise that heats up the scrotum area can lower the quality and quantity of sperm. Similarly, avoid Jacuzzis and saunas which increase the body temperature.
- Consider nutrition intake as an important part of maintaining healthy sperm counts. Women are often recommended to maintain healthy eating habits because they are the ones who will hopefully carry the child. However, nutritional well being can combat male infertility. A diet rich in Vitamin C can help the man and general healthier eating habits can help the couple and their entire family
- Stress is an old enemy in many areas of life and can also impact fertility. A high level of stress has shown to affect male infertility. Ejaculating too frequently or too infrequently could cause low sperm quality. Infrequent ejaculation leads to old, low-motility sperm.
