Male Fertility

Good health is essential for both the man and the woman if the intention is to conceive a child. If after one year in an active sexual relationship conception hasn’t been achieved, it may be because one of you is infertile.

There used to be a belief that this was a woman’s problem but in fact 35% of the cases are due to male infertility. This could be caused by a number of factors but the most common is a low sperm count. Abnormal sperm which is malformed or weak with a short life span is another cause.

General Health.

This may be a major cause and it may be useful to go through your pattern of life style and honestly analyse your diet, exercise and any bad habits like smoking or recreational drugs. Alcohol and marijuana stand at the top of the list in causing male infertility. Smoking drastically decreases the sperm count and the healthy condition of the sperm.

Medical History

Some diseases can have long term affects on healthy sperm production as well as sexually transmitted deseases like gonorrhea. Some prescribed drugs given as medications are also contributing factors. Chemotherapy and radiation treatments have well known affects on fertility but there are lots of other seemingly harmless prescription drugs that can have devastating effects on sperm count. Anabolic steroids being one of them.

Heat has an effect on sperm count too. The reason the testicles are on the outside of the body is because normal body temperature is too high for sperm production. Having a bath or hot tub or sauna before sexual intercourse would be in there with short term affects. If you and your partner are planning a family make sure you are cool beforehand. Even sitting in a hot vehicle on a sunny day in crawling traffic can have an effect.

Take the Cure

Most of these problems or causes can be remedied. A healthy diet is something to consider and rectify if you want that sperm to work. Taking some exercise on a daily basis has huge benefits to the cardiovascular system and a healthy body will convert to a healthy, potent sperm count.

Research on food packaging also came up with a report on polythene film. The clear wrapping used on just about everything was shown to have some detrimental effects on sperm count.
