According to some estimates, every fifth couple trying to conceive a child is unable to do so. In half the cases the man is to blame. Male infertility has become a serious problem around the world. A healthy man releases between 120 and 600 million sperm in approximately three milliliters of semen with each ejaculation. But it is not so much their quantity that is important, but their quality. Spermatozoa are very vulnerable.
There are many factors that can harm sperm:
-
Smoking and alcohol sharply reduce sperm activity.
-
Anabolic steroids, antibiotics and other drugs affect a man's sperm.
-
A lack of vitamin C and zinc negatively affects sperm motility.
-
Various diseases, especially of the genitourinary area, can significantly deteriorate the quality of sperm.
-
Tight briefs and jeans are a common cause of male infertility.
-
Frequent visits to baths and saunas are detrimental to sperm.
-
Excessive sports activities reduce testosterone levels.
-
Impaired patency of the vas deferens.
-
Some autoimmune diseases.
-
Genetic disorders in sperm DNA.
-
Exposure to pesticides.
As you can see, there are many reasons for male infertility. But it is important to remember that in many cases this problem can be dealt with. A correct lifestyle and health-saving behavior are the key to full male fertility and family happiness. And of course, don’t forget about choosing the right underwear!
