Reasons for Infertility in Men
Most people are simply unaware that around 35-40% of all infertility
problems are because of the male. It’s almost instantly assumed that
the female must be having some kind of problems.
Yet male infertility is almost as high as female infertility. Some of the
common causes of male infertility are widely recognized, such as low
sperm count, but there are others that aren’t quite so well-known.
Low Sperm Count
Low sperm count or poor sperm mobility can cause infertility. There
are many biological and environmental factors that can cause a low
sperm count.
Age is a factor in sperm production, with a 60% fertilization rate
evident in men younger than 39, but only a 30% fertilization rate for
men older than 40.
However, factors such as stress, impotence and premature ejaculation
can reduce sperm counts as well. In these cases, it could be wise to
work on ways to reduce stress levels and work on the mental and
emotion causes behind impotence and premature ejaculation before
considering medical treatments.
Substance abuse and smoking are well known to both impair sperm
count and reduce mobility drastically. It’s also been proven that men
who smoke have far lower sex drives, so have sex less frequently.
