It is believed that about a lot of couple faces
difficulties in conceiving. If you’ve been havingregular unprotected sex for more than 12 months

pregnant, you may begin to wonder if you have a
fertility problem. If you decide to seek medical help,
the best thing to do is see your doctor. Many
infertility problems can be pinpointed and the vast
majority treated.
Infertility may be due to a single cause in either you
or your partner, or a combination of factors that
may prevent a pregnancy from occurring or
continuing. Fortunately, there are many safe and
effective therapies for overcoming infertility. These
treatments significantly improve the chances of
getting someone pregnant.
The Main Causes of Male Infertility
Male infertility has many causes ranging from
hormonal imbalances, physical problems, to
psychological and behavioral problems. Moreover,
fertility reflects a man’s “overall” health. Men who
live a healthy lifestyle are more likely to produce
healthy sperm. The following list highlights some
lifestyle choices that negatively impact male
fertility. Note that it is not all-inclusive:
Smoking–significantly decreases both sperm
count and sperm cell motility.
Prolonged use of marijuana and other
recreational drugs.
Chronic alcohol abuse.
Anabolic steroid use–causes testicular
shrinkage and infertility.
Overly intense exercise–produces high levels
of adrenal steroid hormones which cause a
testosterone deficiency resulting in infertility.
Inadequate vitamin C and Zinc in the diet.
Tight underwear–increases scrotal
temperature which results in decreased
sperm production.
Exposure to environmental hazards and toxins
such as pesticides, lead, paint, radiation,
radioactive substances, mercury, benzene,
boron, and heavy metals
Malnutrition and anemia.
Excessive stress!
Modifying these behaviors can improve a man’s
fertility and should be considered when a couple is
trying to achieve pregnancy. It is advisable that we
all regularly see a doctor to evaluate our sexual
health. This will allow you to discharge
deterioration quickly and tackle head-on.
