Woman have always been blamed for infertility.
But Do you know that even men are responsible for the same.
As per some medical studies upto 40% cases of infertility are due to Male problems.
The most common causes of Male infertility are -
1. Erectile Dysfunction - inability to have a proper erection.
90% are due to untreated psychological problems for which males will never seek help of a professional psychiatrist.
2. Lack of Sex education - Performance anxiety, fear of sex, homosexuality are some of the topics which are never discussed with a male before marriage.
These account for a major reason where males are scared of performing sex.
3. Problems with the sexual organs - diabetes, hypertension, obesity, varicocele, spinal cord problems, old hurt to the genitals are all responsible for poor performing sexual organs.
4. Sperm quality and quantity -
a. Low sperm count. - man might produce enough semen, but semen might not have enough sperms.
medications, illicit drug use, alcohol use, excessive caffeine intake, smoking and testicular injury all contribute to a low sperm count.
b. Low sperm motility. - If a man’s sperm don’t move forward at a reasonable rate, you’re going to have a hard time conceiving.
c. Abnormal sperm. - When a man’s sperm aren’t developing correctly and have an abnormal shape, it will affect his fertility.
