Many people think that infertility is a problem only for women. This is not entirely the case, and that nearly 30% of couples who have trouble conceiving are due to male infertility. The other 30% is due to infertility in women and 40% is unexplained, but attributed to a combination of many factors related to male and female.
Basically, the process of the fertility of a man in relation to sperm production and sperm mature and healthy deposited where it can fertilize an egg. There are many causes of male infertility, but these are the most common:
Low sperm count
This is the most common cause of male infertility. Normally sperm count should be greater than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen according to the World Health Organization in 2010; Having less, it means that the man is infertile and have a hard time impregnate a woman.
Affected men do not know about this problem until a test is done because there are no symptoms of this condition. Low sperm count can be an adverse effect of smoking due to toxins in cigarettes. Excessive drinking can also cause this problem.
The absence of ejaculation
Many men are infertile because they can not ejaculate. Some men can not ejaculate during stressful or demanding situations, but in general can ejaculate in other circumstances.
However, other men can not ejaculate completely. The cause is still unknown, but most reproductive experts believe it is only a psychological problem. This problem is not as common as other causes of male infertility.
abnormal sperm
Some men do not produce malformed sperm. There are certain types of abnormal sperm have very low mobility so those sperm have difficulty reaching the egg. Some sperm have abnormal shape that is difficult and almost impossible to penetrate and fertilize an egg.
The cause of abnormal sperm is usually genetic in nature and is transmitted from one generation to the next, but the abuse of alcohol and drugs can also cause this problem. Abnormal sperm is one of the main causes of male infertility.
The temperature of the scrotum prolonged high
When a man is sitting for a long period of time, scrotal temperature increases the mobility of sperm remarkably affected. This is the reason that drivers have a more difficult design. Underwear and tight pants also causes elevated scrotal temperature the testes are closer to the body. A physiological condition in which the veins in the scrotum are enlarged area can also increase scrotal temperature.
Obstruction of the sperm ducts
Some men have sperm ducts are damaged or completely blocked so the sperm can not reach the egg of the couple. This can be a congenital disease, but may also be caused by infection or trauma to the region. For infection, medication can take care of this, but for the injury or congenital obstruction surgery is the only option to correct the problem.
Athelstan Eades was written commentary on a wide variety of topics for many years. His latest project was to examine the market for pregnancy. There are so many products out there that claim to cure infertility but do they really work.
