What about children? It has been shown that 40 to 50% of couples with male infertility has a factor, which is a quality problem, or the amount of movement (also known as motility) sperm. Low sperm count, infections, erectile dysfunction and other health problems should be evaluated by a doctor of early fertility work up to identify and correct simple problems or identify more serious problems. What is certain though is that the male factor can significantly affect couples make decisions about family planning.
If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for six months or more without success, you both have to be fully evaluated to determine if and where there are problems. If you and your partner have had several miscarriages or already failed in vitro fertilization cycles (IVF), the problem may be related male.
The failure of implantation (the normal growth of the placenta in early pregnancy) can result in poor form of quality embryo, as a genetic problem. When fertilization occurs when the egg is combined with sperm from the male partner. Different sizes sperm DNA and the need to reduce swelling and to match the DNA egg. When this process is successful, it can form an embryo. If there is a problem with the DNA of an egg or embryo sperm DNA that results can fail, causing the failure of implantation or early miscarriage. (1).
The following is a list of factors the "Top 10", which may affect male fertility.
# 1 - Do you smoke? Or use smokeless tobacco?
We all know that smoking and chewing snuff is unhealthy for a variety of reasons. Now here's one more! These products contain nicotine and other harmful substances. Smoking causes vasoconstrictriction makes smaller blood vessels. This can reduce the amount of blood flow to vital organs and reduce the amount of oxygen and nutrients delivered to them. The suspension of these products can improve factors in only three months.
# 2 - How much alcohol you drink in a week?
Be honest. More than 3-5 drinks per week can be unhealthy, especially if you are trying to have a baby. Excessive alcohol consumption can also be unhealthy, which is more than 5 drinks in one day. This may not seem like much but can be considered drunkenness and alcohol abuse can be a sign of depression. If you are concerned about the amount of alcohol you drink, please speak frankly with your health care provider.
# 3 - Are you overweight?
With health status known to be overweight (risk of high blood pressure, heart disease or stroke) overweight can also affect the risk of sperm production. The adipose tissue (fat) can store excessive amounts of the female hormone estrogen. This hormone may be responsible for hormonal imbalances that cause a decrease in testosterone production, primary male hormone required for sperm production. Excessive amounts of estrogen may give the appearance of man boobs and also interfere with the phase required for the erection and arousal ejaculation. If you have concerns about these issues, be sure to discuss with your doctor.

# 6 - Have you had a fever or illness in the last three months?
For a sperm cell to be mature enough to fertilize an egg takes about three months to develop. Fever or illness can affect the development of recent semen. In addition, drugs such as antibiotics can interfere with sperm production. Tell your doctor about all medications you have taken in the last three months, including OTC drugs.
# 7 - What is your profession?
Some jobs, by their nature, can affect the potential fertility. If you are exposed to chemicals or toxins on a regular basis, you may need a diagnostic study on male fertility with further analysis to see if these chemicals or toxins have affected the DNA of their sperm. Avoid exposure to known toxins would be important when you are trying to have a baby. Prolonged sitting or jobs that generate a lot of body heat can make the groin area to be subjected to higher temperatures and potentially detrimental to the development of sperm. The scrotum is designed to keep protected testicles extremely hot or cold temperatures, allowing the testicles can be moved closer or further from the body depending on the temperature.
