One of the biggest issues for couples is not being able to conceive a child. In men, the problem in reproduction can be triggered by several factors which you may never know possible. It is very important to understand this causes of infertility in men to help avoid sperm reduction.
There are various known causes of male infertility. This includes physical factors (damage sperm ducts, torsion, infections, diseases, variocoele), psychological factors (premature ejaculation, ejaculatory incompetence, erectile dysfunction), hormonal disorders (hypothyroidism, hyperprolactinemia, hypogonadotropic hypopituitarism, panhypopituitafism) and genetic disorders. But did you know that there are natural factors that are considered sperm killers? Let me enumerate it one by one.
Smoking
This bad habit can significantly decrease both sperm count and cell motility which results to sexual function impairment. If you are having trouble of reproduction, avoid smoking and other bad vices like marijuana and too much alcohol consumption.
Use of anabolic steroids
Researchers recommend that the use of anabolic steroids may cause sperm reduction and it can be in long term effect. Steroid use causes hypogonadism which the testes stops sperm production. The effects however are reversible.
Over exercise
Too much or ill-advised intense workout can lead to sperm production problem. When a man pushes his body to work harder, it produces high levels of adrenal steroid hormones which results to testosterone deficiency.
Tight-underwear
Who would have thought that supporters can cause infertility? Tightness in the male organ area creates a scrotal temperature which leads to the decrease in sperm production.
Environmental hazards
Toxins and environmental wastes are long known for its fertility effects in men. This includes pesticides, lead, paint, radioactive materials and radiation waves. Recent research suggests the following substances to have adverse effect in fertility of men - mercury, benzene, boron and other toxic metals.
Hot tubs and saunas
Like tight underwear, hot tubs and sauna baths cause the body temperature to erupt especially to the testes area. This will result in sperm reduction which leads to infertility. So avoid or moderate the use of hot tubs and sauna spas to prevent infertility.
Stress
An over-stressed body can cause several hormonal shifts in the body that definitely affects fertility. This can be caused by many factors including anxiety over fertility issues.
Obesity
Overweight men have shown to have decreased testicular function and significantly lower sperm counts than normal and fit men. Obesity can also cause infertility problems in women.
Fever
Any types of disease that caused high-fever can affect the sperm production process which leads to temporary infertility. So make sure that your partner had never been sick with a fever for a couple of months before you get into action of producing a child.
Malnutrition
Malnutrition especially the lack of vitamin C and zinc can cause low sperm quality. Zing and vitamin C ensures the proper production and development of sperm cells so make sure that you properly eat healthy foods for your fertility.
This natural factors are clinically proven to cause low sperm production and should be avoided at all cost. If you are still having trouble with your fertility, consult your doctor immediately for proper diagnosis and treatment.
