Male Infertility Linked to Half of Conception Problems
Almost half of the problems people have when trying to have a baby are because of issues with the man's fertility.
This can be because of low sperm count, poor sperm movement, or abnormal sperm shape.
Things like stress, smoking, drinking alcohol, and not being active can make these problems worse.
Doctors say it's important for both men and women to get checked early if they are having trouble getting pregnant.
Making healthy changes can help improve sperm health and increase the chances of having a baby.
Male infertility contributes to 40-50% of conception difficulties, either alone or alongside female-related issues.
Common causes include low sperm count, poor motility, and abnormal morphology, often linked to lifestyle factors and delayed family planning.
Lifestyle factors such as stress, poor sleep, smoking, alcohol consumption, obesity, prolonged sitting, and heat exposure negatively impact sperm health.
Medical conditions like hormonal imbalances, diabetes, thyroid disorders, infections, and varicoceles also contribute to male infertility.
Early evaluation and lifestyle changes can improve sperm health and increase the chances of successful conception.
