Opening new horizons for understanding male fertility
The importance of men's health in fertility rates
Did you know...
About 7% of men suffer from infertility, and 50% of marital fertility problems are due to factors related to the man.
Below are some common health problems among men that affect fertility
Low sperm count: It is considered one of the main factors that contribute to male infertility. This condition, known as oligospermia, occurs when the concentration of sperm in the semen is below the level required to successfully fertilize an egg. Various factors, including genetics, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle choices and environmental factors, can contribute to low sperm count.
Poor sperm motility: Sperm motility refers to its ability to swim effectively towards the egg to fertilize it. Reduced sperm motility may hinder their ability to reach and penetrate the egg, which ultimately affects fertility. Sperm movement is also affected by other factors such as exposure to heat, obesity, smoking, and taking certain medications.
Abnormal sperm shape: The term morphology refers to the shape, size, and structure of sperm cells. Deformities in the shape of sperm may affect their ability to penetrate and fertilize an egg. While some degrees of abnormalities are common; However, severe deformities may impair fertility.
Erectile dysfunction: Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common condition characterized by difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection sufficient for sexual intercourse. This condition can affect fertility by impairing the ability to engage in sexual activity and deliver sperm into a woman’s reproductive system. Among the causes that lead to erectile dysfunction are problems with blood vessels, hormonal imbalances, psychological factors, and wrong lifestyle habits.
Varicocele: It is a swelling that affects the veins inside the scrotum, similar to varicose veins that affect the legs. Varicocele may disrupt the normal function of the testicle, impairing its ability to produce sperm and its quality. It is worth noting that some types of varicocele may not affect fertility, but others may require therapeutic intervention to improve reproductive results.
What are the causes of infertility in men?
When does a doctor's consultation become mandatory?

A proactive approach to diagnosis and treatment is extremely important when dealing with male infertility. A man may feel an urgent need to determine the cause of infertility and explore different options to restore the ability to reproduce.
Despite the challenges they face, men have the opportunity to receive support and empowerment throughout their infertility journey. Also, resorting to medical advice and communicating with your life partner freely and openly, all of these factors help the man obtain psychological support resources to deal with this sensitive situation. Ultimately, treating male infertility requires a comprehensive approach that takes into account the physical and psychological aspects of reproductive health.

Treating men's health problems to improve fertility
Fortunately, many health issues affecting male fertility can be treated through lifestyle modifications, medical interventions, and fertility treatments. Below we review some strategies to consider:
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle: Encouraging healthy habits such as regular exercise, a balanced diet rich in nutrients, adequate hydration, avoiding all types of smoking and excessive alcohol, and staying away from the use of stimulants and drugs. Maintaining a healthy weight and managing stress levels also contributes to supporting overall reproductive health.
Request a Medical Evaluation: If you are experiencing fertility challenges or have concerns about your reproductive health, do not hesitate to consult a health care provider who specializes in male fertility. A comprehensive evaluation, including a physical examination, semen analysis, hormonal tests, and imaging, can help identify underlying problems and guide treatment decisions.
Fertility treatments: Depending on the fertility issues identified on screening, different treatment options may be available to improve reproductive outcomes. These treatments may include assisted reproductive techniques (ART) such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF), as well as surgical interventions to address anatomical abnormalities or hormonal imbalances.
Supportive treatments: Some complementary treatments, such as acupuncture, herbal supplements and lifestyle modifications, may complement traditional fertility treatments and may support overall reproductive health. However, it is important to discuss these options with your healthcare provider to make sure they are safe and appropriate for your individual needs.
