Male Infertility in America

One in every five American couples seeks infertility care and even a higher percentage of men are deemed infertile. Infertility might not be regarded as big as the major diseases like cancer but is also difficult to treat due to the anonymity of those affected. Men are expected to start a family and along with his wife, build the foundation for a home. It is because of this that after they reach a certain age, men want to settle down and have children. Those who cannot feel that society shuns them and alienate themselves and due to embarrassment refuse to seek medical attention. What these males need to understand is that they are not alone and that more than 20% of American couples seek medical attention due to this problem. In such cases help from a Urologist New York is necessary.

Surprisingly, only half of couples who are trying to become pregnant achieve pregnancy easily and about one in ten American couples of reproductive age are involuntary infertile, male infertility accounts for half of these cases. Infertility has always been a prevailing problem but despite this, infertility evaluations are done more on women because they tend to seek gynecological care while men are reluctant to visit a Urology doctor New York.

Causes

The actual cause of infertility in men is unknown but there are a variety of factors that influence heavily. It ranges from hormonal imbalances, to physical problems, to psychological and/or behavioral problems. In essence, fertility is a reflection of a man’s health. Men who lead a healthy lifestyle are more likely to produce healthy sperm. The following are proven to be causes of male infertility.

·         Recreational Drug Use
·         Smoking- Smoking cigarettes significantly decreases sperm count
·         Chronic alcohol abuse
·         Excessive stress
·         Intense exercise can produce high levels of adrenal steroid hormones which cause a               testosterone deficiency
·         Tight underwear can increase scrotal temperature which can cause a reduction in sperm         count.

Those are the most common causes for infertility in men and modifying these behaviors can improve a man’s fertility. Unfortunately, once a man is diagnosed as infertile it is only through treatment and therapy can a man increase his possibilities. There is no cure but treatment is proven to help in most cases.
