Male Infertility Causes/How to Increase Fertility

Posted by Linker on Tuesday, 12 April, 2011

Male infertility causes can be as varied as the individual himself. It is because most of these may be brought about by in-born diseases and lifestyle choices. Nonetheless, these causes can be determined properly by the doctor. Here are some of such causes:

1.Varicocele – a condition wherein the veins in the scrotum are enlarged
2.Sperm abnormalities – low sperm count, poor motility or movement, abnormal shape and/or size or absence
3.Sperm delivery problems – consequently caused by sexual dysfunction, blockage in the duct or due a previous vasectomy
4.Erection and ejaculation problems – these may be prompted by diseases that have damaged the nerves connected to the organs performing such functions, which include diabetic neuropathy and autoimmune diseases.

The risk of male infertility could also be increased due to other factors such as:
-age
-stress
-exposure of the testicular area to heat
-excessive use of drugs, alcohol, caffeinated drinks and tobacco
-poor sexual habits
-poor nutrition
-weight problems especially obesity

Once the cause of your infertility has been properly diagnosed, the measures on how to increase fertility could be administered. Most of the time, doctors initially suggest modifying one’s lifestyle choices. This could be through proper eating, exercising, hydration, sleeping and regular sex.

By properly hydrating your body alone, it could improve the volume and functioning of your sperm. This is because sperm is about 98% water. Lack of water in your body could cause lumpy semen, which is unfit to get your partner pregnant.

With these simple measures at hand, you could surely have better chances at reproducing properly.
