Fertility is a couple’s issue, not a women-only concern. Unfortunately, male fertility is often overlooked or avoided due to stigma. From a medical perspective, this delay can significantly affect treatment success.
Understanding Male Fertility
Male fertility depends on:
-
Adequate sperm count
-
Healthy sperm movement (motility)
-
Normal sperm shape (morphology)
-
Proper hormonal balance
Issues in any of these areas can affect conception.
Factors That Affect Male Fertility
-
Smoking, alcohol, and drug use
-
Obesity and poor diet
-
Chronic illnesses (e.g., diabetes)
-
Untreated infections
-
Exposure to heat or chemicals
Why Men Should Be Tested Early
A simple semen analysis can provide valuable information early in the fertility journey. Testing early saves time, reduces emotional stress, and guides appropriate treatment.
