Infertility - How To Treat It In Men?

Male infertility is equally responsible for a couple s inability to conceive. The poor sperm quality, reduced number, erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation are all causes. In many cases, improving the quality of life with good food habits, exercise, reduced smoking, and alcohol abuse can lead to improved sex life and sperm quality. As a next step, counselling can help the couple understand the actual problem and work towards solution. A couple not able to have children should look at ruling out infertility from both the male and the female.

As noted above, male infertility could be due to any reason from the production of sperm to the quality of sex life. Where required, ED and premature ejaculation could be due to a couple s incompatibility issues and these can be sorted out through counselling. Hormonal issues can be sorted via supplements, either topical or systemic. In very rare cases, if there are blocked sperm tubes, then surgery can be done to release them. Male infertility is quite a common cause for a couple to conceive, though it may not be easily accepted.

Male infertility is not easily accepted as female infertility. However, it is equally common and accounts for 40% to 50% of infertility cases. The causes could be varied, and often a good counselling session could help. In others, hormonal supplements may be required. Very rare cases require surgical intervention. Even options like in vitro fertilization are available which can be used to help the couple conceive. Accepting male infertility is not easy, and once accepted, the solutions can be worked out easily with advances in Medicine

All the above including smoking, alcohol abuse reduce the sex drive. Though alcohol is known to reduce inhibitions, it reduces performance, and so fertility is affected. Smoking is a major cause of ED and poor sperm quality, and can lead to male infertility. STDs which are not treated promptly can lead to sterility as well. A healthy lifestyle including good nutrition and exercise has many benefits and a good sex life is one of them.
