Infertility is often considered a problem of women, but this notion is completely wrong. Recently, a rapid increase has been observed in cases of infertility in men as well. According to experts, in 20% of the cases, men are solely responsible, while in 30-40% of the cases, men also contribute. For this reason, now even men of 30-40 years of age have become cautious about their sperm health and are getting semen analysis done in large numbers.

Fertility experts believe that factors such as environmental influences, poor lifestyle and mental stress are mainly responsible for this increasing awareness. Decrease in sperm quality in men reduces the chances of pregnancy and even increases the risk of miscarriage.

Why is men's fertility decreasing?

Fertility specialist Dr. Sankar Patil says that the main reasons behind infertility in men are low sperm count, poor motility and abnormal morphology. Recent research has found that the main reason for the decline in men's sperm quality in the last few decades is stress, pollution and unhealthy lifestyle.

What are the reasons behind decreasing fertility?

Smoking and alcohol consumption, obesity, mental stress and increasing age affect the quality of sperm.

Pollution and toxins are also responsible

Doctors say that environmental pollutants are also affecting male fertility. Heavy metals, pesticides, industrial chemicals and endocrine disruptor chemicals (EDCs) present in plastics harm sperm health.

Why are men getting semen analysis done?

Now most men are getting their fertility evaluated by getting semen analysis done. It is a simple, non-invasive test that analyzes the quantity, motility, size and DNA quality of sperm. This semen analysis has many benefits, such as-

* Early detection of the problem: The decline in sperm quality is detected in time, which makes proper treatment possible.

* Effective treatment: If any abnormality is found in the test, the doctor can recommend lifestyle changes, medicines or assisted reproductive techniques like IUI and IVF.

* Success in conceiving: Semen test helps men to correctly assess their fertility and get treatment in the right direction.
