Causes of Male Infertility     

Emotional factors can do a lot to make a person infertile.  A person under mental stress can have abnormal eating and sleeping habits.   Since his physical capability is directly affected by his mental capacities, naturally the function of his body can only perform according to the dictates of his stressed out mental faculties. Even when a person has a quality sperm and considered fertile, he can still be infertile because of stress.

A person under mental stress will be unable to have a proper erection during sex.  In most cases, a person can actually have no erection at all if the problem that would cause his mental stress is too much for him to bear.  If a person is always under stress because of his job, there is also the possibility that his .sperm count can be affected negatively or even the quality or forms of his sperm cells.

For your information please take note that a person can have a low sperm count with either quality or deformed sperms which in both cases are considered infertile due to low count.  While a person with quality sperm will mean having a high sperm count with good sperm forms. For a person to have quality sperms, what are needed are proper rest, good diet and proper exercise.  And since a person who is always under stress due to his job cannot eat properly and even have a proper rest, chances are that the quality of his health and also his sperms will be negatively affected

Another thing that would tend to aggravate matters when it comes to this problem is the possibilities that since the person under stress cannot already perform his task at sex due to his incapacity in having an erection, this fact would add even more to his problem at hand.   Some people, to alleviate this condition would tend to remedy their stress or depression by means of anti depressant medication.  However, please be informed that prescription anti-depressant drugs can result to sterility, a condition where you are permanently unable to have children of your own.  So, be careful.

Now, aside from stress, other forms or causes of infertility are unhealthy habits like taking drugs, excessive smoking and too much alcohol intake.  Smoking and alcohol is very unhealthy to the body.  These are toxins that damage your vital organs.  It is very important that for a person to have a healthy body and healthy sperm cells, smoking, drugs and alcohol should be thrown out of his life. 

Improper food intake can lead to obesity and infertility.  A person who is not careful with his diet can be obese because of too much calorie intake from foods that he eats.  An obese person will have fats in nearly all parts of his body more specifically on his belly portion.  These fats would tend to cover even the base of his penis that would make him unable to have a proper penetration during sex to deliver his sperm cells to the organ of his female partner.  Aside from this, it is said that an obese person tend to lose desire for sex which would also explain why most obese persons do not have children of their own.  However, there are also obese persons whom I know with children of their own. What I know about them is that their obesity started only after they have children.  After which, they were not already able to have children.  

A place that gives off heat to the body also causes your sperm cells to be destroyed.  A good example is saunas.  Saunas are good for the body to loose excess fats through sweating.  It is also good to relax tired muscles after workouts.  The drawback with saunas however, is that it is bad for your sperm cells due to the heat that it gives off to the body.  The heat that your body absorbs to make you sweat also affects those sperms inside your hanging testicles.  If your body fats can be melted by the sauna heat just think what sauna heat can do to your sperm cells.
