Male Infertility - Its Causes

There are many married couples who, after marriage, will practice birth control so that they can delay having children while they are saving for the future.  When they have already earned a lot of money through diligent saving for their future child, and were now trying their very best to have their first child, they have come to discover one hard fact: that the husband is infertile and does not have the capacity to impregnate his wife.    

If a couple is infertile, the cause can be either with the husband or the wife.  While infertility can be cured through medication and proper lifestyle, sterility on the other hand is incurable. A sterile person cannot have the capacity to produce a child permanently.  Actually, when a person is considered infertile, problems such as low sperm count or the quality of his sperm can be the problem which through medication and rest and proper diet can be cured.

There are of course several reasons why a man can be infertile. In most cases, these are temporary situations since with proper medication an infertile can be made to be fertile again. Too much alcohol intake can make a person infertile.  Toxic substances in chemicals even in the prescription drugs which are chemically processed can also make a person infertile.

Since stress can also cause infertility in men, it should be pointed out that there is nothing to worry about for men to be infertile since this is just a temporary thing and can be readily cured. To be very worried with your situation will only aggravate the matter of his stress, in the first place. If you are under stress because of your condition please take heed not to take any depressant medication since depressant medication has just been verified to cause impotency in men.  So, watch out.

You may not be aware of it, but by wearing tight underwear, sperm production at your testes might be affected negatively.  This is because tight underwear produces heat, more especially if the materials used of your underwear are synthetic fibers.  You should take care not to wear tight briefs. You should also make sure that your briefs are pure cotton without mixture of any synthetic fabric.  Also, if you are used to wearing tight jeans, you must now learn to wear loose baggy pants.  Tight jeans can also adversely affect your sperm development because of the heat it can give to your testes.

If you have a habit of passing by a Sauna after work and have a body massage, it is suggested that you stop this practice if you are really intent in having a good quality of sperm cells. Saunas are bad for sperm cells due to heat exposure.  Either it is a traditional Swedish sauna or the latest kind of saunas using infra red heat can both destroy your sperm cells if you habitually expose your body to these heat therapies.  And for those people, who have the habit of taking a hot bath before sex, refrain from doing this again. Hot bath is very bad for your sperm.
