4 Common Male Infertility Myths And Their Truths
It’s not my fault. There has to be something wrong with my wife / partner!
Truth: Denial- get over yourself guys as your partner is just as devastated! Infertility is no body’s fault but medically speaking the problems are usually about half and half in general terms.
This is definitely all my fault because if I’d worn boxer shorts instead of briefs my entire life we would surely have kids by now.
Truth: For sure research shows that excessively tight pants and heat can cause sperm count issues but it’s not likely to be the main cause of your fertility problems. Don’t beat yourself up for your past; leave it where it belongs in the past and start wearing boxers more often now.
Working for long hours with laptop on your lap, can cause the sperm count to reduce significantly. This affects the quality of sperms too, since the radiation from the computers (specially laptops kept on laps) causes lot of harm to sperms.
Cure : Try sitting in a cold tub of water for few minutes a day.
I've been told that I’ve got a low sperm count so I guess that’s it regarding us having kids.
Truth: Chances are that your GP will find the cause of your low sperm count and if for example it’s a blockage or another condition that can be treated; you can certainly go on to have children.
There are also lots of low sperm count conditions that respond to diet and lifestyle changes such as losing weight and quitting smoking as well as refraining from alcohol. Don’t forget that just because your sperm count is low now it’s not a lifelong sentence! Get some good advice and intervention treatment.
My partner and I can wait for a few more years because my fertility isn’t going to change one bit as I age.
Truth: Sadly to inform you but after the age of 35; male fertility begins to decline. It is usually quite a gradual process but infection hinders sperm production and can certainly speed the downward spiral up a notch. You shouldn’t put off having kids for too long.
