Factors, diagnostic approaches, and therapeutic interventions for male infertility – an issue affecting both genders, not solely women

The main causes of infertility in men are poor semen quality low sperm count (less than 20 million/ml of semen), changes in sperm structure or low motility.

Many chemicals and heavy metals have a negative effect on the process of spermatogenesis (especially lead and cadmium). Fertility studies often reveal hormonal disorders that are more likely to be associated with female infertility. Men may also have a disrupted hormonal economy.

A basic step in the fight against infertility is a change in lifestyle. Physical activity, a healthy, balanced diet, avoiding injections is often enough to improve semen quality and to cope with the problem of infertility. However, when the cause is deeper, you should contact a doctor who will perform the appropriate tests and apply effective therapy.

The test to determine fertility in men is based primarily on semen testing. The volume of semen tested should be greater than 2 ml, and sexual withdrawal is recommended 2 to 3 days before the test itself. The current minimum spermogram values (seed analyses) considered to be correct: sperm count - ≥ 20 million/ml of free semen - ≥ 25% of fast-moving or 50% of fast and progressive semen in terms of morphological evaluation - The correct quality of the semen indicates a lack of at least 50% of normal semen.
