Infertility is a problem for a record number of couples.
There are many reasons-- including women delaying childbearing, as well as
greater stress in everyday life.
One problem that gets less attention is male infertility.
Recent studies have found a decline in sperm quantity and quality from men
around the world.

Other possible factors for declining sperm quality include pesticides,
drugs like marijuana, cocaine and alcohol, lead exposure, sexually transmitted
diseases, and stress.
One of the simplest reasons for a decline in sperm count maybe that more
men have desk jobs. sitting with legs crossed can raise the temperature inside
the testes by degrees-- preventing the production of sperm. another important
factor is weight.

Though the results of these studies are controversial they do point out
that fertility is just as much a concern for men as it is for women.

be in the future.

Men can also help prevent infertility by following a healthy lifestyle which
includes keeping weight down and avoiding drugs and alcohol.
Doctors also say that when fertility problems arise the man should probably
see a doctor first.
It's much easier-- and CHEAPER-- to tell if the fertility problem rests with
the man, than with the woman.
When a couple has a problem with fertility, about half the time the man will
be identified as having the problem.
