GRAPHIC=Male Health


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.
As Dr. Emily Senay reports, the question is WHY?

IN Q=I believe

((DR. MARC GOLDSTEIN/NEW YORK HOSPITAL: I BELIEVE THAT THE EVIDENCE IN FAVOR OF A DECLINE IN SPERM COUNTS WORLDWIDE IS REAL. ONE OF THE REASONS PROPOSED BY THE DANISH INVESTIGATORS WAS THE PRESENCE OF ESTROGENS IN THE ATMOSPHERE. AN INCREASE IN THE ESTROGENS THAT HAVE POLLUTED THE ATMOSPHERE AS A RESULT OF THE COMBUSTION OF PETROL PRODUCTS. ))
RUNS=:20
OUT Q=petrol products


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.
(/////SOT/////)
SOT 16:48:42
IN Q=The two

((THE TWO HORMONES IN THE BRAIN THAT CONTROL SPERM PRODUCTION IN THE MALE HORMONE TESTOSTERONE PRODUCTION DISSOLVE IN FAT. THEY ARE FAT SOLUBLE HORMONES AND THEREFORE MEN THAT ARE OVERWEIGHT HAVE TOO MUCH FAT AND THESE HORMONES DISSOLVE IN THEIR FAT BEFORE THEY GET TO THE TESTICLES IN HIGH CONCENTRATIONS. ))
RUNS=:20
OUT Q=high concentration.


The recent studies showing a decline in sperm quality--the largest coming from France--caused a stir in the scientific community and the media.
But not everyone is convinced we need to be overly concerned.

IN Q=Men should

((DR. ROBERT M. MOLDWIN/UROLOGIST, LONG ISLAND JEWISH MEDICAL CENTER: MEN SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE STUDIES EXIST NO GREAT ALARM SHOULD BE SOUNDED AS FAR AS THESE STUDIES ARE CONCERNED BECAUSE THESE STUDIES AGAIN ADDRESS SEMEN QUALITY THEY DO NOT ADDRESS FERTILITY PER SE AND THEIR IS STILL SOME QUESTION AND CONTROVERSY CONCERNING THESE STUDIES AND THE END RESULT IS UNCLEAR AT THIS TIME.))
RUNS=:25
OUT Q=at this time.


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.
But at this point noone knows how much of a problem male infertility will be in the future.
Dr. Emily Senay, for CBS News, New York.))

ANCHOR=Jean
SS=HOLD


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.
