Gentlemen, Your Reproductive Health Deserves Attention

When it comes to fertility, much of the focus is often placed on women — but did you know that male factors contribute to nearly 50% of infertility cases? Fertility is a shared responsibility, and understanding male reproductive health is crucial when a couple is trying to conceive.

At Nex IVF and Fertility Centre, we believe that men’s fertility health is just as important as women’s, and we are committed to offering the right support, tests, and treatments to empower men on their parenthood journey.

🧬 Understanding Male Fertility

Male fertility is primarily influenced by the quantity and quality of sperm. For a successful pregnancy, sperm must be produced in sufficient numbers, have proper motility (ability to swim), and normal morphology (shape). Several factors can impact sperm health, including:

Hormonal imbalance
Lifestyle choices
Medical conditions
Environmental exposures
Stress and age

🧪 Common Tests to Check Male Fertility

When couples face challenges in conceiving, a semen analysis is usually the first test recommended for men. This test evaluates sperm count, motility, morphology, and semen volume. Based on the findings, additional tests may be advised, such as:

Hormone testing
Scrotal ultrasound
Genetic testing
Testicular biopsy
Anti-sperm antibody tests

Early testing can help detect underlying issues and guide treatment plans effectively.

⚠️ Signs That May Indicate Male Fertility Issues

Many men don’t realize they have fertility problems until they try to conceive. Some signs to watch for include:

Low sex drive or erectile dysfunction
Pain or swelling in the testicular area
Decreased facial or body hair
History of testicular trauma or surgeries
Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)

If you notice any of these, it’s best to consult a fertility expert.

🔍 What Can Affect Male Fertility?

There are many reasons why sperm quality may decline, including:

Smoking and alcohol consumption
Obesity or being underweight
High heat exposure (like hot tubs or saunas)
Excessive stress
Use of steroids or illicit drugs
Occupational hazards (radiation, chemicals)
Chronic illnesses like diabetes, thyroid disorders, or infections

💡 How Can Men Improve Their Fertility?

The good news is that many fertility issues in men are reversible with healthy lifestyle changes. Here are some tips:

✅ Eat a balanced, antioxidant-rich diet

✅ Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight

✅ Quit smoking and limit alcohol

✅ Get 7–8 hours of quality sleep

✅ Avoid tight underwear and prolonged heat exposure

✅ Reduce stress with mindfulness practices

✅ Take supplements like Zinc, Vitamin C, E, and CoQ10 (after consulting a doctor)
