Causes Of Men’s Infertility

As per research, there is an increased number of male infertility due to stress, environmental pollution and lifestyle. Causes of men’s infertility arise due to unhealthy lifestyles.
Mental Stress
In stress, the adrenal hormones and autonomic nervous system are affected in the reproductive system of males. Research reveals that emotional stress can decrease testosterone levels and interfere with the formation of sperms.
High temperature in the scrotum
Testicular temperature is lesser than the body temperature and is ideal for sperm production. Increasing temperature in the testicular region can affect sperm formation. Wearing tight undergarments, fever and work environment leads to higher scrotal temperature.
Smoking
Smoking contributes to erectile dysfunction.
Alcohol
Alcohol can decrease testosterone levels causing loss of libido and reduces the quantity and quality of sperms. It stops the liver from zinc absorption and reduces Vitamin A metabolism. Since vitamin A has an effective role in sperm development, alcohol intake affects the male’s reproductive health.
