Male infertility isn’t a new health problem and whether it is more common nowadays than say 50 years ago is open to debate. There is no conclusive evidence or research to prove that sperm counts and quality are in decline and if there is a decline, how much of an effect living in the 21st century has caused on man’s ability to father children is not known.

Having personally suffered from infertility and beaten the dreaded affliction through many thousands of hours of research and by using myself and 10 willing subjects as guinea pigs. I came to the conclusion from my research and quest for an effective treatment that our present day lifestyles and environmental factors do have a huge impact on many men’s ability to produce quality sperm.

I personally came from a large family of 10 brothers and sisters, my father produced the last of his offspring at the grand old age of 68. His father produced 12 children. All of my brothers and sisters have produced at least 3 children each. I would also like to add that  at no point during my life had I contacted any diseases or injuries that could have been a direct cause of my almost non existent sperm count, which was also of a very poor quality. I was given the sole destroying news from my doctor that the chances of being able to father a child were very slim. Like most men I was told that IVF was my only realistic hope. That didn’t work after 3 attempts.

The biggest obstacle I found in my path of trying to improve the quality of my sperm, was the lack of genuine help and relevant information that was available in the public domain. I have never been one to give up on a challenge and there was no way in this world I was going to give up on the joys of experiencing fatherhood without given it my best shot. I thought there must be a way to regenerate my sperm, I just had to find it.

From my countless hours of research and by experimenting with various diet and exercise regimes, as well as lifestyle changes I was eventually able to become an extremely fertile male and I’m now a proud father of 3 children. I would also like to add that 7 out of the 10 men that were involved in the Male Fertility Regeneration Treatment Programmes development, have also went onto successfully father children.

From my own experiences I most definitely feel that not only so called environmental factors, but also lifestyle factors have a huge effect on modern man’s ability to produce healthy sperm, especially in the the more developed and industrialised countries of the world. The environmental factors – water, food and air are down to an ever increasing amount of pollution, which can only have a negative effect on our healths and the way our body functions.

Lifestyle factors such as poor diet, lack of exercise and stress are all factors that effect sperm production. I personally feel that carrying a mobile phone in your trousers pocket and the use of laptops on knees has significant negative effect.

The outcome of my own infertility battle was the creation of the Male Fertility  Regeneration Treatment Programme, a natural system that has helped many men who were diagnosed as being infertile to become fathers.

What Causes Male Infertility

What causes male infertility or for that matter male fertility problems is the million-dollar question. There are numerous reasons why men develop fertility problems, which cause problems with the sperm count or quality.

The cause of fertility problems in men may quite likely caused by one of the following factors

Varicocele – is a network of tangled blood vessels (varicose veins) in the scrotum. It is a leading cause of male infertility and may also cause pain and atrophy (shrinkage) of the testicles.

Varicoceles occur in 15-20 per cent of fertile men and 30 to 40 per cent of men with fertility problems and can occur on either or both sides, but are far more common on the left. They are often described as feeling like a bag of worms. It is thought that varicocele either heats up the testicles or impairs their blood supply resulting in a build-up of body waste products, thus affecting fertility

Obstructive problems – a blockage in a sperm-carrying tubes has many potential causes. The most common are: groin surgery, trauma (even fairly minor sporting injuries), infection (particularly chlamydia, gonorrhoea and tuberculosis). previous vasectomy.

Some men have congenital (present at birth) absence of the vas deferens on one or both sides. The vas deferens is the tube that conducts the testicular component of semen to the urethra, which then carries semen through the penis to the outside world.

About 10 per cent of men with an obstructive cause for their infertility will have this problem. The seminal vesicles (where other semen components are made) are often absent too.

Testicular injury and disease Sperm disorders – a blow to the testicles, which may occur in sport or during a fight, can cause swelling of the testicles, or bleeding in or around them. This probably causes the blood supply to the testicles to fail, resulting in permanent damage to the sperm production mechanism.

Torsion of the testicles (twisting of a testicle on its cord) can have a similar effect if it is not treated very quickly with surgery.

Viral infections can cause inflammation of the testicles (orchitis, which usually appears as painful swelling of the testicles) and failure of sperm production. Mumps is the best-known cause, but is not the only one. Mumps will only affect fertility if it causes orchitis and, even then, only rarely. Undescended testicles (cryptorchidism) are another common cause of failure of sperm production.

Male infants and children are routinely examined to identify this problem, as future fertility can only be preserved if surgical treatment to fix the testicles in the scrotum is performed in early childhood. Even surgery in infancy does not guarantee future fertility.

Genetic disorders – problems with chromosomes (packages of genetic material) occur in about 2 to 20 per cent of infertile men and can affect their fertility in two ways.

1. Chromosome disorders can affect the development of the testicles.

2. Chromosome abnormalities can disrupt sperm production.

Problems with erection) and ejaculation – problems with sex are the principal cause of infertility in about 5% of couples. This can be due to: erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, failure to ejaculate, inability to achieve vaginal penetration for other reasons

Hormonal problems – testosterone deficiency can reduce fertility and may be caused by problems caused by either,

  • Testicular testosterone production,
  • Problems with the pituitary gland
  • Hypothalamus in the brain, which control testosterone production.
  • Overproduction of prolactin (hyperprolactinaemia), a hormone produced by the pituitary gland, may also reduce fertility.

General medical disorders that reduce fertility – there are several conditions that may reduce fertility: Fever (These changes usually recover over a few weeks).

Diabetes, High blood pressure, Coronary artery disease, Neurological disorders (eg multiple sclerosis, stroke, and spinal cord injury), Kidney disease, Cancer (may directly reduce fertility or drugs and radiation used to treat cancer may severely reduce or stop sperm production.

Alcoholism (alcohol is toxic to sperm), Stress: stress causes several hormonal changes in the body that can affect fertility. Stress can have many causes, including anxiety over fertility problems.

Drugs that reduce fertility – many drugs, both prescribed and those used recreationally (alcohol, tobacco marijuana), can reduce fertility. Any fertility concerns related to prescribed drugs should be discussed with your GP or fertility doctor.

Environmental toxins and radiation – It is a possibility that chemicals in the environment or more probably where you work may affect your fertility.

The first place you should go to and attempt to find out what has actually caused your infertility problems is your doctor, but in most cases it will be recommended that expensive assisted conception techniques are the only hope.

However for many men the most practical option will be to embark upon a self help program, such as our Male Fertility Regeneration Treatment Program, which can drastically improve the prospects of being able to father a child.
