MAONI YALIYOTOLEWA NA WADAU
Male infertility can be caused by a variety of factors, but there are ways to boost your sperm.
Many men don't believe they could be the reason their partner is not falling pregnant. Why? Dr Devora Lieberman from fertility clinic Genea says it's because men believe the potency of their sperm reflects their masculinity.
Sperm issues, though, are a contributing factor in 40 per cent of infertilitycases. In half of these cases, it is the sole cause.
Causes
Male infertility problems are related to "production" or "transport".
Limited sperm production, or low sperm count, could be the result of a genetic condition or an external factor, such as the use of anabolic steroids.
Research has also shown excessive exercise, particularly cycling, can have a temporary impact on sperm count, as well as movement and shape, through lowering testosterone and overheating the testes.
While it only takes one sperm to fertilise an egg, it takes millions of functioning sperm to produce the enzymes needed to get through the cloud of cells that surround an egg," Lieberman says.
On the transport side, sperm antibodies may stop the sperm from completing their journey. They are prevalent in about 10 per cent of infertile men and form if there is a break in the barrier between the bloodstream and the testes.
"It could happen as a result of a vasectomy reversal or an injury a man won't even remember," Lieberman says.
Age affects the quality rather than the quantity of sperm. Older men are also at greater risk of fathering a child with birth defects. "If the paternal age is over 50, there's increased risk of the child having problems like schizophrenia, autism and single-gene mutations," Lieberman says.
What to do
As long as men produce sperm - and only a tiny proportion don't - there is likely to be a treatment or lifestyle change that can improve their chance of becoming a father.
Men produce sperm all the time (the cycle take about two and a half months), so if infertility is related to a lifestyle factor such as smoking or diet, it doesn't take long for positive changes to take effect.
For those with low sperm count, or another barrier that prevents fertilisation, ICSI, where sperm is injected into an egg, may help.
A healthy diet helps breed healthy sperm. Nutritionist Emma Sutherland says to increase your intake of the following:
- Zinc: It makes up 90 per cent of sperm tails and helps sperm swim straight. "It's also important for hormone health," Sutherland says. Eat oysters to boost your levels.
- Selenium: Sperm are susceptible to heat and oxidative damage. The antioxidant selenium is a defence. It is present in top soil, but due to erosion is now difficult to find in foods. Try a supplement.
- Vitamin C: Another effective antioxidant. Kiwifruit and red capsicum are rich sources.
- Essential Fatty Acids: Found in foods such as fish, avocado, nuts and seeds, they help strengthen cells, giving protection against oxidative damage.
- Brassica Vegetables: Vegetables such as broccoli, brussels sprouts and cabbage cleanse the liver. "They help the liver detoxify, and lowering your toxic load improves sperm health."
