Have you noticed lately that, since the last couple of
years, more and more young men have been indulging in extremely reckless
lifestyle that could be injurious to their health? Have you also noticed the
upsurge and abuse of hazardous drugs like Codein, Tramadol and the likes? It is
becoming a disturbing trend among men. Despite the efforts of the government to
reduce the influx of these substances into the market, they continue to find
their way into the wrong hands and cause untold damages to their reproductive
system. This often always results in infertility, which in simple terms means
the inability of the man to produce sufficient quantity and quality sperm
capable of triggering conception in a woman. This is a serious problem, one
that can bring untold pain to a man who has been incapable of getting his young
wife pregnant.
Some men are too ashamed to talk about it. They shy away
from seeking medical help while others have thrown their pride out of the
window and are turning to those who could be of help for succour. They are
running from pillar to post, in a bid to find solution to the problem. Their
marriages have gone several years without a child to show for it and both
husband and wife are terribly heartbroken. Ask those who have experienced this
situation before and they will tell you it is better left imagined than
experienced. But what really are the causes of male infertility?
Lately, medical experts have confirmed that, unlike in the
past when most cases of male infertility were as a result of purely medical
factors, the situation is different these days. Nowadays, most men have brought
upon themselves the harrowing problem of infertility owing to their extremely
reckless lifestyle choices. The sort of habits young men indulge in these days are
nothing short of alarming. The most worrisome of all is the increasing rate of
drug addiction by youths. It has become common place to find our youths mixing
and taking dangerous and banned substances just to get high. Notable amongst
the drugs they are hooked onto are the banned Codein, cocaine, steroids,
marijuana and Tramadol. They just cannot get enough of these harmful
substances. They say the substances get them high. They give them super natural
energy and stamina to do things they couldn't have done if they hadn't taken
the substance, hence they turn to the drugs for sex enhancement purposes,
feeling high and oblivious of all their burdens, extra stamina for energy
sapping work, etc. But what they do not realize is that these drugs do much
more than the purposes for which they are taking them - they are causing them
infertility risks! This unapproved usage of harmful substances can cause male
infertility by damaging the sperm quality, quantity or passage of sperm.
Another lifestyle choice that can wreck a man's fertility is
excessive alcohol. Most men will not like this because majority of them are
lovers of alcohol, but the frightening truth is that excessive alcohol can
cause untold damage to your system and put you at the risk of infertility. It is
okay when, as a man, you take one or two bottles of beer once in a while if you
lack the capability to desist totally from it, but to make it a regular feature
of your life is where the problem is. It gets even worse when you become
addicted to gin, both local and original, these things have a way of killing
you slowly and affecting your chances of getting a woman pregnant.
Unhealthy diet is also another lifestyle choice that affects
the man's fertility chances. When you eat or put into your system anything that
comes your way, then you're only inviting problems. Too much of Cholesterol
from junk foods and the sorts can result into all manner of problems, e.g.
obesity, and the medical experts will tell you an obese man stands a great risk
of being infertile.
For men who are neck deep in unsafe sex, be warned. They
also are open to factors that can reduce their fertility level. Unsafe sex can
lead to sexually transmitted infections and diseases that can block the sperm
passage. And once that happens, it becomes extremely difficult and almost
impossible to get a woman pregnant. Other medical causes are Testicular damage,
which simply implies damage to the male's Testicules which can be caused by
trauma from sport, infection, surgery, etc. Ejaculation disorders too can cause
male infertility.
