How to Handle Infertility Issues?

Abnormal sperm production in men can stem from many factors such as undescended testicles (testicles which fail to move to the scrotum), health problems including diabetes and infections such as mumps. Overexposure to pesticides, radiations, smoke and alcohol can also induce infertility in both men and women. Primary ovarian insufficiency is a condition where the ovaries stop working and the menstrual cycle ends before women turn 40.

Studies have revealed that men who consume soy-based foods on an average daily basis have a sperm count per milliliter which is 32 percent less than men who do not consume soy-based foods. The reason is that soy-based foods have mild estrogenic effects which are detrimental to a man's fertility. Sea foods are contaminated with a variety of toxins which can be very harmful for both men and women in their pre conception preparations.

It might be a common belief that fertility is a woman's problem, but this is very far from the truth. Fertility problems bother both men and women. Of all the infertility cases reported every year, about 35% concern the womenfolk. But, don't be surprised hearing the fact that an equal percentage of the cases are related to men as well. 20% of the cases are because of a problem in both the partners and 10 percent accrue due to unknown causes.

Though there is no evidence to prove the statement true, research shows that women who underwent stress reduction courses enhanced their chances of pregnancy through IVF (In vitro fertilization). Though women become pregnant under all sorts of stressful conditions, doctors advise patients to work less and avoid stressful jobs while they are trying to conceive.
