Male Infertility: Causes and Treatment Options


There are various causes of male infertility which ranges from testicular disease, hormone deficiencies to structural problems (acquired or births defects) to the male reproductive organs.
Environmental exposures to certain chemical agents , cancer treatments, the use of 'recreational' substances ( for example: alcohol, illegal drugs, performance/anabolic steroids which. Includes certain herbal preparations capable of altering hormonal balance in the body could/ have to potential of causing male infertility.
Medications used in the treatment of epilepsy, depression and hypertension
The common causes of male-factor infertility are:

* Infections : like mumps are known to cause damage and blockages to the male reproductive systems. Prompt treatment is of importance using curative herbal remedy to avoid complex process that can leads to surgery.

* Hormonal Imbalances: Evidence suggests that thyroid problems also can lead to low levels of testosterone, follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) which are hormones necessary for the production of sperm. Effective herbal medicine could also be used in certain circumstances to aid LH and FSH production.

* Sexual Dysfunction: Associated with psychological issues, age ( more of ejaculatory problems:premature and delayed ejaculation) ,medical conditions
NB: Retrograde ejaculation is when semen is released backwards that is into the bladder, which is usually associated with nerve damage, following surgery to the prostate or lower back surgery, some congenial birth defects and diseases including diabetes and multiple sclerosis and medications used in the treatment of depression and high blood pressure.

* Sperm Quantity and Quality
Poor sperm count, motility and morphology
In cases where there's evidence of infections like sexually transmitted diseases , prompt treatment is of great importance using natural herbal formula which would likely increase chances of conception.
Blockages and Other Anatomical Problems in the male reproductive system
Any blockage in the passage of sperm from the testis would lead to azoospermia, whereby there is no sperm in semen or ejaculate.
Blockages could be the result of birth defects (congenital absence of. As deferens), or sometimes due to complication of infection causing scarring or post- surgical (vasectomy ).

* Varicocele
A varicocele cause by weakness in the valves of the veins. These valves assist in ensuring one-way flow ( unidirectional flow) in the veins, when these valves becomes weak, the veins becomes abnormally swollen (varicose) vein that diminishes or blocks blood flow around the testes.
They eventually cause an increase in scrotal temperature which is not ideal; hence they have been controversially linked to poor sperm production and quality.

* Immune System Disorders
In rare instances the body recognizes one's sperm as foreign, this could be due to interruption in the normal anatomy of the male reproductive system.
Hypospadias
This is a congenital condition where the opening of the urethra ( external opening on the penis : to let out urine& semen ) is not located at the tip-end of the penis; which make it a challenge for the semen to get properly deposited in the vagina of the female during intercourse.
Herbal remedy with an extensive scientific research, confirmed, together with pure natural nutritional therapy is an ideal solution for the above listed causes either for treatment or prevention.

HOW TO SELECT YOUR BABY'S SEX.

By Bridge Counsellor

Sperm cells are either X or Y.

The Egg cell is always X. If X-Sperm cell meets the egg(X) the baby will be a Girl (XX). If Y-Sperm cell meets the egg(X), the baby will be a Boy (XY). The Y-Sperm cells move fast but die fast (its lifespan is about 24hrs). X-Sperm cells move slowly but survive longer (up to 3-4days).
Therefore, if you have intercourse some days before ovulation, most of the Y-Sperm cells would have died leaving mostly X-Sperm cells to fertilized the egg
Here's a simple way to calculate your ovulation period.

  1. From the first day you see the blood of your period.
  2. Pick up a calendar and count 15 days including the first day of the blood stain.
  3. Mark the 15th day with a pen.
  4. Mark 3 days before the 15th day, and mark 3 days after the 15th day.
  5. You will notice you have 7 days marked. These 7 days are your ovulation/fertile days also known as unsafe period. That is if you have sex on any of these days, then you have 98% chances of being pregnant.
  6. Do this every month diligently

For Example;

  1. If your period is 16th August, 
  2. 15 days after the first day of the blood stain will be on 30th of this August too (2weeks after) counting from 16th.
  3. 15th day is on the 30th August
  4. 3-days before the 15th day is 27, 28, 29.
  5. 3-days after 30th August is 31st, 1st September, 2nd September.
  6. 27th August - 2nd September (7 days) is when you are ovulating. It is your fertile period.

**Don't forget that the 4 days is a reminder that sperm stays in the female body for about 4 days. Any sexual contact in between ovulation period will form something ...
If you want a baby girl, have sex between 3 days before ovulation (27- 29th)
Female sperm swim slowly but can stay inside woman body for days without dying off,
For a baby boy on the main ovulation day and 3 days after 30th. (31st, 1st, 2nd)
Male sperm swim very fast but will get weak and die off if no egg found for a while leaving female sperm to finish the job .
