Five main reasons for low sperm count in men and how to avoid it
Over the past 50 years, men's sperm count has declined by 51 percent. This is the most important conclusion in the research conducted by Israel's Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Mount Sinai School of Medicine in America.
Researchers analyzed the data and found that men had an average of 101 million reproductive cells per millimeter of semen in 1970, but that average has now dropped to 49 million.
As well as quantity, there is evidence that the quality of men has also declined, and reproductive cells have declined over the past decades.
"What was most affected was the sperm's ability to circulate," says urologist and andrologist Mocar Rafael Radelli, vice president of the Brazilian Association of Assisted Reproduction. Without this ability, the reproductive capacity of the sperm decreases.
Sperm count affected over time has concerned health experts. "It's really worrying because we're seeing this process accelerate and we don't even know where it's going to end," says Dr. Eduardo Miranda.
According to the same study, between 1970 and 1990, there was a 1.16% decline in sperm count, which has increased to 2.64% since 2000.
These are following causes of low sperm count in men.
1. Obesity
2. Addiction
3. Sexually transmitted infections
4. Habit of sitting with laptop on lap
5. Toxic substances
