Understanding Male Fertility
Male fertility is just as important as female fertility when it comes to conception. Here are some key concepts to understand:
Sperm production
Sperm are produced in the testes and mature in the epididymis. Healthy sperm production is important for male fertility.
Sperm count
Sperm count refers to the number of sperm in a given sample. A low sperm count can indicate infertility.
Sperm motility
Sperm motility refers to the ability of sperm to move through the female reproductive system and fertilize an egg. Poor sperm motility can also indicate infertility.
Lifestyle factors
Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive drinking, and drug use can have a negative impact on male fertility. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can support male fertility.
By understanding male fertility and taking steps to support it, men can increase their chances of conceiving.
