ALTERNATIVE APPROACH TO THE TREATMENT OF MALE INFERTILITY (IV)

Alternative approach to the treatment of male infertility or (low sperm count) IV


Helpful remedies: Before we examine some of the helpful remedies in nature for men with low sperm count, let it be mentioned that some men are more prone to infertility problems than others e.g.
*Men who suffer from diabetis mellitus are more susceptible to infertility, especially if the condition is poorly treated.
*Men who have multiple sexual partners are more likely to contract sexually transmitted diseases, such as gonorrhea, syphilis, Chlamydia – the most common enemies of human reproduction. These micro organisms do not only destroy the reproductive organs, they are also known to cause other diseases like, chronic inflammation of the prostate, orchitis, shrinkage of the testicles, obstruction or blockage of the spermatic duct – due to scarring resulting from their proliferation in the reproductive organs.

Infection in men, may not only result in low or absence of sperm, some of the drugs used in their treatment may equally lead to poor semen analysis result e.g. low sperm count with poor motility. Infected sperm cannot successfully fertilize the female ovum.

The problem of fertility in a couple is further complicated when the infection is passed on to the spouse – this has often resulted in sterility (i.e. the permanent biological inability to produce an offspring).
*Men who are malnourished; malnutrition in this sense means not getting the right kind of nutrients which are necessary for the normal functioning of the body. This may lead to underweight, excess body weight (obesity), anaemia, nutritional deficiency – (zinc, vitamin C, E and amino acids etc necessary for the building of sperm), build up of toxins in the blood and consequently low sperm count and hormonal imbalance.
*Men who are addicted to excessive alcohol intake, cigarette smoking, heroin, morphine, cocaine users, and muscle builders many be more highly prone to infertility than others.
*There are a group of men whose testicles once produced adequate number of sperm, but later became sub fertile (low sperm count) when they work under:
*severe stressful situations, especially when their work requires sitting down all day, or long distance drivers in overheated cars, those working in very hot environments or those who take hot baths and saunas.
