In a medical study in 2017, after examining samples from around 43,000 people worldwide, it was discovered that sperm count has dropped significantly over the past 40 years.
No clear reason for this is known and further research is needed, but researchers have identified some habits and medical disorders that increase the risk of infertility in men.
The following are the causes and conditions.
Depression and mental anxiety:
Not only are medicines used for depression and anxiety, but they also cause a decrease in sperm content in men, which increases the risk of infertility.
Radiation effect of the devices:
Various research reports examining the effects of cell phone radiation on sperm count. In 2014, a study published in the Central European Journal of Urology found that men who carry cell phones in the front pocket of pants are significantly reduced in sperm count. Similarly, research published in the International Journal of Fertility and Sterility in 2015 found that mobile phone radiation can affect sperm quality in just one hour while sperm DNA scattering is accelerated.
Tight reserves:
A Harvard University 2018 study found that the use of tight underwear leads to a decrease in sperm count, which increases the risk of infertility, causing the body's temperature to rise, according to research The use of orgasms stimulates hormones that damage the process of creating the scream.
Smoking:
Drugs, alcohol and smoking habits increase the risk of many medical problems and also have an infertility. A 2016 Brazilian study reported that DNA dispersal rates are high in sperm samples of smokers.
Obesity:
According to a 2017 study published in the journal Journal Andrologia, obesity is also a risk factor for infertility, as it lowers sperm count and motility levels.
Vitamin D deficiency:
Vitamin D deficiency can have negative effects on overall health, but vitamin D is very important in preventing infertility. A study published in the journal Human Reproduction found that men suffering from vitamin D deficiency have a higher risk of infertility, leading to decreased sperm count and motility.
Fast food hobby
One study found that eating fast food can also lead to infertility, and it can also cause infectious diseases such as erectile dysfunction. Researchers discovered that men suffer from various sperm problems as a result of the Western diet.

In June this year, research from Aarhus University in the Netherlands said that if men want children, they should lie in bed by 10:30 pm. The study found that men who lie down to sleep sooner, the risk of infertility is 4 times less than those who sleep at 11:30 pm or later. Researchers say that lack of sleep stimulates the body's immune system, which attacks sperm quality, while also increasing the physical and psychological pressure on men, which also affects their chances of childbirth after marriage. There are. He said the results of the research are very important in the current era when many people are engaged in television or smart phones till late at night.
Specific drugs:
According to the Cleveland Clinic, sperm count may also be affected by medicines used to prevent bladder growth and hair fall. Similarly, drugs used for depression and mental anxiety also pose a risk. Various drugs for cancer chemotherapy also cause infertility.
Toxic material:
Sperm count also results from toxic substances in the environment such as pesticides or heavy metals, research published in the journal Current Urology Reports in 2018 reveals that toxic effects in the environment damage various functions of sperm.
