Myths About Male Infertility
Age is Not A Factor When It Comes To Infertility
Most people believe that men continue to sire healthy children throughout their lives. However, with increasing age, the sperm quantity and quality are affected making it hard to impregnate their partner.
Infertility Is Only A Woman’s Problem
Most people believe that infertility is only a man’s problem which is not always the case. The fact is that both men and women face infertility issues with a third of cases facing men and another third facing women while the rest of the cases are a shared lot.
Boxers May Prevent Men From Siring Children
A number of people debate about whether men should wear boxers or briefs when trying to sire children. It is believed that tight underwear may make it hard to maintain healthy sperm production therefore men should ditch tight briefs in favour of boxers. This is just a myth and hasn’t been scientifically proven.
Testosterone Supplements Boost Sperm Count
People believe that testosterone supplements may increase sperm count but taking such supplements may reduce the man’s ability to produce testosterone which could reduce sperm count and make your partner prone to infertility.
Fertility Does Not Affect Men’s Overall Health
