Male Infertility
HERBAL TREATMENT OF MALE INFERTILITY:
When there is a sexual activity between a man and a woman for a period of about a year, especially during the period of ovulation and no pregnancy occurs, it is termed infertility. Simply put, infertility is a failure to carry pregnancy, and in most cases, the problem may be difficult to treat. The journey from ovulation to fertilization and finally into pregnancy is a very intricate process and some things must be in place before pregnancy can occur.
Infertility in men is often as a result of low sperm count or other anatomical abnormalities. Exposures to toxin, testicular injuries, alcohol consumption, hormonal disorders etc, are some of the things that can lead to infertility in men. The most common cause of infertility in men is called varicocele, which is a dilated vein of the spermatic cord.
For women, when there is a failure in the ovulary cycle, like blocked fallopian tube, or uterine fibroids, it leads to infertility. Stress or fears of parenthood are some physychological issues that may contribute to infertility in women.
There has been of late, the discovery of proven herbal and nutritional approach to the treatment of infertility and low sperm count. Men who are diabetic are more susceptible to infertility, especially when it is not properly treated.
Also, men with multiple sexual partners are prone to contact sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea, syphilis or Chlamydia, and these diseases can lead to low sperm count. Malnutrition in men leads to either underweight or overweight; deficiency of zinc vitamins and amino acids, and these are chemicals that are vital to the building of sperm and the absence of these leads to low sperm count. Excess alcohol intake, smoking of cigarettes or heroin, cocaine and the use of body building steroids in men reduces sperm count. Working under severe stressful conditions, especially when the work requires sitting down all day, working in overheated environment or driving long distance with overheated vehicles reduces sperm count in men. All these goes to show that men are more susceptible to infertility than women.
PREVENTION OF LOW SPERM COUNT:
In order to prevent low sperm count, it is important to run away from health damaging habits, like having multiple sexual partners, smoking of cigarettes or cocaine and marijuana, alcohol intake etc. Also all habits that lead to chronic stress should be avoided. All junk food, like stimulants e.g. coffee, strong tea and other unwholesome food should be avoided. Very hot baths, saunas, exposing the testis to very hot environment raises the temperature of the testicles and must be avoided in order to run away from low sperm count.
TREATMENT:
In as much as it is known that infertility in men can occur as a result of many factors, it is gratifying to note that several herbal nutritional supplements have been used over the years and the results are encouraging. Where some “high tech medications” have failed, herbal medicines have restored life and joy to many men. Nutrients like zinc are required, selenium, vitamin A,C,E and B complex, amino acids, essential fatty acids etc are necessary ingredients needed to make sperm healthy and maintain a high motility and energy . This must be in place before conception can take place. And all the above nutrients are best when they are sourced naturally. Nutrition plays a vital role in the treatment of male infertility and low sperm count. E.g., carrots, potatoes, onions and garlic are good sources of zinc. Fish, liver, vegetables like garden egg, cucumber etc, provide vitamin and zinc. Substances like B-carotene and lycopene improves the sperm motility. Lycopene is responsible for the red colors of tomatoes. B-carotene is produced from carotene. Some nutritional supplements which contains reasonable amount of anti-oxidants are equally very helpful in restoring men’s fertility.
