Hi Sam,
We've been trying now for two years to have a baby. At this point I've undergone multiple tests with no answers. My doctor has recommended my husband be tested for fertility issues.
His immediate response seems to be that I'm somehow questioning his sexual abilities. Trust me -- THAT part is fine!
How is it that women are supposed to go through the testing and that's ok, but the same isn't true for guys?
Men hoping to settle down and start a family should give up smoking, a new study warns. Adding to the long list of dangers from tobacco, researchers found that heavy smokers end up about two-thirds less fertile than non-smokers.
Most of us assume that our ability to have children is secure. After all, procreation is a basic human right, is it not? Well for some, this basic right is not so simple. Infertility can be a painful and confusing experience for couples mentally prepared to have children.
There are multiple causes of infertility. The male alone is the cause in 20-35% of cases of infertility. An evaluation of the male should be one of the very first tests carried out in the investigation of the infertile couple.
