Men's Sperm Counts Are Dropping

Men's Sperm Counts Are Dropping, and Scientists Don't Know Why
March 3, 2018

Your sperm count may be significantly less than that of men 40 years ago.

The topic of overpopulation has been much discussed over the past few decades, but what if the real issue is a severe decline in population?

It sounds like something straight out of a dystopian nightmare, but new research shows sperm counts are drastically dropping across the Western world.

Researchers from Hebrew University-Hadassah Braun School of Public Health and Community Medicine in Jerusalem announced this week that sperm count in men residing in developed countries has dropped by a whopping 50 percent over the past 40 years. They claim this alarming trend could potentially result in a decline in male health, fertility and possibly even extinction if the trend doesn’t turn around.

“This study is an urgent wake-up call for researchers and health authorities around the world to investigate the causes of the sharp ongoing drop in sperm count,” explained study co-author Hagai Levine.

After data was collected from 185 studies looking at sperm count and concentration in men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand from 1973 to 2011, researchers found that total sperm count declined by 59.3 percent and sperm concentration declined by 52.4 percent.

Data from men in South America, Asia and Africa were also examined, however, no serious decline was detected. Researchers did note that not as many studies have been conducted in these regions.

Researchers didn’t look into reasons why the drop in sperm count occurred, but noted that the phenomenon has been previously linked to factors ranging from exposure to chemicals and pesticides to lifestyle choices, including smoking, obesity and stress. They are worried that if things keep heading in this direction, the human race could be doomed.

Daniel Brison, an embryology and stem cell biology specialist at Manchester University who was asked to comment on the findings, told Reuters the study had “major implications not just for fertility, but for male health and wider public health.”

Might that be a sufficient reason to start narrowing the gap in Health spending?

As it stands, there is far more govt money spent on women's health issues than men's health issues

I think male infertility due to sperm quantity/quality is also severe in Hong Kong.

I am a 40 years old and have been trying to have babies with my partner for the past 2.5 years. We have one child about 4.5 years ago and so I thought my sperm was OK. Not until I have a test about 6 months ago and found out that both my sperm quantity and quality was failed and it was very difficult to make my partner pregnant naturally.

After discovering that, I have done some research and found this fertisan M male food supplements. I have took the food supplements for 4 months and in the fifth month my partner was pregnant. Really worth taking a look if you are looking to improve your sperm quality.
