Male infertilty

INFERTILITY is a condition in which a man
and woman try to have children but the
woman does not become pregnant.
Primarily, infertility affects between 15 and
20 per vcent of couples who wish to
conceive.
Approximately one-third of cases result
from male factors, one-third from female
factors, and one-third from combined
factors. It is therefore crucial to evaluate
both partners before deciding on any form
of natural or artificial intervention.
Such evaluation is warranted if there is no
pregnancy after six months of regular,
unprotected intercourse. Hormonal profiles
and detailed semen analysis are the
cornerstones of laboratory investigations
after the history and physical examination.
Investigations for causes in the male are
safer and simpler; consequently, they are
normally performed first to save cost and to
save the woman a series of tests, if a cause
can be found in the male.
Unfortunately, most men do not submit
themselves to fertility tests. Rather, they
ascribe the shortcomings to their wife’s
conditions only.
Men are sometimes unable to make their
women pregnant because they have fewer
sperm than is normal. This condition,
scientifically called Oligospermia, is the
presence of less than 20 million sperms per
millilitre in the ejaculate; while Azoospermia
is the total absence of sperm cells.
Causes of male infertility include testicular
abnormalities, chronic infections such as
gonorrhoea, chlamydia and candidiasis as
well as environmental factors (such as
irradiation), nutritional imbalance, drugs,
sexual habits, etc.
In trying to solve the problem of male
infertility, it should be understood that
spermatogenesis, that is, the process from
sperm formation to maturation takes
approximately 74 days. It is therefore
necessary to go back to nature and observe
events while exercising patience over a
period of about three months, before
drawing conclusion on viability or efficacy
of bio-medical intervention.
Thus, a repeat sperm analysis is only
meaningful after three months of
intervention. It is also important to note that
hormones and other medicines commonly
given to men who cannot have babies
almost never do any good; magic cures are
not likely to help either.
Oligospermic and Azoospermic patients will
benefit immensely from the holistic natural
remedies scientifically formulated from
herbal extracts of local plants such as
Bombax buonopozense, Triumfetta
cordifolia, Momordica charantia and Musa
paradisiaca.
