A leading Nigerian expert has given reasons why a lot of men suffer from low spe!rm count and quick ejacul@tion leaving them stressed and frustrated.

Men have been called upon to look closely at these 10 factors that is responsible for low spe!rm count and quick ejacul@tion in men. Prof. Oladapo Ashiru has brought out ten problems associated with male infertility men must look into to avoid problems in the future.

1. Prior surgeries

Certain surgeries, including vasectomy, might prevent you from having spe!rm in your testicles. Inguinal hernia repairs, scrotal or testicular surgeries, prostate surgeries, and large abdominal surgeries performed for testicular and rectal cancers, among others, are also suspect. In most cases, surgery can be performed to either reverse these blockages or to retrieve spe!rm directly from the epididymis and testicles.

2. Environmental causes

Sperm production or function can be affected by overexposure to certain environmental elements, including:

3. Industrial chemicals

Extended exposure to benzenes, toluene, xylene, herbicides, pesticides, organic solvents, painting materials and lead might contribute to low $perm counts. Exposure to lead or other heavy metals also can cause infertility.

4. Radiation or x-rays

Exposure to radiation can reduce $perm production. It can take several years for s.perm production to return to normal. With high doses of radiation, spe!rm production can be permanently reduced. It is being reported that keeping mobile phones in the pocket, close to the upper thigh, is extremely deleterious to spe!rm production with resulting low sp.erm count and morphology.

5. Drug use/Alcohol

Anabolic steroids taken to stimulate muscle strength and growth can cause the testicles to shrink and $perm production to decrease. Use of cocaine or marijuana might reduce the number and quality of your spe!rm as well. Alcohol can lower testosterone levels and cause decreased $perm production.

6. Occupation

Certain occupations might be linked with a risk of infertility, including welding or those associated with prolonged sitting, such as truck driving. However, the data to support these associations are inconsistent.

7. Lifestyle

Men who smoke might have a lower spe!rm count than those who don’t smoke.

Also, obesity can impair fertility in several ways, including directly impacting spe!rm and by causing hormone changes.

8. Plastics

Bisphenol A, an additive to plastics found in many household products, can lower $perm count and motility. A 2008 study in the journal, Fertility and Sterility, showed that men with high concentrations of BPA in their urine also had low spe!rm counts. Food packaging is a major source of BPA which can seep into foods.

9. Pesticides

Scientists also noted that rural men who are mostly farmers who are exposed to pesticides tend to have low spe!rm count. The chemicals runoff gets into tap water and can disrupt hormonal processes.

10. Tumours

Cancers and nonmalignant tumours can affect the male reproductive organs directly, through the glands that release hormones related to reproduction, such as the pituitary gland, or through unknown causes. Surgery, radiation or chemotherapy to treat tumours can also affect male fertility.
