The definition of infertility is the failure to conceive after regular unprotected sex for 2 years. If you're a man who is having problems then read on to find out what could be causing the problem.
Of 100 couples trying to conceive naturally:20 will have conceived after 1 month70 after 6 months85 after 1 year90 after 18 months95 after 2 years
Simple things that can affect men's fertility• A bad diet can affect sperm production- you are what you eat, and so is your sperm, so eat your 5 portions of fruit and veg for the sake of your meat and 2 veg!• Smoking reduces the quality of your sperm, and can cause you problems getting an erection because it reduces the blood supply to your penis. Your child’s health may also be affected by your smoking, so use that as an incentive to give up.• Excessive alcohol consumption reduces sperm quality. It also damages your liver, makes you act like an idiot, gives you bad hangovers and costs a lot, so support your partner and join her in sobriety.• Stress makes you less likely to want to have sex, and anxiety can affect your ability to get an erection and keep it. Forget about ovulation charts for a while- take time out to relax and have some fun with your partner.Next page: More causes of male infertility...

It is important to know you diet as this is the stepping stone to increase fertility in men. You have to strive and eat so much of fresh vegetables, legumes, fruits, and whole grains. Try as much as you can to stay away from tobacco, refined carbohydrates, coffee as well as tea among others. Gaining extra weight than your body needs is also an issue in male fertility. As the truth has, obesity reduces sperm count and the power for men to perform sex up to the required standards. Besides, most casers of importance are associated with abnormal weight increase and high temperatures and fasts in the testes and around them. Try undertaking exercises at least every week (this can be five times or more) and has to be done in not less than forty five minutes on every session. This ultimately help maintain your weight at the level you can handle it. For sure, stress and anxiety about infertility is lessened tremendously. Take so more nutritional supplements that are known to increase fertility in men such as vitamin C, Zinc, and arginine.
