\"infertility\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Most men still think infertility is a female problem and they are so wrong. Males just as females can have infertility issues and its important males know what can cause these infertility problems.<\/p>\n

Below are 7 common causes of male infertility<\/p>\n

2. ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS:<\/b><\/p>\n

Environmental factors can also affect a man’s infertility. Exposure to mercury, pesticide, second-hand smoke and radiation can wreck a man’s fertility. Working safely around these exposures is important.<\/p>\n

3. LIFESTYLE HABITS:<\/b><\/p>\n

Your lifestyle can have an adverse effect on your fertility. You should ensure you live a healthy lifestyle if you want to avoid male infertility. Use of recreational drugs, excessive drinking, smoking can decrease a man’s sperm count and mobility of sperm cells. Use of laptops on your laps can affect your sperm production due to the temperature the laptop generates. Being a vegetarian can also affect a man’s fertility according to research.<\/p>\n

4. AGE:<\/b><\/p>\n
