It takes 2 to make a baby. This sounds like a pretty obvious statement but if you look at how fertility clinics, doctors and specialists approach fertility issues, you could be forgiven in thinking it is pure a female issue.
Well, it takes two to tango…………. and make a baby!
The quality of sperm is as important as the quality the egg. The sperm’s quality is hugely significant not only the embryo to be able to implant, but also to develop in the uterus and bring to life a healthy baby.
So what can cause poor sperm quality?
Factors such as lifestyle, infection, excessive heat, diet, alcohol, medication, radiation, toxin exposure and of course stress can all be contributors to poor sperm quality. In addition, other biological factors such as sperm antibodies, auto immune system, chromosome defect, mumps, testicular trauma, varicocele or tumour may be at play.
Taking the relevant tests is highly recommend to assess sperm quality and of course, paying attention to lifestyle, exercises, diet can help improve viability. Holistic treatments such as acupuncture and reiki can help improve the sperm quality, reduce stress and increase stamina.
