Male infertility is a common issue, but men are often less likely than women to seek treatment. Sponsored by EvergreenHealth.<\/p>\n

\n

Male infertility can be a difficult topic to discuss, but 1 in 7 couples experience issues getting pregnant. More than half of these cases are due to issues with male fertility.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cInfertility is a lot more common than people think because most people don\u2019t really talk about it,\u201d said Dr. Kevin Ostrowski, a board-certified urologist at\u00a0EvergreenHealth Urology Care.<\/p>\n

\n

Dr. Ostrowski has special expertise in male infertility and says that men are often less likely to discuss fertility with friends or get the care they need.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cMen, a lot of times, from their high school physical until they get a colonoscopy, go into this dead zone of healthcare,\u201d Dr. Ostrowski said. \u201cThey don\u2019t really seek care. From a fertility standpoint, we see some of those men for lots of reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Infertility is defined as the inability to have children after a year of unprotected intercourse. For older couples or for those wanting to have multiple children, getting evaluated sooner can be beneficial.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Evaluations for men often consist of a discussion of medical history and a semen analysis. The analysis can provide a great deal of information about fertility potential. Male infertility usually occurs because of low sperm production, abnormal sperm function, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Lifestyle factors, like stress and unhealthy eating, can impact fertility. Injury, illness, and chronic conditions may also be the cause of infertility. A doctor can provide a potential diagnosis and treatment options.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cThe evaluation and treatment for a lot of couples is not nearly as involved as they may think,\u201d Dr. Ostrowski said.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Some common infertility treatments include hormone therapy, antibiotics to treat an underlying infection or surgery, especially after a previous vasectomy. While not all infertility is preventable, taking steps toward a healthier lifestyle may help improve fertility. Those steps include not using drugs or nicotine, maintaining a healthy weight and avoiding exposure to pesticides and heavy metals.\u00a0<\/p>\n
