MAX MORNING: Prevention is cure – Dr. Ackom on infertility in men

Date:

Men don’t frequently visit the hospital for examinations, and in the worst circumstances, men don’t feel comfortable being treated by female gynecologists. Doctor Blaise Ackom stated on the Max Morning Show that “prevention is cure” and that finding therapy should not be delayed until after an infection has occurred.

A male must have had unprotected, three-times-per-week sex with a woman who is not using family planning for a full year in order to be considered infertile and have been unable to conceive through that method.

The likelihood of male infertility is 30%. The hormone testosterone, which is mostly produced in the testes, can create low sperm counts depending on its temperature. Testes have a distinct temperature. He said that each male should have roughly 20 million sperm in 1 milliliter of fluid.

The doctor continued by saying that although the ureter’s tubes might be clogged, the testes can still generate sperm. Sperm production is typically inhibited by infections; aberrant sperm include those with two heads and those that are not straight. Due to the heat, men who wear tight underwear risk infertility.

Men should protect themselves by getting frequent checks and avoiding excessive heat near their tetes, the doctor suggested, as this is a key contributor to male infertility.
