"When it comes to fertility treatment, women always seem to be the focal point - but how can male fertility be given a boost?"
"Studies have shown that sperm counts are declining worldwide, with one recent review of global trends showing an average fall of 1.2pc per year between 1973 and 2018, from 104 to 49 million/ml."
"While there are many theories, there is still no definitive explanation for why this is happening, says embryologist Graham Coull, group scientific director at Sims IVF."
Female patients often receive primary attention during fertility treatment while male factors receive less focus. Global sperm counts have fallen substantially, with an average decline of 1.2% per year between 1973 and 2018, decreasing from 104 to 49 million/ml. Numerous hypotheses have been proposed to explain the decline, including environmental, lifestyle, and health-related causes. No single definitive explanation has been identified for the worldwide decrease in sperm counts. Medical and public-health responses are increasingly considering male reproductive health, and research continues to explore interventions to prevent further declines and support men facing fertility challenges.
