Understanding Male Fertility
Male fertility is influenced by a variety of factors, with sperm health contributing significantly to overall fertility challenges, accounting for 40% of infertility cases. Sperm has a delicate life cycle of approximately 90 days, making it particularly susceptible to environmental changes, diet, and lifestyle factors. There is a pressing need to address both male and female fertility equally since the traditional focus has leaned heavily towards women, often neglecting the male side of conception and its complexities. Routine semen analysis provides basic data on sperm presence and movement, but it fails to give a complete picture of sperm functionality and DNA integrity, necessitating comprehensive evaluations.
