– After a woman's age, male infertility is the most common cause for a couple of having
difficulty in conceiving. So in today's video we're gonna talk about the top 10 Sperm killers. I'll share with you the top factors that affect sperm health and some things to look out for in regards to male fertility. (gentle music) I'm Dr Shadi Khashaba, a fertility specialist with IVF Australia and I've helped both men and women over the last 10 years achieve their dreams of having a family. As a fertility specialist with an interest in male fertility factors, I know that male infertility affects around 40% of all infertile couples. Thanks to our evolving technology and expertise, we can diagnose the most common causes of male infertility and help find the right treatment option for you. When a couple experiences difficulties conceiving with a male factor involved, we start off by analyzing the male partner's sperm or semen analysis and overall lifestyle factors such as BMI and analyze the medical history and other lifestyle choices. When investigating male infertility a semen analysis is usually the first test a man will have. Understanding the results is therefore a crucial
step of the process. And will help to find the cause of why you've been unsuccessful in trying to conceive. But what information does a sperm analysis tell you? Well, if we start with the semen volume, the average volume of semen
produced at ejaculation is around 1.5 ml. That's what we need it at least to be. Motility and morphology, which is basically how many good looking swimmers are in the sample. And the total number of sperm in the whole ejaculate. A normal semen analysis results would show a sperm count of at least 40 million, with at least one third of those showing forward movement or good swimming movement. So what are the top factors, our top 10 factors that can diminish sperm count and or quality and prevent you from having a family sooner? (gentle music) All right. So we're gonna start with number one, which is smoking. Smoking definitely
affects men's fertility. And how does smoking affect actually fertility? Is by having an oxidative stress on the sperm. So when a sperm gets produced in the testicle and it passes through the production line, it gets attacked by a lot of oxidative stress or oxidants that damages the sperm DNA and hinders their swimming capacity. Not only that it can kill some of the sperm that is being ejaculated hence reduces the chances of them fertilizing the egg. (gentle music) And that will take us to number two, alcohol. Alcohol can affect men's fertility in multiple ways. The first thing that it can actually increases your estrogen level in the body. And by increasing your estrogen level that will affect two things. Sperm production and sexual function. So definitely limit alcohol intake or to moderate amounts. One or two standard drinks, once or twice a week. (gentle music) Number three. Recreational drugs. Studies have shown that smoking cannabis can actually affect the sperm's swimming capacity. So they become a bit dizzy when you produce the sperm and they can't find the egg. (gentle music) Steroids have been major, has major impact on sperm production. When you provide your body with excess testosterone or steroids, the testicles stop producing its own testosterone. And hence it stops producing the sperm production too. So that definitely has a great impact on your fertility potential. The fourth point: Excess weight. When men accumulate body fat especially around the tummy area, this fat doesn't stay idle. It's actually hormonally active. And it transform your body's testosterone into estrogen. And that also has detrimental effects on sperm production. Not only that. Excess fat around the thigh areas and the pubic area can reduce the ventilation and the aeration of the scrotum and the testicle. So it will be warmer down there. And we know that warm temperatures is no good for sperm production. And that will bring me to that fifth point: Bad diet. We all know that healthy diet can actually improve
your fertility potential, especially Mediterranean Diet, which is rich in antioxidants and essential oils that is necessary for sperm productions. And of course, we look at your past medical conditions or history. If you had undescended testicle, when you were a child and then didn't necessarily do a surgery to bring it down. So hernias, any operation
in the pelvic area or previous STIs. So it was just chlamydia or gonorrhea or history of severe trauma that you had a road traffic accident or a motorbike accidents. Those are definitely gonna affect your sperm production. But the seventh killer is acute viral illness. Which is actually like severe cold. Or you got mumps virus. These can actually increase your body temperature and can halt sperm production. The effect could last up to 72 or 90 days, and that's where actually the sperm production cycle takes. So any of intervention about your health, will take around 70 to 90 days to find the results of your lifestyle changes. Bring me to the eighth point: exposure to chemicals or toxins. Certain workers in certain industries get exposed to harsh chemicals. And we know by either inhalation or contact through the skin, they can absorb some of those chemicals which can affect the sperm production. The ninth point: advanced paternal age. Recent studies shows that actually men's fertility drop by getting older. Not only that, certain genetic conditions can be more common as we get older for men. So do you have to freeze sperm when you're young. Maybe, maybe not. The jury is still out about that, but try to conceive as soon as you're
financially, psychologically and you have a partner and you're ready to start a family. And last but not least: hormonal problems of erectile and ejaculations difficulties. If you can't perform sexually, definitely there'll be a delivery problem. And definitely we can help you with this part either by using some tablets or medications that could help you with achieving an
erection and ejaculation. While these are all important factors to consider when trying for a baby, there are some myths that despite what you've might have heard, do not have an impact on your fertility. So I'm gonna go through a few of those myths and debunk them. Number one. Is tight clothes such as bike shorts will lower sperm counts. No, if you cycle for a very long period for many times during the day, yeah it might lower your sperm count. Stay away from hot tubs. Now come on, how many hours can you spend in a hot tub. An hour or two would not affect your sperm count. Cell phones and laptops will lower sperm quantity. None of that has been proven. Too much coffee can kill your sperm. Not really. Actually they've been some studies that showed men who consume more than four cups of coffee can have higher sperm swimming capacity. Another myth is being hit in the groin during sports will affect your ability to have children. Now, everyone plays sports and something happened in the past. Not necessarily, unless it was severe injury that caused a trauma to the testicle that needed hospitalization and surgery. (gentle music) Sperm only survives an
hour after ejaculation. Not true at all. Actually sperm survives seven days after ejaculation in the woman's body. And they take their time to find the egg and just wait for the egg to ovulate. And then they start fertilizing the egg and they move to implant inside the uterus.

I need serious help how to remove spern within 5hours?
If we decide to plan 1 night to go out on the town and have drinks 1 time every two weeks, would that greatly affect the health/quality of the sperm in the 90 day cycle it takes to regenerate?
Me and my husband have one baby. He's 1 years old and now we're having a hard time getting pregnant again. I keep saying it's him because I've had a baby before so I think it's my husband. I don't think he has healthy sperm. Every time the c** goes inside it just trinkles back out like water. It's not thick and creamy. Where does he need to go to raise his sperm count higher to get me pregnant
according to my Observation of Earth and sperm related behaviors 'with the specifics' of,.. female,.. Human beings… "this is just sperm quality" . that said, what then is good sperm quality? Well according to El-Mastero, it "IS" H+ concentration within threshold and out = bad as in > H+ concentrations….. Extrapolate! (H+ concentrations on sperm quality)…💪💪🎶🎶🙍♂🙍♂👁👁🧬🧬🪄🪄😉😉🤖🤖👍👍🔬🔬⚡⚡ on topic: so what kills sperm? the nutrophil method – hypochlorous acid not an explosion or inflammation. so then what does this mean – well it means anything that dissolves sperm will kill it and this is what is likely happening with the average sperm killing substance..
I'm in South Africa 🇿🇦, I have seen men who drink traditional beer and who are smokers making more than 6 children. Which alcohol is dangerous? Are we referring to spirits and whiskey 🥃?
Hello sir 2.5 ml seman inside 3 drop watar kil sparm?
How come I can't find any reliable footage of sperm from a smoker? Is it possible that it is all BS? I mean all smokers manage to get a baby at some point. My man smokes half a pack a day and we have been trying for 9 cycles and no luck but he doesn't want to quit yet so now I am asking him to get a sperm test and I am very curious. I really want him to quit but he is severely addicted.
So smoking cannabis is bad but what about edibles or tinctures? Is it the cannabis or is it the delivery method?
I have a hernia. Should I be worried? My wife and I are trying to have a baby now.

I am 49 years old from Nigeria. My testicles grow smaller over time as I grow up. I have been married for 17 years now without a child. Kindly help
Dr you conveniently skimmed over cell phone in the pocket/laptop by just a statement “not proven” which does not debunk this myth. there is a pattern to be noted. The radiation can cause abnormal shaped sperm.
Very informative. Thank you for the video. My bro-in-law is considered obese and he's been popping kids left and right. Guess he's one lucky dude lol.
Very educational 👏👏

Pls when im older i will stay away from men now
father Has 7 brothers and Sisters. He had 4 Sons (and one daughter).
Mother is one of 3.
Both sets of their parents came from large families.
Daughter gave birth to a daughter but endured 4 miscarriages.
None of the Sons have been able to conceive. All have tried conceiving with (at least) one partner in a committed relationship for (at least) 5yrs. Only one smokes, 3 are vegetarian, all are in all other aspects of life fit and healthy.
'Something' has happened. Statistically it doesn't make sense. This is a common trend with millennials.
The population collapse is not voluntary or arbitrary.
What can I do about this I am in Nigeria
Most of this is Bullshit Mediterranean men have some of the lowest sperm counts. My sperm count is 505million 76million concentraition with high motilty and they still try to not blame the woman 9 times out of 10 its the woman they have complicated bodies. So many things wrong endometriosis, blockage of tubes, age its the new motive to try and blame men.
What are the food to avoid when you low sperm count 😊
Sometimes if I have sex I don't ejaculate sometimes it comes but if it comes to once takes two days or 3 days sometimes one week before it will come again
Couldn't be more happy for being able to finally cure my HSV with herbal items from Dr okosun here on you tube 🌿🌿
I have erectile disfunction issue, me and my wife want to plan a baby, so if i take a sex medicine like:- megalis Tadalafil or viagra to complete intercourse with my wife so will it impact on sperm count/health?? Will my wife get conceive without any issue??
My husband a smoker, alcohol intaker and man that eating and drinking lots of sweet and we are trying to convince but don't work.
I think it’s funny that smoking weed makes the sperm come out high and can’t find the egg meanwhile drinking 4 cups of coffee a day causes the sperm to be caffeined out and swim faster to the egg 😂😂😂
Are there effects of masturbating 😢😢
Hello Doctor,
My age is 28 and weight around 100. My ejaculation is watery since 9 months. Can i increase my sperm density. If yes what i should do for that.
Please reply, this issue is impacting my mental health
