Experts stress that infertility is not just a woman\u2019s concern, male sexual health plays a crucial role, and awareness is the first step toward solutions.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\"><strong>The Overlooked Factor: Male Sexual Health<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Dr Sulbha Arora, Clinical Director and Fertility Specialist, Nova IVF Fertility, Andheri, Mumbai, highlights that male sexual health is often ignored in discussions on infertility. \u201cMale sexual health issues influence male fertility, and conditions like hormonal imbalance, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, and untreated sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can contribute to male infertility,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">According to Dr. Arora, if left untreated, these issues can lower the chances of conception significantly. \u201cWe observe at least 6 out of 10 couples coming in with male sexual health or male infertility issues,&#8221; she adds, emphasizing the urgency of recognizing these concerns early.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><strong>Lifestyle and Environmental Triggers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">Male infertility is not only about medical conditions but is deeply linked to lifestyle and environmental factors. Dr. Arora points out that obesity, stress, smoking, poor diet, irregular sleep schedules, and lack of exercise all contribute to hormonal imbalance, which directly impacts reproductive health. The result can be a reduction in sperm count, poor sperm quality, and difficulties in conceiving.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\">She further warns that excessive exposure to heat from laptops and prolonged mobile phone usage has been linked to declining sperm motility and concentration. Left unchecked, some conditions, such as untreated infections or varicocele, may cause irreversible damage.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><strong>A Rising Concern Among Young Adults<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\">Adding to this perspective, Dr. Varsha Agarwal, Consultant, Fertility &amp; IVF Specialist, Motherhood Fertility &amp; IVF, Noida, observes that infertility is no longer limited to older couples. \u201cEven young men and women in their 20s and 30s are struggling,&#8221; she says. \u201cThere is a surge in infertility and sexual health problems across the country.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\">Dr. Agarwal stresses that silence around these issues only worsens the situation. \u201cCouples often fail to discuss these problems, which can lead to miscommunication in relationships. A lack of awareness, combined with myths and social taboos, prevents timely action,&#8221; she explains.<\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\">She notes that male infertility contributes to nearly half of all infertility cases, while conditions such as erectile dysfunction, hormonal imbalance, and untreated STIs in men\u2014as well as PCOS, irregular menstrual cycles, or recurrent miscarriages in women\u2014are also common.<\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><strong>Warning Signs That Shouldn\u2019t Be Ignored<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"12\" class=\"story_para_12\">Both experts emphasize the importance of recognizing symptoms early. Persistent loss of intimacy, pain, lack of sexual desire, irregular menstrual cycles, or pelvic pain should not be dismissed. Yet, due to fear of judgment, many couples delay seeking help.<\/p>\n<p id=\"13\" class=\"story_para_13\">\u201cMany men who suffer from sexual health issues often feel embarrassed or fearful to seek medical information,&#8221; Dr. Arora points out. \u201cThis hesitation exacerbates existing problems and delays effective treatment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"14\" class=\"story_para_14\">Dr. Agarwal adds, \u201cToo many people ignore warning signs until the situation becomes serious. It is crucial to promote reproductive and sexual health and encourage open conversations for timely management of these issues.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"15\" class=\"story_para_15\"><strong>Modern Solutions for Parenthood<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"16\" class=\"story_para_16\">Fortunately, advancements in fertility treatments now offer hope to struggling couples. Dr Agarwal highlights options such as Intrauterine Insemination (IUI), Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT), In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), fertility preservation for cancer patients, and Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). \u201cIt is necessary to seek the help of a fertility consultant for the appropriate procedure suitable for the couple and fulfill the dream of parenthood,&#8221; she advises.<\/p>\n<p id=\"17\" class=\"story_para_17\">Dr Arora echoes the importance of timely consultation. \u201cIf men recognize the link between sexual health and fertility, it provides insight into the measures needed to actively seek consultation, reduce delays in diagnosis and treatment, and improve their chances of fatherhood.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p id=\"18\" class=\"story_para_18\"><strong>Breaking the Stigma<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"19\" class=\"story_para_19\">Both specialists agree on one essential takeaway: infertility and sexual health issues must be spoken about openly, without shame. \u201cWe need to educate the public, create safe spaces for discussion, and eliminate stigma so that men feel empowered to seek medical assistance,&#8221; Dr. Arora emphasizes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"20\" class=\"story_para_20\">Dr. Agarwal concludes, \u201cWhat we need most is awareness, open conversation, and breaking the stigma, so couples don\u2019t wait until it\u2019s too late to seek help.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Swati Chaturvedi\" title=\"Swati Chaturvedi\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2023\/11\/swati-chaturvedi-2023-11-311a7f6229417d5d5693180448c9311a-scaled.jpg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/swati-chaturvedi-22519.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Swati Chaturvedi<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Swati Chaturvedi, a seasoned media and journalism aficionado with over 10 years of expertise, is not just a storyteller; she&#8217;s a weaver of wit and wisdom in the digital landscape.
