Infertility remains the quiet, private epidemic, that hides behind bedroom doors, rather than out in the open, where it ought to be. One in five couples will experience it, so it’s far from rare, and yet… how many have discussed the problem openly with their peers? Despite making up half of all infertility issues, fewer still seem to be talking about it on the men’s side, leaving behind a dearth of knowledge into how small lifestyle changes, can significantly improve sperm count. Smoking, cannabis use, high fat diets, alcohol, TRT, various common place chemicals, and medical treatments, can all have detrimental effects on fertility, yet so many do not know, and engage with such things without any understanding of the long term harm it can cause. So too this deafening silence around infertility in men, leads to a huge lack of treatment options. Sadly, for 50% of impacted men, there are no treatments at all, with countless men confined to a life without biological children. But this could be about to change, with new, innovative treatments, where even men who are unable to produce sperm at all, might someday be able to regain the ability to have children. So let’s talk about it. Let’s talk about the impact of infertility, let’s talk about how lifestyle changes can improve sperm count, let’s encourage men to seek help from reproductive specialists, and let’s champion the new treatments that might be just around the corner… What do you think? ~ Full TED Talk here! https://tinyurl.com/5e69uyzj
