What is Male Infertility?
Infertility itself is generally defined as the inability to achieve
a pregnancy after one year of regular intercourse without contraception.
This means that a doctor will usually send a couple away if they have
been trying for less than one year and tell them to 'let nature take
its course'. Whilst medically justifiable this can be quite distressing
for couples who often become concerned when trying for only a few
months without success.
Men that are investigated for infertility have to send a sample of
their semen to the laboratory for semen analysis. Results usually
take a few days. Fortunately you can now do a simple screening test
at home and so not have to wait until your doctor is prepared to test
you. This also has the advantage of being discreet because it is done
in your own home and no-one else need know about it. We know that
doctors maintain confidences but it is scary to think we might see
someone we know when we go to the hospital clinic!
A man is considered at risk of infertility if his sperm count is less
than 20 million per ml and probably sterile if his sperm count is
less than 500,000 per ml.
Men should consider testing themselves if they have taken body building
drugs, smoke excessively, drink alcohol excessively, take extreme
exercise, have hazardous and stressful jobs (for example deep sea
diving), use DDT metabolite pesticides as part of their jobs (fruit
farmers and flower growers), have had a sexually transmitted disease,
had mumps as a child, or have had a traumatic injury to the testicles.
Men's Fertility Increases With Boost In
Sperm Production
To get a sense of the vital role of a healthy, abundant
volume of sperm ejaculate in men, let's take a look at how male
climax works.
Male orgasm happens at the peak of sexual pleasure,
when the various muscle groups contract simultaneously: rhythmic
contractions of the pubococcygeus muscle (pc muscle) occur along
with contractions of the anal sphincter, rectum and perineum, and
the ejaculatory ducts and muscles around the penis. The contracting
muscles are the key to delivering the load of semen. The first few
contractions are intense and close together, occurring at about
0.8-second intervals. As orgasm continues, the contractions diminish
in intensity and duration and occur at less frequent intervals.
However, the larger the volume of fluid and sperm
that's available for each orgasm, the more contractions it takes
to shoot all of it -- and each contraction is stronger and more
intense.
That's why several products have hit the market
recently that are specifically designed to increase the volume of
ejaculate. Some products emphasize more the man's ability to impress
a partner (and himself) with a larger, more manly load. But one
notable exception emphasizes not just the greater pleasure of climaxing
with more semen, but also to increase the chances of conception
in couples. Semenax™,
one of our recommended products has been used by many men to increase
their sperm production to boost their fertility. Other formulations
like
Maximum Pills, VolumePills,
Ogoplex ,
Roplex and
Enzyte also increase the amount of ejaculate and the number
of ejaculation squirts during a single male orgasm. These products
have proven beneficial to many childless couples besides providing
a better quality sex life to them.
The male sexual system is a complex interplay of
many different parts; for maximum pleasure, each must be working
in top order at the right time. A good quality male supplement should
also enhance the function of each of these vital parts of a man's
reproductive system:
- Ejaculatory Ducts:
The path through the seminal glands which semen travels during
ejaculation.
- Epididymis:
The epididymis is a 'holding pen' where sperm produced by the
seminiferous tubules mature. The sperm wait here until ejaculation.
- Testes, Testicles:
The two testes within the scrotum produce sperm and testosterone.
Within each testis is a kilometer (!) of ducts called the seminiferous
tubules, the organs which generate sperm.
- Prostate Gland:
Also produces a fluid that makes up the semen. The prostate gland
also squeezes shut the urethral duct to the bladder, thus preventing
urine from mixing with the semen and disturbing the pH balance
required by sperm.
- Seminal Vesicles:
The seminal vesicles produce semen, a fluid that activates and
protects the sperm after it has left the penis during ejaculation.
- Vas Deferens:
The ducts leading from the epididymis to the seminal vesicles.
Although "volume" capsules and tablets have the
specific purpose of increasing sperm and semen production/amount,
we feel it's important to always consider overall male sexual health
with any program you decide to pursue.
For some men, the issue of improved potency and
fertility is very important as well. If this is of concern to you,
look for a supplement that increases both volume of fluid AND quantity
and health of sperm. Your load will be not only bigger, more impressive
and more pleasurable, but more potent as well. Again, Semenax™
scores high across both categories.
The volume tablets may include amino acids (the
building blocks of protein) plus herbal concentrates from China,
Europe and South America. Look for ingredients that have been proven
over decades or even hundreds of years of experience to stimulate
sexual activity and increase semen and sperm production in the testis.
Some of the listings you'll see include:
- L-ARGININE HCL
Studies show sperm and semen volume doubles, fertility improves
(even among men with low sperm counts or poor sperm motility),
and sperm health and activity increase with supplementation.
- L-LYSINE
Researchers find that this amino acids plus zinc increases sperm
produced, stimulates testosterone production, and improves semen
quality.
- EPIMEDIUM SAGITTATUM
Sometimes called "horny goat weed," this botanical boosts libido
and testosterone levels for greater sperm production.
- ZINC OXIDE
Has been shown to increase number of sperm and sperm motility
by 80% to 200% by aiding testosterone synthesis.
- L-CARNITINE
This amino acid is found in high concentrations in healthy sperm.
Proven to significantly increase the percentage of highly motile
sperm.
- CATUABA BARK
Brazilian herb that strengthens the libido, and nourishes the
entire male reproductive system.
- PUMPKIN SEED
Supports prostate health and hormonal production.
- MACA
A legendary South American botanical proven to
promote libido, potency and energy.
