Man and His Role in Conception

It takes two to conceive, and the health of your partner is significant. The man's fertility and how to increase the chances of a conception.

Does your man know that a good erection does not equal good fertility? In this article, I will talk about the role of a man in conception, what examinations should be done to check male reproductive health, and what can negatively affect it.

Does Simultaneous Orgasm Increase the Chances of Conception?

My dears, of course, I sincerely want to say yes as it’s cool when the logical conclusion in the form of orgasm in sexual partners occurs simultaneously. But studies conducted by a team of sexologists led by Kinsey have not confirmed this. I collected all the proven information on preparing a couple for conception in my WeMakeFamily course – preparation for pregnancy.

And the fact that the Queen Egg lets the best into her is a proven fact.

The parameters of this best are: the correct morphology (structure) and high sperm motility. And there should be a lot of them, beautiful and healthy, so that the strongest one will reach the egg. They should not stick too much to each other (agglutination) and should not “bathe” in inflammatory secretions.

What a Man Should Know About Erection and Fertility

I understand that for men it is painful and scary to realize the growing share of the male factor in infertility – I hate this term, but subfertility is mostly an unfamiliar term. However, you might find it comforting to know that poor sperm counts have nothing to do with sexual health, only with reproductive one. As practice shows, in the mind of an average man, a normal erection equals normal male health, and of course – that everything is fine with sperm.

According to statistics, the total sperm count in men worldwide has halved over the past 50 years. The degree of decline has its geographical features. Surely, countries with higher levels of environmental pollution have worse reproductive health indicators.

The number of motile sperm of class A and B decreases, and this is the class that can pass the mucus in the cervical canal. This is the first barrier on the way to the egg, which does not allow the weak ones to go further.

How a Man Can Check the Quality of His Sperm

Below are the rules for taking a spermogram. Note: these recommendations differ from the ones of laboratories.

Refraining before the test should be three days, five days may cause a false negative result.

No need to create artificially better results. For example, a man likes and drinks beer every day. Abstaining from this habit for a week before the sperm donation will lead to a false positive result. The same goes for excluding fast food, smoking marijuana and sports. It is important to get the real picture, not the desired instead of the real one.

The Main Causes of Sperm Quality Disorders

Civilizational diseases (acquired diabetes, arterial hypertension, depression)

It is important to exclude these conditions regardless of age. The number of cases of high blood pressure among men over 28 years of age is increasing. And as practice shows, men do not go to medical institutions for professional examination.

Varicocele not diagnosed in time

Balanoposthitis – inflammation of the head of your penis and foreskin

Sexually transmitted infections

Mumps in childhood

Genetic disorders

Chemotherapy of cancer

Other Causes

It is important to treat injuries of the groin area, hernias. At the same time, to regulate the lifestyle harmful to sperm – regular visits to the sauna, inactive lifestyle, regular consumption of beer and marijuana. And, of course, exclude hormonal disorders. Her majesty thyroid gland causes reproductive health disorders not only in Women but also in Men. Fertility is also impaired by a decrease in testosterone levels, especially among men who take testosterone and other hormones to increase muscle mass.

What tests to take to check man fertility?

Let’s start with a spermogram. Next:

Tests for sexually transmitted infections
  • PCR – chlamydia, gonorrhea;
  • If needed, bacterial test for ureaplasma and mycoplasma;
  • In pouch–trichomoniasis. Other methods are not so true. And hidden trichomoniasis is the predominant cause of frequent “thrush” in women.
