Male infertility is directly related to the level of stress

Psychological stress is a clear risk factor for impaired fertility in men due to the deterioration in the quality of sperm, say scientists. Consequently, couples who want to have a baby must first take care of the mental state, reports The Times of India.

Stress is harmful to sperm, negatively affects sperm concentration, its appearance and the ability to fertilize an egg. The greater the stress, the lower the sperm in the ejaculate. Moreover, the increased risk violates the motility of the sperm, according to a study at Columbia University.

Due to stress releases hormones glucocorticoids, which can reduce the level of testosterone and sperm production. Another reason - oxidative stress negatively affecting the quality of the seed. This proved survey of 193 men between 38-49 years of age.

Men passed tests that evaluate the level of stress caused by work and other influences. Take into account the general condition and the actual events that can lead to stress. Both objective and subjective stress impairs the quality of sperm. Noteworthy: unemployed men had reduced sperm quality compared to working men, regardless of the level of stress at work.
