Neglected male fertility: Only 3 out of 10 men are qualified!

Recent data shows that the situation of a sperm storage bank in China is worrying, with only 2-3 out of every 10 sperm donors meeting the quality standards. Research data confirms that over the past 15 years, the sperm concentration of normal men has decreased by about 30%. These figures indicate a serious challenge to male fertility in China. International studies have also found that the quality of perm has been declining globally for nearly half a century.

The internationally recognized gold standard for assessing male fertility is the duration it takes for conception, known as the waiting time for pregnancy, during which the wife does not use contraception. WHO data shows that for regular couples, the chances of conception within 12 months of regular intercourse without contraception are about 85%, and within 24 months, about 93% to 95%. If pregnancy does not occur after trying for more than a year, the male's fertility is considered low.

Male fertility includes both sexual and reproductive capabilities. Sexual dysfunction and sperm abnormalities are the main causes of low male fertility. Sexual dysfunction can lead to obstacles in sperm transport, and as aging, not only does the spermatogenic function of the testes decline, but infections in the reproductive system can also affect sperm quality and the patency of the vas deferens.

Any factor or disease that interferes with these processes will affect male fertility. Sexual dysfunction and sperm abnormalities are the main causes, while diseases such as genetic mutations, chromosomal abnormalities, and couples carrying mutations of Mediterranean anemia genes may also affect fertility.

Dr. Nathan Zhang, an expert in the field of assisted reproduction and founder of IVF USA, has proposed a solution to chromosomal abnormalities. He points out that most miscarriages in women are due to chromosomal abnormalities. The third-generation IVF-PGT technology, also known as pre-implantation genetic diagnosis/screening (PGD/PGS) in the United States, analyzes the genetic material of embryos before implantation to diagnose abnormalities and select healthy embryos for transplantation, effectively preventing the transmission of genetic diseases.

In the process of reproduction, the role of men is equally crucial. Whether through natural conception or through IVF, male fertility directly affects the success of reproduction. For couples planning to solve fertility problems through IVF, the quality of male sperm is an important factor affecting the success rate. The quantity, vitality, morphology, and DNA integrity of sperm directly affect the quality of embryos and thus the success of pregnancy.
