The Maxhim Guide to Male Fertility
Increase your fertility with Maxhim
If you and your partner have been trying to get pregnant for over a year, there may a problem with your fertility. When the problem is identified with the man, it is referred to as male infertility and accounts for a third of reported infertility cases.
Define: Male Infertility
A man is diagnosed to have male infertility when there is a problem with his ejaculation or his sperm count . When the male can’t release semen in order to impregnate a woman, he may be suffering from:
• Erectile dysfunction
• Premature ejaculation
• Retrograde ejaculation
• Complications from surgery or radiation therapy
What causes male infertility?
A low sperm count (or no sperm at all) may be caused by severe mumps infection, hormonal disorder, hereditary factors or infections. Low sperm count may also be triggered by wearing tight and restrictive underwear, excessive use of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs, and exposure to radiation or poisonous chemicals. If you think you may have a low sperm test, you can perform a simple home fertility test because sometimes just a few 'tweaks' is all you need to improve your health and sperm motility.
Poor diet can also contribute to male infertility, including deficiency in vitamin C and zinc in your diet. Proxeed is a dietary supplement specially formulated for men - with proven results. Some sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea can damage the spermatic ducts and cause you some reproductive problems; spreading these STIs to your partner can also make her infertile.
Some medications are also believed to be causes of male fertility, including cancer-treating agents such as chemotherapy, anti-fungal medication, some forms of antibiotics and anabolic steroids.

If you and the missus have been trying to get pregnant for over a year, you should see a doctor immediately. If you don’t want to do that, or if you are beginning to plan for a baby and want to know in advance of any fertility problems, there are home test kits available to buy from most pharmacies.
If you use a lubricant whilst love-making, make sure it is a sperm friendly lubricant, as many main-stream brands actually hinder the motility of your sperm and in some cases even kill sperm.
Is it treatable?
Yes! In fact, more than 50% of male infertility cases can be rectified. There are medications, antibiotics and hormones that you can take to aid sperm production. Also, try wearing loose clothing like boxers and avoid hot tubs, saunas and long showers as all of these increases the temperature of your scrotum and can affect sperm production. Other treatments include in vitro fertilization (IVF), artificial insemination or sperm donation; all of which are effective but expensive and invasive procedures are may only be used as a last resort.
Generally, male infertility can be treated, but small changes to your lifestyle such as avoiding drugs, alcohol and stress will all boost your fertility.
Live a healthy lifestyle, and remember, making a baby is the fun part!
