The great decrease in sperm count in recent years
In 40-90% of cases, the cause of male infertility is deficient sperm production. Studies have shown a significant 58% decrease in sperm count over the last 50 years.
An analysis of over 100 published studies shows a significant trend of decreasing sperm density over the last 60 years, especially in the USA and Europe/Australia (-1-3% per year).
Male infertility can have many causes. Genetics, stress, changes in life patterns and dietary habits all lead to a dramatic reduction in sperm cell production and quality. The wish to have a child is still denied to around 15% of all couples, even after one year of unprotected sexual intercourse.
