Male Fertility

In order for a couple to optimise their chances of conceiving a healthy child it is important that both examine their diet and lifestyle prior to conception or treatment. Changing/ adapting lifestyles can not only increase fertility but can help to reduce complications with pregnancy for your partner.

Smoking

Smoking affects the quality of sperm. This potentially increases the number of abnormal sperm and reduces the motility of the sperm. If the quality is affected then fertilization of the egg may be reduced, decreasing chances of getting pregnant.

Drugs and Alcohol

Drugs and Alcohol also can affect the testicular and sexual function. This can also lead to the quality and motility of sperm being affected.
