GENERAL

Infertility is a growing global concern, and in these times getting pregnant is not only a challenge, but with growing concerns regarding polluting and harmful chemicals in food,
knowing what to do and not to do to remain fertile is quite scary.

Stats from the Infertility Association of South Africa (IFAASA) shows that one in six couples struggle with fertility.
Studies show that in 40% of cases where couples are unable to conceive, the “problem” is the male element,
40% is attributed to the female element and the remaining 20% is attributed to joint “problems” where there is a combination of fertility issues is the male and female collectively.

The main causes for infertility in men are:

• Genetics
• Cancer and Chemotherapy
• Damage to reproductive organs
• Anti-Sperm antibodies, where sperm is attacked by the immune system
• Poor lifestyle habits, like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption and a poor diet
• Environmental factors like pollution and chemicals contained in daily food substances

Whilst the above seems scary, studies have shown that in 20% of cases where couples are unable to conceive there is simply no medical explanation.

This leads to the next question:

When should I consider taking a pro-active approach toward an inability to conceive? According to IFAASA three out of five couples conceive within six months of trying; one in four take between six months and a year. For the rest, conception takes more than a year which means that there may be a problem.

Whilst the above may sound all doom and gloom, sometimes a difficulty to conceive dos not mean you are infertile and that you will not be able to conceive.

Yes

• sometimes in serious cases you will not be able to conceive without being treated by a medical professional and perhaps even by undergoing surgery.

BUT

sometimes it simply comes down “fixable” issues like:

• Hormonal imbalances
• Lack of essential vitamins and nutrients
• And an overall unhealthy lifestyle.

THE GOOD NEWS IS – THIS CAN BE TREATED WITH FERTIPIL FOR MEN!!!
