Studies have shown that chronic stress can be associated with a lowered total sperm count and impaired semen quality.

Israeli scientists found men are 47% more likely to have swimmers with weak motility if they are under intense pressure. The men had an average age of 32, which, is the average age for first time fathers in the UK. Weak motility – known to be affected by lifestyle choices – makes it less likely that the sperm will successfully fertilise an egg.

The researchers found that men who experienced two or more stressful life events in the past year had a lower percentage of sperm motility and a lower percentage of sperm of normal morphology.

Men who experienced two or more stressful life events had lower sperm quality than men who did not experience any stressful life events, according to researchers. Just two months of stress may damage a man’s sperm and slash his chances of having children, a new study suggests.

The main cause of male infertility is sperm abnormalities, which include low sperm production. Medical conditions – such as Ejaculation problems, can lead to sperm abnormalities, as well as health and lifestyle factors
