Written By Jeremiah Hassel – US News Reporter
Men are just as likely to experience infertility as women and there are around eight different factors which can lead to them having low sperm counts, Dr. Jane Frederick has told The Mirror online magazine.
Infertility is a common issue in the US – but what are the factors which can add to your risk of a low sperm count?
Approximately one in every six American couples struggles with conception, according a specialist — and men are just as likely to be a part of the issue as women.
Dr Jane Frederick, the medical director at HRC Fertility and an affiliate of Keck Medicine at the University of Southern California, said that around 10% of American men trying to conceive may be suffering from infertility.
Conception is a team effort, Dr Frederick said, and both partners can be equally at risk for infertility. “The best way to find out if you have a problem is to go seek out a specialist,” she told The Mirror.
