A consulting urologist at Korle Bu University Hospital revealed that about 50% of Ghanaian men might not get a pregnant woman.

At the Joy Business Health and Wellness Trade Show in Accra, said Dr. Mathew Yamoah Kyei, many infertility problems in the country may be attributable to men and not to women, as is usually known.

"It has been discovered here in Ghana that almost 50% of men have a reason not to put a pregnant woman. In other words, men can be the reason why there is no pregnancy … in general, about 50% of men.

"So when we talk about fertility, men are more [guilty], He said during a discussion on the topic Redefining the Frontiers of Fertility.

Infertility is considered a stressful experience and a menacing crisis for couples from all cultures of the world. In developing countries like Ghana, nothing threatens infertility couple relationships.

In most cases, the woman is usually responsible for the inability of the couple to conceive despite the high prevalence of male infertility.

Dr. Kyei said the causes of the problem in men were varied, he said, while urging men to pay attention to their lifestyle in order to reverse the trend.

He said that the male sperm production unit acts as a factory and that "if something affects the plant, this can be a cause of infertility in the plant." man.

"Spermatozoa are very alive, they react to heat, stress [and] they respond to everything that happens to man. "

This means that any man subjected to a particular type of stress can have infertility problems because sperm will present the exact type of stress experienced by the man.

"Anything that makes testosterone low can affect the plant to be able to make the sperm and finally get the sperm moving."

Once the sperm is made, they will need to be driven to get into the woman, said Dr. Kyei, adding that anything that causes a lack of energy for the sperm will cause infertility.

"We talk about the temperature is important for sperm, it must be cold. In fact, that's the reason God removed the scrotum from the body because the body's normal temperature [37 degrees Celsius] is too hot for sperm.

"And people wear a lot of underpants, they work in hot environments … all of this can contribute to infertility," noted the specialist.
