Men see drastic drop in sperm count, study finds

Get ready, ladies and gentlemen: We lack sperm.

A new study shows that male infertility has exploded – the number of men seeking treatment has been multiplied by seven and sperm quality has dropped significantly over the last 15 years.

"This is a public health problem," said Ashley Tiegs, Principal Investigator of the Seed Study.

During the weekend, she spoke to the Daily Mail about the results, which should be presented Monday at the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in Denver.

His team analyzed samples from fertility centers in the United States and Spain between 2002 and 2017.

"The total number of motile sperm has proven to be more productive for the outcome of pregnancy," Tiegs said. "This has also been correlated with embryo development and expansion pathways. We wanted to know if the total count of motile spermatozoa was affected and if it declined, what would be the consequences?

The Tiegs team not only found that the number of men seeking treatment had increased from 8,000 to 60,000 during this period, but the sperm count had also decreased.

In addition, the rate of men-related IVF cases has increased – and is expected to increase further.

"We did not expect to find that the downward trend in sperm count has a real impact on treatment," said Tiegs.
