INFERTILITY

Overview

If you and your partner are struggling to have a baby, you're not alone. In the United States, 10% to 15% of couples are infertile. Infertility is defined as not being able to get pregnant despite having frequent, unprotected sex for at least a year for most couples.

Infertility may result from an issue with either you or your partner, or a combination of factors that prevent pregnancy. Fortunately, there are many safe and effective therapies that significantly improve your chances of getting pregnant.

Symptoms

The main symptom of infertility is not getting pregnant. There may be no other obvious symptoms. Sometimes, a woman with infertility may have irregular or absent menstrual periods. In some cases, a man with infertility may have some signs of hormonal problems, such as changes in hair growth or sexual function.

Most couples will eventually conceive, with or without treatment.

When to see a doctor

You probably don't need to see a doctor about infertility unless you have been trying regularly to get pregnant for at least one year. Women should talk with a doctor earlier, however, if they:

• Are age 35 or older and have been trying to conceive for six months or longer
• Are over age 40
• Have irregular or absent periods
• Have very painful periods
• Have known fertility problems
• Have been diagnosed with endometriosis or pelvic inflammatory disease
• Have had multiple miscarriages
• Have undergone treatment for cancer

Men should talk to a doctor if they have:

• A low sperm count or other problems with sperm
• A history of testicular, prostate or sexual problems
• Undergone treatment for cancer
• Small testicles or swelling in the scrotum
• Others in your family with infertility problems

Causes

• 

  Fertilization and implantation

• 

  Male reproductive system

• 

  Female reproductive system

All of the steps during ovulation and fertilization need to happen correctly in order to get pregnant. Sometimes the issues that cause infertility in couples are present at birth, and sometimes they develop later in life.

Infertility causes can affect one or both partners. In general:

• In about one-third of cases, there is an issue with the man
• In about one-third of cases, there is an issue with the woman
• In the remaining cases, there are issues with both the man and the woman, or no cause can be found

Causes of male infertility

These may include:

• Abnormal sperm production or function due to undescended testicles, genetic defects, health problems such as diabetes, or infections such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, mumps or HIV. Enlarged veins in the testes (varicocele) also can affect the quality of sperm.
• Problems with the delivery of sperm due to sexual problems, such as premature ejaculation; certain genetic diseases, such as cystic fibrosis; structural problems, such as a blockage in the testicle; or damage or injury to the reproductive organs.
• Overexposure to certain environmental factors, such as pesticides and other chemicals, and radiation. Cigarette smoking, alcohol, marijuana, anabolic steroids, and taking medications to treat bacterial infections, high blood pressure and depression also can affect fertility. Frequent exposure to heat, such as in saunas or hot tubs, can raise body temperature and may affect sperm production.
• Damage related to cancer and its treatment, including radiation or chemotherapy. Treatment for cancer can impair sperm production, sometimes severely.

Causes of female infertility

Causes of female infertility may include:

• Ovulation disorders, which affect the release of eggs from the ovaries. These include hormonal disorders such as polycystic ovary syndrome. Hyperprolactinemia, a condition in which you have too much prolactin — the hormone that stimulates breast milk production — also may interfere with ovulation. Either too much thyroid hormone (hyperthyroidism) or too little (hypothyroidism) can affect the menstrual cycle or cause infertility. Other underlying causes may include too much exercise, eating disorders or tumors.
• Uterine or cervical abnormalities, including abnormalities with the cervix, polyps in the uterus or the shape of the uterus. Noncancerous (benign) tumors in the uterine wall (uterine fibroids) may cause infertility by blocking the fallopian tubes or stopping a fertilized egg from implanting in the uterus.
• Fallopian tube damage or blockage, often caused by inflammation of the fallopian tube (salpingitis). This can result from pelvic inflammatory disease, which is usually caused by a sexually transmitted infection, endometriosis or adhesions.
• Endometriosis, which occurs when endometrial tissue grows outside of the uterus, may affect the function of the ovaries, uterus and fallopian tubes.
• Primary ovarian insufficiency (early menopause), when the ovaries stop working and menstruation ends before age 40. Although the cause is often unknown, certain factors are associated with early menopause, including immune system diseases, certain genetic conditions such as Turner syndrome or carriers of Fragile X syndrome, and radiation or chemotherapy treatment.
• Pelvic adhesions, bands of scar tissue that bind organs that can form after pelvic infection, appendicitis, endometriosis or abdominal or pelvic surgery.
• Cancer and its treatment. Certain cancers — particularly reproductive cancers — often impair female fertility. Both radiation and chemotherapy may affect fertility.

Risk factors

Many of the risk factors for both male and female infertility are the same. They include:

• Age. Women's fertility gradually declines with age, especially in the mid-30s, and it drops rapidly after age 37. Infertility in older women is likely due to the lower number and quality of eggs, and can also be due to health problems that affect fertility. Men over age 40 may be less fertile than younger men.
• Tobacco use. Smoking tobacco or marijuana by either partner may reduce the likelihood of pregnancy. Smoking also reduces the possible effectiveness of fertility treatment. Miscarriages are more frequent in women who smoke. Smoking can increase the risk of erectile dysfunction and a low sperm count in men.
• Alcohol use. For women, there's no safe level of alcohol use during conception or pregnancy. Alcohol use may contribute to infertility. For men, heavy alcohol use can decrease sperm count and motility.
• Being overweight. Among American women, an inactive lifestyle and being overweight may increase the risk of infertility. For men, sperm count also may be affected by being overweight.
• Being underweight. Women at risk of fertility problems include those with eating disorders, such as anorexia or bulimia, and those who follow a very low-calorie or restrictive diet.
• Exercise issues. A lack of exercise contributes to obesity, which increases the risk of infertility. Less often, ovulation problems may be associated with frequent strenuous, intense exercise in women who are not overweight.

Prevention

Some types of infertility aren't preventable. But several strategies may increase your chances of pregnancy.

Couples

Have regular intercourse several times around the time of ovulation for the highest pregnancy rate. Intercourse beginning at least five days before and until a day after ovulation improves your chances of getting pregnant. Ovulation usually occurs in the middle of the cycle — halfway between menstrual periods — for most women with menstrual cycles about 28 days apart.

Men

Although most types of infertility aren't preventable in men, these strategies may help:

• Avoid drug and tobacco use and drinking too much alcohol, which may contribute to male infertility.
• Avoid high temperatures found in hot tubs and hot baths, as they can temporarily affect sperm production and motility.
• Avoid exposure to industrial or environmental toxins, which can affect sperm production.
• Limit medications that may impact fertility, both prescription and nonprescription drugs. Talk with your doctor about any medications you take regularly, but don't stop taking prescription medications without medical advice.
• Exercise moderately. Regular exercise may improve sperm quality and increase the chances for achieving a pregnancy.

Women

For women, a number of strategies may increase the chances of becoming pregnant:

• Quit smoking. Tobacco has many negative effects on fertility, not to mention your general health and the health of a fetus. If you smoke and are considering pregnancy, quit now.
• Avoid alcohol and street drugs. These substances may impair your ability to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy. Don't drink alcohol or use recreational drugs, such as marijuana, if you're trying to get pregnant.
• Limit caffeine. Women trying to get pregnant may want to limit caffeine intake. Ask your doctor for guidance on the safe use of caffeine.
• Exercise moderately. Regular exercise is important, but exercising so intensely that your periods are infrequent or absent can affect fertility.
• Avoid weight extremes. Being overweight or underweight can affect your hormone production and cause infertility.

INFECTIVE AGENTS CAUSING LOW SPERM COUNT

INFECTIVE AGENTS CAUSING LOW SPERM COUNT

Like in most leadership area of life in the world, men always want to be on top of issues. So also in infertility, men like to feel that they cannot be the cause, and this has  led  to very disastrous situations, they always feel that the problem is the women, so they refuse to do any test initially, because they will tell you that during their fling years they had impregnated not less than 5 girls especially when they where single and so cannot be the cause of the infertility, they do not realize that the only thing that cannot change in life is CHANGE itself, they may be okay 6 months ago but now they could be having severe low sperm count.

In my many years of practice, I have seen not one but many cases where a lady comes to the clinic for infertility, we spend so long  time testing her even when she is normal, however the husband refuses to come for any test until the lady crosses 35 years of age and now suffer  from fibroids and other hormonal problems, now she herself has now become a major cause of the infertility, when eventually the man comes for the test, we discover that he has low sperm count, if he had checked himself earlier and treatments done, the couple could have become pregnant and not fall into this situation. This must stop.

After scanning the scrotum of a male infertility patient so many years ago I was very frank with him and told him that from what I have seen, it will take a miracle for him to impregnate any women, that he should seek assisted reproductive techniques. It will look as if I was too firm, but I simply said  the truth, when he was young he had bilateral testicular torsions that was improperly treated and eventual led to the death of his testes, though before my scanning he never knew that his testes are just DEAD BALLS, they were very tiny and abnormal looking. As I am writing this article he has remained infertile with 0% sperm count.

Low sperm count also called OLIGOSPERMIA is one of the main causes of male infertility, it is considered that a man has low sperm count when he has less than 20 million spermatozoa per milliliter of ejaculate.

There are some men that are particularly prone to low sperm count, They include those that are:

[1] Being age 35 or older

[2] Smoking tobacco

[3] Abusing alcohol

[4] Using certain illegal drugs

[5] Being overweight

[6] Being underweight

[7] Having certain past or present infections

[8] Being exposed to toxins

[9] Overheating the testicles

[10] Having a prior vasectomy or vasectomy reversal

[11] Being born with a fertility disorder or having a blood relative with a fertility disorder

[12] Having certain medical conditions, including tumors and chronic illnesses

[13] Undergoing medical treatments, such as surgery or radiation for cancer

[14] Taking certain medications

[15] Bicycling for long periods, especially on a hard seat or poorly adjusted bicycle

[16] Have had a badly treated testicular torsion in the past

There are many reasons for low sperm count, but the most confirmed major reason is infection. Some infectious diseases that can lead to low sperm count are:

(a)              PROSTATITIS: This is the swelling and inflammation of the prostate gland, a walnut sized gland located directly below the bladder in men. The prostate gland produces fluid (SEMEN) that nourishes and transport sperm. Prostatitis often cause painful and difficult urination, pain in the joints, pelvic area and genitals and sometimes causes  fever like symptoms. Prostatitis can be caused by bacterial infections and  chronic prostatitis  can lead to low sperm count

(b)              EPIDIDYMITIS: This is a medical condition in which there is an inflammation of the epididymis (a curved structure at the back of the testicle in which sperm matures and is stored). This comprises gradual onset of testicular pains that can vary from mild to severe leading to the scrotum becoming red, warm and swollen. The major cause of epididymis is infection especially in sexually active men, where  Chlamydia trachomatis is the most frequent causative bacteria, other are E.coli, Niesseria Gonorrhea and staphylococcus aureus. Epididymitis is another major cause of low sperm count

(c)              ORCHITIS: This is an inflammation of one or both testicles, it is caused by bacteria, including sexually transmitted disease such as gonorrhea and Chlamydia or very resistant staphylococcus aureus. Orchitis often result from epididymis, in this case it is called epididymo-orchitis. Symptoms of orchitis are similar to those of testicular torsion, such as ejaculation of blood, hematuria (blood in urine), severe pain, visible swelling of a testicle or testicles and often the inguinal lymph modes in the affected side. Orchitis is a major cause of low sperm count.

STAPHYLOCOCCUS AUREUS AND LOW SPERM COUNT

Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus is a bacterial infection that is highly resistant to some antibiotics. Staphylococcus aureus  is a common type of bacteria that normally live on the skin and sometimes in the nasal passages of healthy people.

MRSA refers to Staph. aureus strains that do not respond to some of the antibiotics used to treat staph infections. The bacteria can cause infection when they enter the body through a cut, sore, catheter, or breathing tube. The infection can be minor and local (for example, a pimple), or more serious (involving the heart, lung, blood, or bone).Serious staph infections are more common in people with weak immune systems. This includes patients in hospitals and long-term care facilities and those receiving kidney dialysis.

Though staphylococcus aureus is not a venereal disease like Chlamydia or gonorrhea, but have been found in the laboratory samples of patients with low sperm count, indicating that they are also a cause of low sperm count especially in chronic stage. So like any other bacteria infection thorough treatment is necessary.

TESTS FOR LOW SPERM COUNT.

When a man suffers low sperm count or infertility, he must initially undergo series of  tests such as:

1. A)Seminal Fluid Analysis and Culture (SFA)

1. B)Urine m/c/s

1. C)Full Blood Count

1. D)Test to screen for Chlamydia

1. E)Scrotal testicular ultrasound scan

1. F)Hormonal profile test

TREATMENT

1. ANTIBIOTICS: If the infected is caused by bacteria (in the case of gonorrhea or Chlamydia, sexual partner must also be treated) even in case of staphylococcus aureus.

1. SPERM BOOSTERS: After treating infection. It does not mean that the sperm count will improve, so the sperm count has to be worked on to the improved them.

In cases of chronic low sperm count and persisting infertility, 2 or 3 attempts of assisted pregnancy techniques like Sperm Washing and IUI must be tried. Sperm washing and IUI is a very good treatment for low sperm count, because during process of sperm washing, the sperm count is artificially concentrated and improved to normal count and then the washed sperms are injected into the female womb, hoping it will lead to pregnancy.

LOW SPERM COUNT AND STAPHYLOCCOCUS IN NIGERIA

LOW SPERM COUNT AND STAPHYLOCCOCUS IN NIGERIA

 

LOW SPERM COUNT AND STAPHYLOCCOCUS IN NIGERIA
A wonderful looking couple came to our clinic sometime ago. The man and his wife indeed were really looking lovely, he was a very tall and athletic built handsome man , his wife could easily pass for Miss World.
They had been married for more than 10 years with no child [ a case of primary infertility].
After consulting with the two of them, the wife then left to our other departments to conduct some tests. The man now had some free time with me, and decided to open up.
He confessed that before marriage he had successfully impregnated more than 6 ladies [ which all of course underwent abortions]. He also contracted at different times sexually transmitted diseases and others [ of course they were all treated successfully].
When he got married to his wife, they tried having a child for 5 years without success. The wife had undergone many tests in many places that proved she was ok.
He privately did some tests five years ago, and discovered he had very low sperm count and staphylococcus infestation. He had treated it all these years and up till this moment [ however without the knowledge of his wife] was still having low sperm count. He told me he had visited many doctors, native doctors, traditional drug street hawkers, pastors, imam, babalawos and many others privately seeking solution to his problems.
So indeed he knew he was a cause of childlessness in the marriage .

Staphyloccocus infection has being a serious issue in Nigeria as regards infertility and still is . Many unorthodox practitioners have continued to make millions of naira, branding staphylococcus as the only cause of infertility and have continued to give myriads of different concoctions to cure it. Up till today the situation remains the same.
There are many causes of low sperm count, which includes different types of infections [staphylococcus being one].
In this article we are going to look at low sperm count, their causes, diagnosis/tests done to investigate it and some preventions/treatments.




INFERTILITY
Infertility is the inability of a woman to get pregnant after a period of one year despite regular or normal sexual intercourse with her male partner during ovulation or without family planning.It can also be defined as the inability of a woman to carry pregnancy due to miscarriage. Infertility is also a common case among men. In their own case, it is their inability to impregnate a woman after a year of regular sexual intercourse during a woman’s ovulation.
As incidence of infertility is gradually getting to epidemic level, healthcare providers have fingered sexually transmitted infections as the major cause.Prominent among these infections are gonorrhea, syphilis and staphylococcus.
According to a recent research, infertility is known to be majorly caused by infection which ranges from Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs) such as gonorrhea and syphilis. It blocks the passage of the sperm.

Chronic Prostatitis which could also be as a result of Staphylococcus infection causes infertility in men thereby leading to complication like low sperm count (Oligospermia) watery sperm (Necrospermia) zero sperm count (Azoospermia).
Staphylococcus aureus was consistently isolated from the semen cultures of men with Low Sperm Count.

Low sperm count (Oligozoospermia) is one of the main causes of male infertility. It is considered that a man has low sperm count when he has less than 20 million spermatozoa per one ml of ejaculate.
A great number of medical conditions as well as many biologic and environmental factors can cause low sperm count temporarily or permanently. Unfortunately, the reliable treatments for increasing sperm count are not as many.

CAUSES OF LOW SPERM COUNTHere are some of the possible causes of low sperm count:
[1]Absence of sperm or low sperm count may be due to an infection associated with high fever that occurs after puberty. Mumps has long been associated with infertility in a man. Infections like gonorrhea, syphilis and staphylococcus and tuberculosis can destroy the male reproductive tracts and inhibit sperm production or kill sperm cells.
[2]Problems with sperm production – such problems can be genetic (for example Klinefelter’s syndrome) or based on a hormonal disorder
[3]Testicular injury and disease – injuries that affect the testicles may affect sperm production and cause low sperm count
[4]Malnutrition and nutrient deficiencies – deficiency of some nutrients (for example Zinc, Selenium, vitamin C, etc.) may also lead to low sperm count
[5]Overheating – excessive heat from saunas, hot tubs, etc. may decrease sperm production and lower sperm count
[6]Smoking – smoking cigarettes may impair male fertility since it is known to reduce sperm count and sperm lifespan
[7]Drugs – the use of cocaine and heavy marijuana is known to reduce sperm count by 50%
[8]Excessive alcohol consumption – alcohol is toxic to sperm and may reduce sperm count and quality
[9]Prescribed medications – many prescription medications are known to reduce sperm count and decrease fertility
[10]Environmental toxins, radiation and heavy metals – a number of environmental factors, such as exposure to toxins or chemicals, can reduce sperm count either by affecting testicular function directly or by affecting the hormone system
[11]Obesity – many studies find association between low sperm count and obesity in men
[12]Stress and excessive physical or mental exertion – these can cause some hormonal changes in the body that can affect sperm count and fertility
[13]Varicocele – A varicocele is a varicose vein in the cord that connects to the testicle. (A varicose vein is one that is abnormally enlarged and twisted.) Varicoceles are found in 15% to 20% of all men and in 25% to 40% of infertile men. A varicocele is a small flaw in the anatomy of a vein. If such a vein exists, surplus blood, and therefore too much heat, gets to the testicles, causing the sperm to die. Every man who has a varicocele is not infertile. However, about 30 percent of men who are infertile have a varicocele. The size of the varicocele seems to have no bearing on sperm count.
Varicoceles can be corrected with a simple surgical procedure or a new nonsurgical technique in which a tiny silicone balloon or coil is inserted into the area to close off the swollen vein, rerouting the blood to other blood vessels.

[14]Bicycling/Motorcycling – blood vessels and nerves may be damaged due to the pressure from the bike seat.
[15]Some jobs can lead to low sperm count– Men who work as painters, decorators and printers are much more likely to have a low sperm count compared with other male professionals, due to their repeated exposure to organic solvents, such as paint thinner and turpentine, new research suggests.



DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING
[1] SEMEN ANALYSIS – This is a very simple and important test and should be done early in the evaluation process. Sometimes the test should be done 2, or even 3 times to get an accurate reflection of the numbers and their variation over time. Semen analysis is a test to measure the amount and quality of a man’s semen and sperm. Semen is the thick, white, sperm-containing fluid released during ejaculation.
The test is sometimes called a sperm count.
You will need to provide a semen sample. Your health care provider will explain how to collect a sample.
Sample collection may involve masturbation and collecting the sperm into a sterile container. It may also be collected during intercourse by using a special condom supplied by your health care provider.
A laboratory specialist must look at the sample within 2 hours of the collection. The earlier the sample is analyzed, the more reliable the results.

[2] BLOOD TESTS – For most infertile men, the semen analysis is the only test which needs to be done – after all, the only job of a man is to provide sperm to fertilise the egg ! For men with a low sperm count, there is need to do any other tests, such as blood tests for measuring the levels of key reproductive hormones, such as prolactin, FSH, LH and testosterone. For men with azoospermia ( zero sperm count), additional blood tests may be useful . The serum FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) level test is a useful one for assessing testicular function. If the reason for the azoospermia is testicular failure, then this is reflected in a raised FSH level. This is because, in these patients, the testis also fails to produce a hormone called inhibin (which normally suppresses FSH levels to their normal range). A high FSH level is usually diagnostic of primary testicular failure, a condition in which the seminiferous tubules in the testes do not produce sperm normally, because they are damaged.

[3] ULTRASOUND SCAN FOR LOW SPERM COUNT – The use of ultrasonography has become an important component in the evaluation and treatment of male reproductive tract disorders.
Ultrasound scan of the Urinary bladder, prostate, seminal vesicles, ejaculatory ducts, testes, epididymis and for varicocoele, spermatocoele and hydrocoele including scrotal hernia are very important .
From the use of color flow Doppler ultrasonography for the assessment of varicoceles to transrectal ultrasonography combined with seminal vesiculography for the evaluation of ejaculatory duct obstruction, ultrasonography has practical clinical applications. The recent advances in diagnostic transrectal ultrasonography for ejaculatory duct obstruction.


TREATMENT FOR LOW SPERM COUNT

The treatment for low sperm count that will be assigned to you will depend on its cause.
However, sometimes the real cause of low sperm count is never found. Additionally, many disorders affecting sperm production cannot be cured at all or do not respond well to treatment.
Yet, this does not mean that you should be reconciled to the problem. There are a lot of things you can do to reduce the risk of low sperm count.
[1]Switch to a healthier, balanced diet, rich in vegetables and whole grains.
[2]Exercise regularly.
[3]Try to reduce stress.
[4]Keep weight off; if you are overweight, lose the excess weight.
[5]Don’t smoke
[6]Reduce or eliminate alcohol consumption.
[7]Don’t use recreational drugs.
[8]Ejaculate less often; maintain a gap of three days between ejaculations.
[9]Avoid tight underwear, saunas, hot tubs and anything else that may increase the temperature of the testicles.
[10]Maintaining a healthy weight, sticking to a healthy diet, avoiding alcohol, cigarettes, and illegal drugs can all help you get your sperm count back to norm. Add to this healthy lifestyle the proper blend of herbs, vitamins and minerals and you will be able not only to increase your sperm count but also improve sperm quality and motility.
