Some reasons to increase the risk of infertility in men

-

Although most people associate infertility with women, 20 to 30 percent of infertile couples have problems in men.

 

Infertility in men

 

In November 2022, a study revealed that men's sperm count worldwide is declining by 2.6% annually.

 

From 1973 to 2000, sperm count decreased by 1.2 percent annually, but from 2000 to 2018 it increased to 2.6 percent.

 

 

Men's fertility declines alarmingly worldwide: Study

 

The study did not shed light on the reasons for the decrease in sperm count, but the researchers said that environmental and lifestyle factors are possibly linked to it.

 

Apart from this, medical experts have identified some reasons that increase the risk of infertility in men.

 

Obesity

Excessive body weight also increases the risk of infertility in men because the amount of fat in the body affects the hormones that are linked to men's reproductive system.

 

Smoking, alcohol or drugs

Smoking, alcohol or drug use also increases this risk.

 

Nicotine present in tobacco increases oxidative stress in the body, which has negative effects on the reproductive system.

 

The same goes for drug use.

 

Prolonged use of alcohol also increases the risk of infertility in men because it significantly reduces the levels of a hormone called testosterone.

 

Poor diet

Not using a healthy diet or excessive use of junk food leads to vitamin C and zinc deficiency in the body.

 

The lack of these two ingredients has negative effects on the reproductive system, which increases the risk of infertility.

 

Stress

Both physical and mental stress increases the risk of various diseases.

 

People who are stressed all the time have a higher risk of infertility, but the reason for this is not completely clear.

 

Vitamin D deficiency

In some research reports, vitamin D deficiency and lack of testosterone levels in the body have been discovered, which can increase the risk of infertility.

 

Depression

also increases the risk of infertility in men.

 

In 2018, a medical study conducted in the United States found that men with severe depression were 60 percent less likely to have children than others.

 

 

According to medical experts, the habit of wearing tight underwear can have negative effects on the sperm count, which increases the risk of infertility over time.

 

Not being physically active also increases the risk of infertility by spending more time sitting.

 

A 2019 study found that men who spend more time sitting have a much higher risk of damage to sperm DNA, which can lead to infertility.

 

Lack of sleep

Good sleep is very important for physical health and that is why the habit of sleeping too little is linked to the risk of infertility in men.

 

A 2016 study found that lack of sleep increases the risk of infertility in men.

 

As they age, men's ability to become fathers begins to decline.

 

After the age of 40, men's ability to become fathers decreases, while the chances of having children without birth defects decrease by 11 percent.

I can hold the biggest meeting on 48 hours' notice: Altaf Hussain. Yes he can

-
 Altaf Hussain of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement in London has said he can hold the biggest rally today on 48 hours notice. His popularity can be gauged by his low voter turnout in recent by-elections in Karachi. He spoke at a press conference in Egware, London.   Altaf Hussain stated that if he is given a free hand, he can hold the largest rally in 48 hours even today. He has stated that MQM Pakistan has no status and that the only person known to the public is Altaf Hussain. 'Do you consider anyone as MQM except Altaf Hussain,' he asked the journalists and activists present at the press conference.   The MQM ruled Karachi in the 1980s and 1990s, and had a lot of influence in many urban areas of Sindh. It has been accused of violence, and security agencies have conducted operations against it. Altaf Hussain has said that the London court gave a decision in favor of MQM Pakistan in the properties case, and if the British Government and Bar Association of British Courts do n...

 A new governmental order will require virtual private networks to store user data for a minimum of five years. This is new national directive of the country's IT emergency response team, called. Photo by Kevin Paster: Pexel This is a policy that is probably going to make life harder for VPN businesses and VPN users. CERT-in announced on Thursday that the VPN companies of the country will have to keep the names of the clients, the physical and IP addresses validated, the habits of use and other forms of personal information. If the customer cancels their subscription or deletes their account, their information will always be stored in the company's servers according to the directive. Those who fail to do so could face up to one year in prison under the applicable law cited in the new directive. The directive does not stop at VPN providers.Data centres and cloud-based providers are listed in the same provision. India has a long tradition of putting the heavy hand to online activ...

Everything you need to know about DDR5

 DDR4 memory is found on most personal computers. The next generation memory standard is coming out. Computers users expect increased performance and optimal power consumption  in the new chips.  If we focus on raw data, the main changes include a reduction in the voltage from 1.2V to 1.1V, and the 8n prefetch buffer will be replaced by 16n prefetch buffers, i.e. 16 bits per hour will migrate from memory cells to the IO buffer, while performance will be scaled from 3.2 Gbps to 6.4 Gbps per I/O connection. We can expect increased performance as some memory makers  have managed to enhance JEDEC specifications for DDR4.  The design of the DDR5 memory modules is based on 288 needles. The application of DDR5 will requires a new platform.  The DIMM has been divided into two channels. A memory module offers two 32-bit channels, of which there will be twice 40 bits with ECC. Between 8 bytes to 16 bytes the minimum stroke length varies. Sense a module uses two chann...
