For many years it was mistakenly believed that the woman was responsible for fertility problems, however, with the evolution of science and fertility studies, it was possible to dismantle that myth and today we know that men contribute 30% of causes of infertility on their own and that they share 30% more with women. This paradigm shift has not only made it possible to reach more accurate diagnoses, but has also sensitized the male gender, which today assumes a more active role in the search for pregnancy.
Faced with this reality, it is important that men as well as women become aware and responsible for their fertility, and although age does not significantly affect the quality of sperm, as it does in eggs, there are countless other conditions that can condition male fertility, detect them in time or take measures such as sperm preservation. they can change the future outlook for many men.
This is the case of patients diagnosed with cancer who must undergo chemotherapy to eliminate cancer cells from their body, a procedure that can affect their tissues or germ cells that are those from which sperm arise, causing their fertility to decline significantly, as well as those who must undergo pelvic or genitourinary system surgeries. such as vasectomy, prostatectomy, among others.
In any case, our recommendation when facing a diagnosis that puts fertility at risk, is to consult with the urologist to validate the path to follow, being informed in time is to prevent the search for pregnancy from being something long and exhausting for both the woman and the man. Being aware of all this will increase the chances of a pregnancy, its normal development and that the couple at the end of the road can enjoy their dream, that of becoming parents.
