The Truth About the Rising Infertility 

Fertility tests on men show that many are experiencing a decline in the sperm count's normal range.    However, this has been different from how the issue of fertility has been treated in the past. Most of the time, fertility-related problems are seen as women's problems. The blame is mostly placed on the female side.    But scientists have declared that both males and females are very much involved in the issue of infertility. It even comes more from the side of the male.    Amy E.T. Sparks, a reproductive physiologist and director of the IVF and Andrology Laboratories, said that an infertility challenge is not meant to be blamed on one person. Rather, each party involved should take a test and see how they can resolve the problem. "I think the perception that infertility is primarily a woman’s problem may be due to the tendency for women to initially seek medical care for infertility rather than men," Sparks said.    The result of the new study by trusted scientists supports Amy E. T. Sparks' claim." substantial increase in the proportion of men with low sperm counts which leads to a reduced capability for fertilizing their partners," David M. Kristensen, a molecular toxicologist, said.    "This is of concern for not only the families that are affected but also for societies in general, as many countries such as Italy and Japan are already suffering from shrinking populations," he added.
