Michael Eisenberg, a director of male reproductive medicine and surgery, suggested this.    According to his claims, when a man begins to have issues with a low sperm count, there is a higher tendency for him to contract another health disease. These diseases can seriously affect the heart, kidney, liver, and other vital parts of the man's body.    "There is an association between semen quality and overall health—studies suggest that impaired semen quality is associated with a higher risk of testicular cancer, cardiovascular disease, and [premature] mortality," Michael Eisenberg said.    Another study that was conducted in 2018 confirmed Michael Eisenberg's claims. It claimed that men who had low sperm counts had a higher chance of being hospitalized than those who didn't.    From the study, those with sperm concentrations below 15 million/mL had low sperm concentrations. Those in this category have more chances of landing in a hospital than those who have a concentration above that. There is also a recommendation for taking a fertility test for men to detect these issues early.
