INTRODUCTION

By the creators wonderful design, man was made to remain sexually active throughout life; without any artificial assistance. Some of our forebears had children at over 100 years of age.

However, the men of this era complain of sexual weakness and tiredness quite earlier than could ever be imagined. In fact, the rate of impotence/infertility among men is currently alarming.

Sexual weakness or impotence is not a thing to imagine, let alone being neglected. It accounts for majority of marriage failures.

Impotence is a marriage cankerworm, it is worse than poverty. Of course a poor man could still maintain his right and authority in the house but nothing humbles a man before his wife like impotence. Regrettably, some foolish women use such weapon to hit back at their impotent husbands whenever issues arise between them and their spouse.

Most blame of infertility in the family especially in the third world goes to the woman because most people ironically believe that once a man can achieve erection, he is as good as being fertile. This gross misconception originated from ignorance of the male reproductive capability and possibility. It is quite amazing that the high level of ignorance in third world societies has made many innocent women become objects of mockery and humiliation.

Many men believe that achievement of erection equals fertility. Others are deceived by their past fertility record, for instance, a man who by chance impregnated a girl out of wedlock usually believes such as sure foundation for his fertility. To such man, his wife remains the culprit of any unfavorable eventuality.

Now, hear this sir, it is absolutely possible for a man to impregnate many women and still come down with infertility just as a woman may deliver one and may not be able to conceive again.

It is important for us to know that the deceptive cultural immunity which tells man that he is always okay has contributed to the reproductive disaster in most men today. This makes most men not to seek medical attention until the worst happens.

THE BIOLOGY OF THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE SYSTEM

All the body functions except one have as their ultimate goal, the survival of the individual. Only the function of the reproductive system serves a different, albeit more important purpose; the survival of human species. Mans reproductive biology is made up of two groups of organs, namely:

1. The essential organ for sperm production (i.e. the Testes)
2. The accessory organs that play important role in the reproductive process (e.g. the penis, the urethra, the vas deferens, the prostrate, etc.)

Each of these reproductive components has essential role to play in fertility potency of man.

The semen refers to the entire fluid discharged through the penis during sexual intercourse. It is often mistaken for the sperm . No! Semen is made up of fluid from different sources including the sperm, which is produced solely by the testes.

It is, therefore, very important to note that not all the fluid discharged by man during intercourse is the sperm, which is however, only a part of it.

IMPOTENCE AND INFERTILITY IN MEN

Impotence and infertility are two different words which are sometimes used inter changeably since one could give rise to the other. An impotent man may have normal sperm production and count but because intercourse could not be possible or successful, infertility could occur.

A man could be said to be impotent when he is not able to achieve an erection or is unable to maintain an erection. It has been observed that the sexual potency of man beings to decline after 40 years of age. However, this age dependent sexual fitness varies in people with different socio-cultural backgrounds. Statistics has also shown great decline in sexual strength of men as generations evolve. For instance, in the days of yore, men above 70 were still sexually active which accounts for their old age marriages. Interestingly, they still bore children at that age without any artificial support.

Infertility simply means an abnormally low ability to reproduce . It could be reversed if the underlying cause is removed. It is important to differentiate from sterility which is a complete inability to reproduce ; an irreversible state. A man is said to be infertile when he is not able to impregnate a woman after one year of unprotected sexual efforts.

CAUSES OF EARLY SEXUAL WEAKNESS IN MEN

• Diabetes Diabetes leads to dehydration and shrinking of the cells of the testes, thus slowing down or completely halting sperm production.
• Hypertension
• Arthritis
• Free radicals Free radicals reduce the force of blood flow required for strong erection to occur, resulting to either poor erection or inability to sustain erection. If the actions of these free radicals are not checked, the rate of aging and organs weakness would be alarming.
• Mump
• Drugs
• Liver disease
• Sexually transmitted diseases- Untreated sexual infections can alter one or more processes involved in sperm production
• Excessive consumption of alcohol Alcohol decrease the level of testosterone, the hormone that triggers the process of sperm production.
• Smoking Nicotine, the main ingredient of cigarette, contracts blood vessels supplying the penis, and by so doing, reduces the amount of blood flowing into it, which results in erectile dysfunction or impotence. Cigarette also causes premature ejaculation.

INVESTIGATIONS FOR MALE INFERTILITY

1. Semen analysis to ascertain the quantity and quality of the sperm in the semen
2. Hormonal assay
3. Testicular ultrasound scanning
4. Other investigations for secondary causes e.g. diabetes

HOW TO PREVENT MALE INFERTILITY AND IMPOTENCE

For you to avert the pains of early sexual weakness or childlessness, the following steps are mandatory:

Put value on your reproductive career As earlier stated, of all the systems in the body, it is only the reproductive system that performs a different, perhaps, most important function in natures calendar; that is preservation of human species.

It is therefore expedient for you to put unique value on your reproductive future because a single mistake can end your reproductive career unceremoniously. It is an indisputable fact that sexual exuberance is a cankerworm to the reproductive hope of many men. Apart from HIV/AIDS, several sexually transmitted infections can show a man the path of sorrow sooner or later.

Be prompt to treat any infection you observe around your private region and never forget the agony of negligence as outlined so far.

Avoid secrecy Whenever you notice any strange feeling on your body, seek for medical attention and open up to your doctor first before the unfounded suggestions of your ignorant friends. Avoid self medication!

Be determined to spend for your health It sounds quite ridiculous that a man would spend huge amounts of money on wears, hotel bills, etc, but be stingy when it comes to taking care of his health.

Permit me to ask you this question: when last did you do routine medical checks?

Stop waiting until the worst happens. Healthy living may not be cheap but t is affordable. If you set your priorities aright, you can have the best of health.

Eat a balanced diet There are certain food substances, particularly vitamins and minerals, required for sperm production, sperm maturation as well as in maintaining the potency and integrity of the blood vessels supplying the testes and the erectile organs. Therefore, a balanced diet referred in this case is not just eating conventional foods. No! Your diet must consist of a daily requirement of anti oxidant food substances that counter the destructive actions of free radicals.
