Male Infertility
Male infertility is common and accounts for about 40% of all cases of couples having difficulty in conceiving children, the average male sperm per ejaculation has dropped by around 50% since 1966. Such a trend means that a 30 year old man in 2005 might have a sperm count of 32 million per ml - about one-quarter the count of the average male born in 1925.
