Introducing SILEX™ Male Fertility Sperm Self-Test kit
Causes of male infertility
- Sperm disorders: This includes not enough sperm, sperm that don’t move fast enough, or sperm that are a different shape to normal.
- Hormonal problems – those with “hypogonadism” don’t produce enough of the hormone testosterone. This may affect your sperm count, sex drive (libido) or mean you can’t get an erection or ejaculate.
- Ejaculation disorders
Other things that can affect fertility include: smoking, alcohol, illegal drugs, infections, your scrotum being too warm, medicines, and obesity.
How do I improve my chance of becoming a father?
One of the main things is having regular vaginal sex. Regular sex means every 2-3 days. You can also optimise the time when you have sex with your partner ovulates. You can find out when this is by using one of the SILEX ovulation self-test kits.
Sperm temperature – keeping your testicles cool can help to produce high-quality sperm. You can keep your testicles cool by not using tight-fitting underwear and avoiding hot baths/hot tubs.
Smoking: Smoking can reduce fertility, so you should give up to improve your chance of becoming a dad.
Alcohol: drinking more than the recommended weekly units of alcohol (14 units) can reduce the quality of your sperm.
Recreational drugs: some recreational drugs can reduce sperm quality. These include, but are not limited to, cannabis, cocaine, and anabolic steroids.
Diet, weight, and exercise—eating a healthy, balanced diet and maintaining a healthy weight are essential for high-quality sperm.
Promote Your Reproductive Health:
Regular monitoring of sperm counts is essential for proactive reproductive health management. Our self-test kit empowers you to track changes in sperm concentration over time.
