The Myth of the Perpetually Fertile Male

Sunday, June 20th, 2010

“Of course HE can become a dad at any age!  But for a woman, it’s different!”

How many times have we heard that phrase repeated by people who are discussing the whole parenting issue of males versus females?  But it perpetuates a myth that male fertility is something that doesn’t change over time and isn’t a concern.

The truth of the matter is that between 30-40% of all fertility problems in couples is due to male infertility, not female infertility.  It’s a fact that surprises a lot of men… and women.

The next time you hear someone talking about the notion that men are somehow immune to fertility issues, you might want to interject the aforementioned statistic.  Hopefully, that will help educate people into realizing that fertility isn’t a one-gender concern.
