New Study Reports: According to a new study, several conditions that affect men’s testicles due to lack of oxygen, including hiking at high altitude and sleep apnea, have been linked to a decline in male fertility over the past 50 years. May be the reason.
According to a report published in the Nature Reviews Urology journal, low oxygen can affect men’s sperm quality and overall reproductive health and indicates that testis hypoxia may be important for the decline in male fertility. Infertility in men means the inability to conceive despite having regular unprotected sex for more than a year, while sub-fertility is a less serious condition in which the chances of conceiving are reduced.

The author of this article, Tessa Lord, senior lecturer and reproductive biologist at Newcastle University in Australia, said that testis hypoxia, or a lack of oxygen in the testicles, can pose a permanent threat to reproductive health, which can be caused by chronic medical conditions such as sleep apnea or varicocele. it occurs.
He further said, “Varicocele or dilated veins in the testicles is a common abnormality that causes infertility in men and is found in 45 percent of men who are having trouble conceiving.” At the same time, sleep apnea is a common disease in which the airway muscles shorten the passage of air while sleeping. This affects a person’s breathing and blood oxygen level. An increase in such cases has been seen, in which obesity is also a major risk factor.
The authors of the article said, “Several conditions can cause testicular hypoxia, including hiking at high altitude, sleep apnea, testicular torsion, and varicocele.”
