age

The decision to have children later in life has become quite widespread in recent years. A host of factors can contribute to a couple deciding to postpone having a family, including career planning, economic reasons and a lack of awareness that fertility declines as we get older. However, the decision to postpone pregnancy reduces the chance of successful pregnancy.

age-related consequences for male fertility

Although age has a greater impact on women’s fertility than men’s, men should not ignore age as a factor that contributes to reduced fertility. Various changes can occur in the man as a result of increasing age. These include:

Reduced function of the testicles
Lower hormone levels
Reduced sperm production
Increased chances of ejaculation problems
