Nowadays, there are many cases of male infertility, and many of them lead to male infertility. We know that the reasons for male infertility are innate, acquired, and age related. We know that women's fertility has a biological clock, but in fact, men also have a biological clock. So when is the biological clock of men?
We know that many hospitals do not advocate the emergence of older mothers. In fact, women have a biological clock for childbirth, and even if they become pregnant, there are many risks. Our research shows that men also have a biological clock, which is just different from women. The reproductive ability of men and their potential to have healthy offspring seem to change gradually rather than suddenly. Research has found that men who wait until they reach old age to have children not only have a risk of infertility, but also an increased risk of genetic problems in their children.
We have learned from the above that the age of a man can affect infertility and may also make babies healthy. So when is a man's biological clock? Scientists from the University of California, Berkeley, and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory reported that they conducted a study on 97 males aged between 22 and 80. Their previous research results showed that as men age, their sperm count decreases and they lose the ability to spontaneously move in a straight line, leading to a decrease in reproductive ability.
We know that men's reproductive health depends on their sperm. If sperm is healthy, then reproduction is healthy. Scientists then focused on studying the genetic damage and mutations in the sperm of the aforementioned research subjects, and reported the relevant results in the new online edition of the Journal of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States. They found in a new study that as men age, DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) breaks in their sperm increase. Scientists point out that this result means that men who wait until they reach old age to have children not only have a risk of infertility, but also an increased risk of genetic problems in their children.
In fact, a man's biological clock does not mean that he is no longer able to conceive at that age, but rather that he is no longer able to conceive healthily. Scientists have pointed out that understanding the consequences of being a father's age is becoming increasingly important. In the United States, more and more men tend to postpone the age of fatherhood. According to statistics, since 1980, the number of American men who became fathers between the ages of 35 and 49 has increased by nearly 40%, while the number of men who became fathers before the age of 30 has decreased by 20%.
The above shows the biological clock of men, and many men's infertility is also caused by substandard sperm. We know that pregnancy is a very complex matter, and it is only after healthy sperm that a healthy baby can be born. Therefore, for the sake of the health of their offspring, it is not recommended for men to wait for the optimal reproductive age before having a child.
