Declining sperm quality

There is alarm in reproductive health circles. Male infertility is on the rampage. All over the world, reports of declining sperm quality and increasing male infertility attributable to low sperm count and poor sperm motility and morphology are making the rounds.
Indeed it is becoming more challenging for the typical African, Asian, American or European male to preserve his manliness and perpetuate his masculinity, particularly with regards to fertility and vitality. A man’s sperms carry half the genetic material necessary to make a complete human being. A woman’s egg holds the other half.
Increasingly, experts are reporting incidences of men with genetically fragile sperms. Such sperm have fragmented DNA chains, which make them to be of low quality and less capable of fertilisation.

Male infertility can be caused by various factors such as hormone disorders, illness, injury to reproductive anatomy, obstruction or sexual dysfunction. These factors can temporarily or permanently affect sperm and prevent conception. Some disorders become more difficult to treat the longer they persist without infertility treatment. But there is hope. The first step of any successful treatment is the proper diagnosis of the male infertility cause.

But the same experts, who used to think the problem was only genetic in nature, are beginning to have a rethink as studies have shown that lifestyle issues are involved.
They now know that the drastic reduction in men’s sperm counts is being driven by a deadly combination of estrogenic (feminising) toxins in the food supply; harmful chemicals in the environment, and poor lifestyle.
In Europe, records show that an average of 1 in 18 men has low sperm count, and the numbers of men who are affected are rapidly increasing.
The situation is no better in America, probably worse, and although there are no specific data, the numbers are not expected to be far off for Nigerian men. “We are seeing more men who are having bad sperms, weak sperms and abnormal sperms, and there is a real need to explore a suitable intervention to meet the growing proportion of men that need help in this direction,” noted Dr. Abayomi Ajayi, a fertility treatment specialist, and Medical Director, Nordica, Fertiliy Clinic, Lagos, Asaba and Abuja.
Lamenting the spate of declining male fertility, Ajayi, observed: “There are many things in the environment causing what is described as oestrogenisation of men. Things such as paint, exposure to petrol and even insecticides can affect sperm count. Men working in fuel stations, for instance, are known to suffer from low sperm counts.”
In the view of Dr. Richardson Ajayi, Medical Director, The Bridge Clinic, Lagos , “Our grandfathers had higher sperm count than our fathers who had higher sperm counts than our generation. There are many theories, but a common theory is that the male of our species is getting exposed to a lot more female hormones than ever, basically due to a lot of xerophenes in the atmosphere. This comes from plastics used for packaging; plastics used for computers etc. These xerophenes have female hormone oestrogen-like effects and exposure of males to them could be deleterious.”
Clinical records show that in Nigeria, 25 percent of couples are infertile, and that half of the causes are due to male factor issues. An assessment of hospital data from the four leading tertiary health institutions revealed that over 90 percent of male infertility cases are either due to low sperm counts or poor sperm quality, or a combination of both.
To illustrate the continuing decline of male fertility in the modern world, French researchers in a brand new study published in the Human Reproduction journal, conducted a study on French men aged 18 to 70, tracking their average sperm counts across the country between 1989 and 2005.
Their findings showed a drop in sperm counts among all French men in this age range, of about 1.9 percent per year on average, and by 32.3 percent on average over the course of the 16-year period studied, while the number of normally-shaped sperm dropped by 33.4 percent during the study period.
“This constitutes a serious public health warning,” said Dr. Joelle Le Moal, an environmental health epidemiologist and one of the researchers. “To our knowledge, this is the first study concluding a severe and general decrease in sperm concentration and morphology at the scale of a whole country over a substantial period.”
Le Moal said the downward trend observed in the study clearly illustrates a perpetual decline in male fertility, which more than likely extends far outside the borders of France and around the world. Based on the figures, average sperm concentrations dropped from 73.6 million per milliliter (mi/mL) among 35-year-old men in 1989 to 49.9 mi/mL among the same age group in 2005, highlighting a disastrous situation.  Similar findings have been observed in the United States of America, where sperm counts have been on the decline for more than 50 years.
Among reasons attributed to the trend is the presence of Bisphenol-A, BPA and other plastics chemicals, pesticide and herbicide residues in conventional food, fluoride in the water supply, radiation-emitting mobile phones and laptop computers, pharmaceutical drugs, and many other factors are all responsible for the massive decline in male fertility both in the U.S. and abroad. ”
It’s most likely a reflection of the fact that many environmental and lifestyle changes over the past 50 years are inherently detrimental to sperm production,” says Professor Richard Sharpe, a fertility research expert at the United Kingdom-based Medical Research Council, MRC.

WorldStage News | Fashola flags off polio mop up supplement immunisation campaign

WorldStage News | Fashola flags off polio mop up supplement immunisation campaign

Nigelio

Nigelio - Nigeria has become synonymous with polio. Is this a Nigelio phenomenon?  

This week, the MOP-UP programme for Polio Vaccination was conducted in Nigeria. 

Governor Babatunde Raji Fashola kicked off the Mop Up Supplement Immunisation activity in the State at the Apapa- Iganmu Local Council Development Area, stressing that no new case of Polio infection has been recorded in the State in the last three years.

 

Lots of "vaccinators" were seen clad in the green polio jersey, going from house-house to administer the vaccine to children 5 years and below.

But when will Nigeria be removed from the disgraceful position of One of the Only Three remaining nations of the world where polio is still endemic? (remaining two being Afghanistan and Pakistan) - India was recently removed from the list.

I'm using this medium to plead with the vaccinators to ensure they administer the vaccines. We have heard of news whereby the vaccines are emptied in the drain and the volunteers just go back and collect the money for the exercise.

My concern and prayer is that Nigeria is removed from this disgraceful list, and more than that is that our children be saved from the devastating polio disease.

Come next year when we celebrate 24/10 (World Polio Day), Nigeria should be announced as a polio free nation.

Tragedy in Connecticut: How do children, parents move forward?

What is the Psychological effects of the Connecticut shooting on Parents, kids and everyone at large? And how do we handle it? 



On Friday, at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., a gunman (or two gunmen) opened fire in a classroom, wounding multiple people and, perhaps, killing dozens.  The gunman is now dead.
Blood was spilled in an elementary school.  An entire kindergarten classroom is unaccounted for as I write this.  Kids whose major concern was whether their art projects were up to par and how many hours were left before recess collided with the ultimate terror of a madman seeking to end their lives.
Kindergarteners are almost certainly among the casualties.  And the psychological bleeding from this incident will not be easily stopped.
The limits, which even the most violent (or violently ill) among us would seemingly never violate, continue to be violated.  The shooting of 5-year-olds would have seemed to be one such limit.  But something has gone terribly wrong in the American psyche—perhaps a dulling of real-life emotions via reality TV and Facebook and iPhones.  The needle measuring what someone must do to shock us has moved further into the red zone, faster than most would have imagined possible.
What now?  How do we help the survivors, their families and all the American families whose kids feel less safe today than they did yesterday?
First, we should tell them that horrific violence is still mercifully uncommon—that the risk to any one school in America is, thankfully, extremely, extremely limited.  We should tell them also that events like the one in Newtown on Friday almost always turn out to be driven by severe psychological turmoil or psychiatric illness in the assailant—not because that forgives anything, but because it takes the boogeyman out of the story and suggests a solution to such horrific violence might be found through better outreach to the unstable among us and better management of those we identify as unstable.
It shows we could become more powerful in protecting ourselves  (which we certainly could—by beefing up the mental health care system, for instance).  And we should be listening and listening and listening for children’s anxieties, hearing them out and getting them a professional ear when fears seem to grip them too tightly.
We should also empower our kids—especially those at Sandy Hook and all around Connecticut—to reach out to the bereaved families with cards and letters.  Maybe schools around the nation will hold vigils.  Those things help—the victims and the survivors and all the kids who participate.
Beyond how to cope with the suffering of children exposed to Friday’s violence, we must make good on a commitment to rebuild our mental health care system and to better connect it to law enforcement.  I know nothing about the shooter in Connecticut.  And, yet, having worked for these 20 years as an adolescent, adult and forensic psychiatrist, I will tell you there is every probability that he expressed very concerning thoughts or feelings to more than one person before Friday—and those thoughts or feelings should have been acted upon much more completely than they were.
We can do better.  We must do better.
One other thing:  Those who call for gun control after incidents like this contribute nothing to the solution.  Gunmen like Friday’s plan their actions, right down to wearing military garb.  They could certainly procure illegal firearms or use incendiary devices to kill.  I only wish the kindergarten teacher and principal in Connecticut had been armed.

Spicing Up Your Health

Ours is a new age, where most people are submerged in the world of entertainment, sport and technology. Health seems to be a less discussed topic and when it does, its usually a boring subject. Often times, health is remembered only when an individual suffers an ailment. However, the golden key to health is in the maintenance of a healthy state and prevention of disease.

According to the WHO, Health is defined as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity http://www.who.int/about/definition/en/print.html

Health Spice seeks to discuss health from a totally different perspective, the intrigues, the twists, modern health issues. We "spice" it up for you.
