Male infertility is behind 1 in 3 IVF cycles

The Hindu  

For the first time, IVF clinics in Australia and New Zealand have reported data about the scale and range of male fertility problems in couples who have IVF. Although most male fertility problems can’t be prevented, there are things men can do to improve sperm quality and the chance of natural conception. For couples with male factor infertility, intracytoplasmic sperm injection is needed to fertilise the eggs and give them a chance of having a baby. Although most male infertility is not preventable, there are some things men can do to keep their sperm healthy. It takes longer for partners of older men to conceive, and sperm quality declines with age and this increases the risk of miscarriage and health problems for the baby.
