Man's ability to produce sperm quality was associated closely with the ability to deal with stress. Those with high levels of stress in the long run tend to produce semen with low sperm concentration.
Recent study by Italian researchers found that men who had high levels of anxiety also tend to produce sperm that looks damaged or not quick swim. Even so, a fertility therapist who was not involved in the study said, is difficult to apply the results of such research in the general population because the respondents in the study were those who followed treatment at fertility clinics.
"Do they become less fertile or stress because stress makes them infertile?" Tina Jensen of Copenhagen said that examines the environmental factors on the quality of sperm.
Previous studies that men who undergo fertility treatment or evaluation of fertility have higher stress levels than the general population. Some studies also show a link between stress and quality of sperm.
In a study led by Elisa Vellani of Euorean Hospital in Rome, there are dozens of men involved. They are the 94 men who came to the first fertility clinic, and 85 other men who did not participate fertility treatment as the control group.
Each man gives a sample of the fluid for semen analysis. They also answered a survey to measure levels of stress and anxiety in the long run with the score 20-80, the higher the score the higher the level of anxiety.
In general, men of both groups are in the 37-40 score that was not classified as a pathology.
Well, when compared to the 28 men who stress levels low with 40 men high stress levels, stress known to man has a low sperm concentration and few in number. The more stress a man, the more visible presence of DNA damage in sperm cells. Ability swim too low.
"Stress and anxiety is a significant factor in male fertility," the researchers wrote in the journal Fertility and Sterility.
But they also explained that the relationship between stress and sperm quality was weak in men who did not join the group of fertility treatment.
For example, the man who took fertility treatment produces 29 million sperm per millimeter of semen, while men of the control group produced 52 million sperm per millimeter of semen. According to WHO standards, the sperm in the semen, including 15 million permilimeter normal.
