ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--A groundbreaking study, documented in a November 2017 edition of Human Reproduction Update, uncovered a startling decrease in the sperm production of men in Western countries, including the U.S. In a time when overall fertility rates have steadily been declining, this study confirms what researchers have been speculating for decades: a potential male fertility crisis may be looming on the horizon.
Conducted between 1973 and 2011, researchers were able to conclude that within the male population, sperm count and concentration levels dropped from an average 99 million/milliliter to an average of just 47.1 million/milliliter—revealing an alarming decrease of 52%. While the cause of this drop in sperm levels is largely unknown, many scientists speculate environmental or lifestyle factors may be to blame.
