According to recently published scientific data, a constant decline in sperm concentration was observed in France between 1989 and 2005, at a rate of 32.2% in total or a yearly rate of 1.9%. In addition, lower percentages of normal sperm morphology were recorded during the same 17-year period.<\/p>\n
These results are in accordance with the falling trends in sperm concentration observed in other countries, e.g. Israel, New Zealand, Tunisia and Finland.<\/p>\n
The experts\u2019 views tend to correlate the deterioration of semen quality with environmental or other factors regarding alterations in nutritional habits, psychological stress or the presence of infections.<\/p>\n
These alarming data raise concerns about the fertilizing potential of the future generations. The preventive evaluation of sperm quality by means of a reliable semen analysis<\/a> in young men may lead to the diagnosis of problems that could possibly be resolved at an early stage. Moreover, the preventive freezing<\/a> and cryopreservation of several semen samples may prove useful as an action of foresight against any negative future development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12061,"template":"","acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.cryogonia.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles\/12761"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.cryogonia.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/articles"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.cryogonia.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/articles"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archive.cryogonia.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/12061"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archive.cryogonia.gr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
