Helping men become Fathers


Helping Men Become Fathers 


Often when we think of fertility problems the focus is on the woman.  Female fertility seems so complex compared to men, with ovulation, periods etc. Men, well often they can feel that they just need to ‘come to the party’.

Unfortunately it is not always that simple.    

So what is bad for sperm?  Smoking, both tobacco and cannabis, heat (so maybe get your partners some nice loose cotton boxers), obesity, alcohol excess, previous testicular surgery or injury, and interestingly long distance cycling. 

So what to do? The good news is that the factory where sperm are made (the testes) is sending out new models every 72 days. 

Add some colour:  Think of colourful fruits and vegetables – greens, reds, yellows – they all contain a good amount of Vitamin C.  Peanuts, brazil nuts and almonds contain both zinc and Vitamin E and cooked tomatoes contain the powerful anti-oxidant lycopene which also helps.

Foods to avoid: Higher levels of saturated fat, trans-fats, dairy products and sweetened drinks are associated with lower sperm quality.

Add some movement: Sperm fitness can also be improved by addressing excess weight.  If he can’t see his manhood when he looks down – there is a problem. 

If you’re having problems conceiving, don’t assume it’s you – get your man checked out too.    To find out more or to book an appointment with one of our top NZ fertility specialists or visit www.fertilityassociates.co.nz  or call 0800 255 522

  3. "Imagine a country where the history of your people is told twice: once by your family and community, then again by your school and society."

    As a working class pakeha, this is the country I live in.

    My family and community tells a struggle of resistance against capitalism and working class solidarity. My school and society tells a story of lazy bludgers who deserve to be poor.
