Whenever any woman is not able to
conceive, the family usually assumes the problem lies with her. However about
40% of infertility may be due to male factor problems. Most men find it
difficult to accept that they can have infertility. Infertility is treated
as a woman’s problem in a majority of the cases. Infertility in men is like any
other ailment which, in most of the cases, can be treated with proper guidance
and medication. However, in our society where potency and virility are the
mainstays of manhood, it is very difficult to convince males that they might be
the cause of infertility. The truth is always difficult to handle for men as it
is perceived as a blow to their masculinity.
There is a wide range of phrases
that are used for men facing infertility problems and such derogatory terms add
more to their pain. Men hence feel more insulted and dejected in society
and their family. They think that their ability to father a child is either
severely compromised or almost impossible which is a complete fallacy. Male
Infertility is completely curable in most cases with the right medical
treatment.
A couple should understand that it
is the responsibility of both the husband and the wife to complete the family
and if they are not able to do that then they both should see a doctor. The
right diagnosis of the problem is the most important aspect of infertility
treatment. Proper medication and cure can help them build their family
and perhaps save their marriage.
