Global Sperm Counts Have Dropped 62% Since 1973, Which "Could Threaten Mankind's Survival"
When you hear stories of about infertility, your mind automatically goes to the woman potentially having some issues conceiving. But we often forget that men play just as important a role as women do, and recent research shows that the sperm count around the world has been dropping significantly over the last several decades, resulting in concern about the future of humankind.
Men are rarely scrutinized for their contribution to fertility, but it takes two to tango, as they say, so they have to be factored into the equation. A recent study published in the journal, Human Reproduction Update, shows that there's a global crisis of sperm count, indicating that even the concentration of sperm amongst men has significantly dropped. Experts are worried that this could affect the future of the entire world.
