The older man and his fertility

 


Many older man worry about their fertility .

They know that a woman's fertility declines as she gets older , and therefore they are naturally concerned that their fertility will decline as well .

However, the reason a woman's fertility declines as she gets older is because her ovaries stop producing new eggs after birth . This means she starts running out of eggs as she ages. When her eggs run out , she becomes menopausal .

However, the testis is designed very differently.

The seminiferous  tubules in the testes continuously producing sperm daily, no matter whether the man is 25 or 95 . This is why the freshly produced sperm will remain healthy and will be able to fertilize an egg .

This is why Charlie Chaplin was able to impregnate his wife even at the age of 73 !

This is why men don’t need to worry about the effect of their age on their fertility.

Yes, a Google search will show papers which say that older men have an increased risk of being infertile, but this is just a statistical increase, and it's not because there's a problem with the sperm quality . It’s usually because of the pedestrian reason that as a man ages, he ends up having sex less frequently , and this is what causes his fertility to apparently decline .
