When couples have problems conceiving, it's often assumed it's the woman's fault, but male fertility has been falling steadily since the 1950s.

The facts:

  • Male sperm counts have halved in the last 50 years
  • 1 in 3 couples have problems conceiving
  • A man's general health is often overlooked when it comes to conception and fertility problems
  • When there's a problem conceiving, the problem is only with the woman in around 35-40% of cases
  • When there's a problem conceiving, the problem is with the man in around 30-35% of cases
  • 25% of male infertility still remains unexplained
.

But don't despair. If you're trying for a baby and looking for ways to help boost your man's sperm count, check out our guide to male fertility, with expert advice from fertility expert Zita West.
