In recent years, the incidence of male infertility in China has been rising, and has now reached 12%. This trend has led to a sharp decline in the number of new births, which has become a serious social problem. Although there is occasional news of an 80-year-old man becoming a father, most people may not be so optimistic. So who is more likely to be infertility?How can it be prevented?

These men are more prone to infertility
Age Distribution:The survey results show that the age of male infertility patients in China is mainly between 25 and 45 years old, with an average age of 336 years old. Of course, this is also related to the fact that male friends in this age group themselves have more reproductive needs.
Geographical Distribution:About half of male infertility patients come from the eastern region, and more than 60% of infertile men live in urban areas. This result may be positively correlated with population density, number of people of childbearing age, and level of medical care.

Education:The majority of infertile men have a higher level of education, of which 6382% have a university degree or above, and most have stable jobs. This may be because people with higher levels of education are more likely to marry later and have children later, increasing the risk of age to infertility.
