Penyebab Masalah Kesuburan Pada Lelaki

Kelainan Genetik
Meskipun amat jarang, ketidaksuburan pria dapat disebabkan oleh kelainan genetik seperti cystic fibrosis. Gangguan genetik meliputi kelainan pada kromosom intim, yang terjadi pada sindrom Klinefelter.

Gangguan Hormonal
Gangguan hormonal yang terjadi dapat menghalangi produksi sperma. Untuk merangsang testis menghasilkan sperma, dibutuhkan hormon yang dihasillkan oleh kelenjar ptituari. Bila hormon tersebut tidak ada, atau jumlahnya menurun dalam jumlah yang signifikan maka sudah barang tentu kinerja testis tidak akan sempurna.

Varikokel
Adalah terjadinya pelebaran Pembuluh Darah Vena di sekitar Buah Zakar. Hal ini biasanya terindikasikan dengan adanya benjolan pada bagian atas buah zakar dan biasanya terjadi pada sebelah kiri.

Sumbatan Saluran Sperma
Biasanya disebabkan  bawaan lahir karena tidak terbentuknya sebagian saluran sperma. Selain itu infeksi juga dapat menyebabkan terjadinya sumbatan saluran sperma. Infeksi pada saluran reproduksi dapat disebabkan oleh bakteri melalui penyakit menular intimual. Jika memang disebabkan karena infeksi bakteri mungkin akan terjadi sumbatan akibat perlekatan dari saluran reproduksi pria.

Impotensi
Agar bisa tegak, penis memerlukan aliran darah yang cukup. Karena itu penyakit pembuluh darah (misalnya aterosklerosis) bisa menyebabkan impotensi. Impotensi juga bisa terjadi akibat adanya bekuan darah atau akibat pembedahan pembuluh darah yang menyebabkan terganggunya aliran darah arteri ke penis. Kerusakan saraf yang menuju dan meninggalkan penis juga bisa menyebabkan impotensi.

Kebiasaan Merokok
Merokok dapat menambah risiko kemandulan dan disfungsi ereksi pada pria. Nikotin membuat darah mengental sehingga tidak bisa beredar dengan lancar, termasuk di pembuluh darah alat kelamin. Akibatnya, muncul gangguan intimual seperti ejakulasi dini, ereksi tidak sempurna, bahkan impotensi.

Kebiasaan Minum Beralkohol
Alkohol dalam jumlah besar dapat menurunkan kadar hormon testoteron sehingga mengganggu produksi sperma.

Pengaruh Radiasi
Radiasi akan memberikan efek negatif terhadap konsentrasi dan kualitas sperma. Selain itu sperma yang terkena pengaruh radiasi akan memiliki gerakan berenang yang kurang baik yang akan mengurangi kesempatan untuk pembuahan.

Pengaruh Obat
Beberapa jenis obat bisa mempengaruhi tingkat kesuburan. Obat-obatan seperti antibiotika, pereda rasa sakit, obat penenang, dan obat hormonal dapat menurunkan tingkat kesuburan pria.

Penyebab Terjadinya Masalah-Masalah Kesuburan pada Perempuan

Sumbatan pada saluran telur
Sumbatan saluran telur disebabkan antara lain adanya perlengketan pada sekitar saluran telur, hal ini sebagai akibat dari pernah terkena IMS dan radang panggul sehingga menghambat pertemuan sel telur dengan sperma.

Endometriosis
Yaitu sel selaput lendir rahim yang tumbuh pada tempat yang tidak semestinya, yaitu di indung telur. Hal ini dapat menimbulkan perlengketan pada sekitar saluran telur atau pada organ reproduksi lainnya.

Kelainan lendir leher rahim
terlalu pekat, yang dapat menghambat laju gerakan sperma
terlalu asam, yang dapat mematikan sperma.

Berat Badan Tidak Seimbang
Berat badan yang tidak seimbang dapat mengganggu kesuburan perempuan, karena tubuh memerlukan 17% dari lemak tubuh di awal masa siklus haid, dan 22% di sepanjang siklus haid. Lemak tubuh mengandung enzim aromatase yang dibutuhkan untuk memproduksi hormon estrogen. Jadi, jika persediaan lemak dalam tubuh tidak memadai, akan memberikan andil besar terhadap ketidaksuburan.

Faktor Usia
Pada wanita, begitu masuk usia 35 tahun, kesuburan akan menurun dan semakin menurun drastis di usia 37 tahun sampai akhirnya masuk ke masa menopause di atas 40-45 tahunan. Cadangan sel telur akan terus berkurang setup kali wanita mengalami menstruasi dan lama-kelamaan akan habis saat menopouse. Sebaliknya, usia tidak membatasi tingkat kesuburan pria dimana “pabrik sperma” akan terus memproduksi sel-sel sperma selama anatominya normal.

Gaya Hidup Yang Penuh Stres
Gaya hidup ternyata pegang peran besar dalam menyumbang angka kejadian infertilitas, yakni sebesar 15-20%. Gaya hidup yang serbacepat dan kompetitif dewasa ini rentan membuat seseorang terkena stres. Padahal kondisi jiwa yang penuh gejolak bisa menyebabkan gangguan ovulasi, gangguan spermatogenesis, spasme tuba fallopi, dan menurunnya frekuensi hubungan suami isteri

Kelainan Mulut Rahim
Normalnya, mulut rahim mengarah ke depan (antefleksi), sehingga berhadapan langsung dengan dinding belakang alat kelamin. Kondisi inilah yang memungkinkan spermatozoa sampai ke dalam saluran mulut rahim yang menghubungkan antara alat kelamin dan rongga rahim. Penyimpangan dari posisi normalnya, seperti retrofleksi (posisi rahim menghadap ke belakang), bisa menghambat terjadinya kehamilan.

Kelainan Rahim
Adanya kelainan  rongga rahim karena perlengketan, mioma atau polip; peradangan endometrium dan gangguan kontraksi rahim, dapat mengganggu transportasi spermatozoa. Kalaupun sampai terjadi kehamilan biasanya kehamilan tersebut akan berakhir sebelum waktunya.

All About Vitamin A

Vitamin A was given the first letter of the alphabet for a name because it was the first vitamin to be discovered. It was found that vitamin A has a large number of uses in the body including keeping eyes healthy, aiding cell growth and also helping boost the immune system. However, vitamin A is not only absorbed directly but it is also created by the body by converting beta carotene into vitamin A.

Vitamin A itself is found in a number of foods such as eggs, milk, liver and meat. Beta carotene that the body can convert into vitamin A is found in many fruits and vegetables, especially the red, orange and green coloured ones. The most important point to remember that consuming too much pure vitamin A can be toxic. It is essential not to exceed the recommended daily allowance for vitamin A. The actual recommended allowance of vitamin A varies depending on a person’s age, sex and other factors. While the actual amount of vitamin A consumed may be toxic if the recommended daily allowance is exceeded, there is a far higher limit to how much beta carotene can be consumed. Therefore it is advisable to concentrate on obtaining the greatest amount of beta carotene which the body can then convert to vitamin A, rather than consuming vast quantities of pure vitamin A rich foods.

Many people will remember being told that eating lots of carrots helps you to see in the dark and that is down to the vitamin A that is produced from the high levels of beta carotene that are found in the vegetables. Other foods which have high levels of beta carotene that can be converted to vitamin A include tomatoes and dark green leafy vegetables, such as spinach. Beta carotene is not only used to form vitamin A, but it is also a powerful antioxidant in itself. None of the beta carotene that is absorbed is wasted as any excess after conversion to vitamin A has taken place is used to fight the harmful free radicals within the body. Vitamin A also helps fight infections and illnesses by helping tissues that line various parts of the body, including the eyes, mouth, nose, throat and lungs, to grow and also to repair them if they are damaged to prevent infection. Children also need plenty of vitamin A to help their bones and teeth to develop properly.

Taking a Vitamin Supplement

There are a number of essential vitamins that the body needs to function properly and it is possible to take these in the form f a vitamin supplement. The majority of people do not have a balanced diet and they may be lacking in certain vitamins which means that they require a vitamin supplement to ensure that they do not have a deficiency of an essential vitamin. A health professional or dietary technician is the best person to give advice on any vitamin supplement that a person should take. It is important to seek professional advice before taking any vitamin supplement. This is because there are some vitamins that can be toxic if too much is consumed and a vitamin supplement may not be appropriate if there is enough of the vitamin already in the food a person eats.

Some categories of people may require more types of vitamin supplement than others. Vegetarians are often deficient in certain vitamins that are only found in animal products, for example, and a vitamin supplement is the ideal solution to this problem. Vegetarians do need to be aware that some vitamin supplement manufacturing processes involve animal products and it is important for them to read the labels. A large number of synthetic vitamin supplement products are available which will enable a vegetarian to take them without contravening their dietary beliefs or needs.

Children will often need a vitamin supplement, especially when they are extremely young. This is because a lot of children do not eat a sufficient variety of foods in their early years and a vitamin supplement can help compensate for this natural deficiency. Breast feeding has long been recommended as a source of all the essential nutrients but women who choose not to or are unable to bottle feed may be concerned as to whether their baby needs a vitamin supplement. The large majority of baby milk formulas contain additional vitamins to prevent the need for a vitamin supplement to be given. It is important to discuss any concerns over the need for a baby or child to take a vitamin supplement with a health professional to ensure that the correct solution is found.

Elderly people or those suffering from certain diseases or illnesses are other groups of people that may need to take a vitamin supplement. The body may often need a vitamin supplement to compensate for a person not being able to consume the recommended daily allowance of certain vitamins through their normal diet.

How to Find Shop Vitamin Supplements

In order to satisfy the increasing demand for healthy products and vitamin supplements, shop vitamin supplement outlets specialize in selling vitamin supplements to consumers. Originally the only place to find shop vitamin supplements was through a medical practitioner providing a prescription that had to be filled at the local drug store. As the research into the benefits of vitamin supplements became more in depth the drug administration allowed for the production of shop vitamin supplements that could be bought over the counter without the need for a prescription. This led to shop vitamin supplements being widely available in grocery stores and even gas stations, especially for the most commonly required shop vitamin supplements such as vitamin C. The production of shop vitamin supplements has increased to such a level that there are now specific shop vitamin supplements available to cater for different age groups, including children and the over 50s. The increase in demand for shop vitamin supplements does not seem to be decreasing but the variety and choice available to consumers is constantly being improved.

The laws governing the sale of drugs have led to many companies diversifying their businesses to concentrate on selling shop vitamin supplements. This has been one of the main reasons for the appearance of a number of internet based businesses selling a wide variety of shop vitamin supplements. The sales tactics for these websites are becoming increasingly more dubious with the promise that some of their shop vitamin supplements can cure almost any illness or condition. The regulation of these internet shop vitamin supplements is constantly being found to be lacking and the federal drug administration is powerless to prevent some of these sites from making false claims. It is therefore down to the consumer to research the claims of these store vitamin supplement manufacturers and to make their own judgment as to the validity of the sales pitches. The most important factor to consider is the possible overdose effects that some of these shop vitamin supplements can have. There are a number of vitamins that can actually be toxic if consumed in too high a quantity and a person should always obtain professional medical advice before consuming any form of store vitamin supplement whether it claims to be from natural sources or not. This applies to shop vitamin supplements that are purchased from a specialist vitamin supplement retail outlet, grocery store or internet company.
