NEW YORK (Reuters Health) – A new study has revealed why some men have been infertile and have reproductive problems, which are related to their mothers this time.
The study found that men whose mothers experienced stress in life were pregnant, had grown up with infertility, that the testosterone rate was low, as did the total number of sperm, and was unable to reach the female egg for pregnancy. With men whose mothers did not experience any stress during pregnancy, according to Reuters.
The authors of the study concluded this result from their reading in the data of reproductive hormones and the quality and quantity of sperm for 643 men at the age of 20 years.
Sixty-three percent of the men in the study found that their mothers suffered from difficult events early in their pregnancy, such as the death of a relative or close friend, separation, divorce, marital problems, loss of employment, financial problems or complications of pregnancy. At least at the beginning of their pregnancy.
The study found that mothers who did not experience any stressful life experiences early in their pregnancy had a better life and a healthy weight.
"The study was conducted by Dr. Robert Hart, a senior author of the study, a fertility researcher at the University of Western Australia
"The health of women during pregnancy, have a significant impact on the health of offspring after birth, and this stage in childhood until adulthood."
"For the couple planning to create a family … the best time to try to get pregnant is to be as healthy as possible, both in terms of their physical and mental health," Hart said by e-mail.
Hart and his colleagues in the study note that the biological relationship between early pregnancy exposure and stressful life experiences and infertility in men is not well understood, but weeks 8 to 14 are a critical period for male reproductive development. Exposure to stress during this period is likely to have a negative effect On the natural growth process.
Dr. Mohammed Omran Omar, a researcher at the University of Aberdeen in the United Kingdom, who did not participate in the study, said the findings add to the evidence that it is important to manage stress during pregnancy. "Stressful life events are linked to physiological, metabolic and hormonal changes In the body".
But the study is inaccurate, as it lacked data on women's feelings about some experiences, which their team classifies as stressful life experiences.
