From my previous post, a doctor has suggested that wearing tight underwear can be harmful for men's fertility. Wearing tighter underwear could slow sperm production by raising the temperature of the testicles. How true is this? It's started to frightened me, well now I can feel that my underwear feels to be tighter than before...!

 What cause infertility in MAN?

 We may heard that smoking cigarettes or marijuana could be the reason. According to some research smoking tobacco has been connected to the low sperm counts and sluggish motility. As well as long term use of marijuana can cause to low sperm count and abnormal development of sperm.

Also,  alcohol can reduce the production of normally formed sperm needed for a successful pregnancy.    So decrease consuming of alcoholic drink

On the other hands, both overweight and underweight men can have fertility problems. With too much weight, there can be hormonal disturbances, and when a mans too lean, he can have decreased sperm count and functionality.

Those are the few advices in order to ensure fertility in men. There's more possible reasons such as lack of healthy lifestyle e.g lack or exercise, usage of steroid, expose to toxins.

There are few source still reject partially that the ideas above may cause the problem, an informative website - articles.nydailynews.com suggest that  researchers found no association between sperm motility and smoking, alcohol, recreational drug use or being overweight, although wearing tight underwear was associated with reduced sperm motility - NHS.

The temperature of the testes is at issue: In order for testes to produce sufficient quality and quantity of sperm, the temperature of testes must be lower than the core body temperature.

"That is why [testes] are located outside of the body," explains Celia E. Dominguez, reproductive endocrinologist, Center for Reproductive Medicine at the Emory University School of Medicine. "Testes were made to be out in the breeze."

Testes can overheat when a man wears brief underwear. If the testes are too hot -- several degrees above where they should be -- they are not able to produce sufficient sperm, resulting in low sperm count.

Just be aware, it takes 10 to 11 weeks for sperm to be produced -- so plan accordingly, says Amos Grunebaum, MD, director of clinical maternal-fetal medicine at the New York Hospital-Cornell Weill Medical College.

"You can't just wear boxer shorts the night before romantic date, and expect it to work," he tells WebMD. "Anything you do that damages sperm will affect them for the next 10 to 11 weeks."

 So if a guy wants to be really fertile, boxers are the way to go. Truth is, this has yet to be scientifically proven. But if youre trying to get pregnant, theres no harm in wearing loose clothing and staying out of hot tubs and saunas.

Since infertility affects one in 25 men these days, it is important to take care and maintain a healthy lifestyle and a good attitude is the way to become a fertile man.
