Causes of male infertility

Male infertility is most often the result of a low sperm count or anatomical abnormalities.  Low sperm count is usually caused by problems that affects either sperm production or sperm transport and it generally relies on the quality and quantity of the man. It is believed that infertility problem lies more with the male partner.
Ii is estimated that one in 20 men has some kind of fertility problem with low numbers of sperm in his ejaculate, however only about one in every 100 men have no sperm in his ejaculate.

Risk factors for male infertility

1. Endocrine disorder - The quality and quantity of the sperm can be disrupted by bispheonl A. a compound found in plastic bottles and cans
2. Radiation or excessive heat from cellphones, laptops etc.- The radiation, vibration and excessive heat can decrease the sperm potency by 15%
3.  Prolong fever- Exposure to high temprature because of prolong fever
4. Testicle wasting  - Infection such as mumps may occur it causes the lower jaw to be swollen and the testes to enlarge and shrink, this germ destroy the capacity of the testes
5. Obesity - Obesity also can reduce sperm count
6. Stress - The quality of sperm is directly associated with the quality of your overall health and state of mind. 
7. High temperature - Exposure to high temperature decreases the sperm count alarmingly
8. Smoking - This can turn you impotent by reducing the blood flow to the private part due to decreasing blood vessel
9. STDs - Infection account for about 90% of male infertility e.g gonorrhea, syphilis, even staphylococcus, all these can depopulate the sperm or cause scarring to reduce sperm traffic
10. Hormones - Sex hormone may crash and also run out of balance with one another leading to infertility problem and male menopause
11. Sperm structure - The sperm is divided into three basic parts, head, neck and tail,  the tail help the sperm to swim to the egg, but when sperm cells are weak, the motility rate is very slow
12. Alcohol consumption - This have high risk in damaging sperm quality
13. Exposure to toxins and heavy metals destroy the sperm

Causes of female infertility
 Most problems of female infertility results from problems with producing eggs, which may be as a result of premature ovarian failure, blocked or damaged fallopian tubes, endometriosis, uterian fibriods, acidic virgina, cervical issues, some women may develop anti-bodies to their partners sperm thereby becoming allergic to it and sometimes unexplained infertility

PROSTATE CANCER

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in men, and second most frequent cause of cancer related death in men. It is a malignant (cancerous) tumor that begins in the prostate gland. The prostate is a walnut-size gland located between the bladder and the penis, it is in front of the rectum and the urethra runs through the center of the prostate from the bladder to the penis, letting urine flow out of the body. The gland produces some of the fluid that nourishes and protect sperm and plays a role in urine control in men, during ejaculation the prostate squeezes the fluid into the urethra and it expelled with sperm as semen. 

The prostate enlarge with age to an average weight of 40 grams in men in their 70s, many men experience unirary changes as they age, which may be caused by inflammation or enlargement of the prostate gland, and because the prostate is directly involved with sexual reproduction, removing it will affect semen production and fertility.

Prostate cancer begins when some cells in the prostate becomes abnormal, mutations in the abnormal cells cause the cells to grow. Prostate cancer grows slowly and may need little or no treatment because it may not cause problem for years, but some are aggresive and can divide more rapidly than normal cells do and spread quickly. The accumulating abnormal cells form a tumor that can grow to affect nearby tissue some can break off and spread to other parts of the body e.g nearby organs such as bladder, bones etc.





Types of prostate problem

1. Prostatitis: This is inflammation of the prostate and it is sometimes caused by infection
2. Enlarged prostate: Called benign prostatic hypertrophy, this is prostate growth that affects virtually all men over 50years.

Causes of enlarged prostate gland

1. Inflammation of the prostate gland

BREAST CANCER

Breast cancer is the cancer that develop from breast cells, it usually start off in the inner lining of milk ducts or the lobules that supply them with milk, the breast cells become cancerous because of the mutation of the cells which increases without control. A malignant tumor can spread to other parts of the body if not immediately arrested, it is said that every tumor is cancerous except when proved otherwise, every case of tumor should be well investigated and approprate messure should be taken to arrest or stop the growth of this deadly disease. There are many types of breast cancer with stages, a breast cancer that started off in the lobules is known as lobular carcinoma, while the one that develop from the ducts is called ductal carcinoma. Breast cancer mostly occurs in females except for few men that are bursty. The rate of breast cancer are much higher in developed countries and the reasons for this is simply lifestyle and toxic load.

A mature human female breast consist of fat, convective tissues and thousands of lobules tiny glands which produce milk, the milk of a breast feeding mother goes through tiny ducts and is delivered through the nipples. The breast like any other part of the body consist of millions of microscopic cells, this cells multiply in an orderly fashion, new cells are made to replace the ones that died, but in cancer the cells multiply uncontrollably.

11. Changes in size and shape of the breast
12. Nipple or breast skin peeling, scaling of flaking

Risk factor

1. Age: The older the woman, the higher her risk of developing breast cancer
2. Genetic: Women who have close relatve with breast cancer are likely to develop it
3. History of breast cancer: Women who have had breast cancer are more likely to develop it again
4. Dense breast tissue: Women with fence breast tissues are likely to have cancer
5. Estrogen exposure: Women who started having periods earlier or enter menopause later than usual have higher risk
6. Obesity: Post menopausal obese and overweight women may have higher risk
7. Alcohol consumption: The more alcohol a woman regularly drinks, the higher her risk
8. Radiation exposure: Undergoing x-ray and CT scan may raise a woman risk of having breast cancer
9. Hormone replacement therapy: This is a cause of higher risk in women for breast cancer
10. Certain jobs: Jobs that bring the body into contact with possible carcinogens and endocrine disruptor are at risk
11. Cosmetic implants: Women with breast implants are at higher risk
12. High sugar intake: Increases the risk of breast cancer and hasten it's spread to the lungs

Breast examination

1. Inspection

You need a mirror to do this so as to see your own reflectionreflection

What to look out for:

• Compare the size of both breast
• Check for lump, changes on skin and color changes on breast

• It provides false positive result and causes women to be exposed to additional x-rays, creating an environment of further stress 

2. Chemotherapy: 

Questionable chemotherapy drugs terribly toxic and highly expensive Dr. Lana Levi of University of California wrote "most cancer patients die of chemotherapy and not of the killer disease called cancer"

3. Radiotherapy: 

Though high energy radiation shrink tumor and kill cancer cells, the radiation also causes damage to healthy cells and tissues destroying the patients health completelly
