Oxidative Stress and Male Fertility

Oxidative stress is a major contributor to declining male fertility worldwide. Excess reactive oxygen species can damage sperm DNA, impair motility, and reduce fertilization potential.

Sources of oxidative stress include smoking, erotic pollution, poor diet, chronic illness, and psychological stress. Andrology addresses oxidative damage through lifestyle intervention, antioxidant therapy, and medical management.

Reducing oxidative stress not only improves fertility outcomes but also supports broader systemic health.
