Wanting a child is not just a woman's matter

Dr. med. Susann KreuzOctober 20254 min

In public perception, wanting a child is often treated as a "women's topic". The reality looks different.

The numbers

  • In about 30% of cases the cause lies with the man
  • In about 30% with the woman
  • In about 30% with both
  • In about 10% the cause remains unclear

What men can do

  • Semen analysis: the most important first step. Simple, painless, quickly assessed.
  • Lifestyle: don't smoke, reduce alcohol, lose excess weight, no tight underwear or hot baths.
  • Supplements: zinc, selenium, folic acid and omega-3 fatty acids can improve sperm quality.
