It further revealed that the primary cause of this alarming rate of infertility among men is majorly due to unhealthy lifestyle choices, especially excessive drinking, smoking, the use of sex-enhancing drugs, sedentary lifestyle, stress, among others.
The Chief Medical Director of the Nordica Fertility and Fibroid Care Centre, Dr. Abayomi Ajayi, who made this known during a briefing to commemorate its ten years anniversary in Abuja, also called for legislation on assisted conception to reduce quackery in the country.
He said: “Men now are probably the greater culprit in infertility. What we say normally is that it is between 30 to 40 per cent for men and 30 to 40 per cent for women. But we know now that all over the world and in Nigeria, the male factor is increasing.
