Males must safeguard their own and their spouses’ reproductive health by:
- Contraception should be used with caution, consistency, and accuracy.
- Keeping the risk of sexually transmitted illnesses to a minimum.
- Identifying and addressing problems that may affect fertility, as well as obtaining treatment when necessary.
Men should talk to their doctor about which contraceptive technique is appropriate for them, taking into account their overall health, age, sexual activity frequency, number of partners, desire to have children in the future, and family history of specific disorders. When contraceptive techniques are used appropriately and regularly, they perform best. When contraception is used poorly or inconsistently, it raises the risk of pregnancy and, in some situations, STDs.
It is critical to speak with a healthcare provider about the risk factors for STDs and to inquire about being tested. Because many STDs do not create symptoms, it is possible to have an STD and be unaware of it. Men with STDs should seek treatment from a healthcare provider to alleviate symptoms, slow the progression of the disease, and reduce or eliminate the risk of transmitting an STD to their partner.
If you and your partner want to start a family but are experiencing trouble conceiving, both the male and female partners should meet with a healthcare specialist to examine fertility. Male reproductive disorders, alone or in combination with female reproductive issues, account for more than a third of infertility cases. Many of the causes of male infertility, however, have therapies accessible.
Male Reproductive health
Both inside and outside the pelvis, the male’s reproductive organs, or genitals, are found. The following are examples of male genitals:
- Male reproductive organs (pronounced: TESS-tih-kulz)
- The epididymis and vas deferens, which make up the duct system
- Seminal vesicles and prostate glands are auxiliary glands.
- Testicles
The two oval-shaped testicles, or testes (pronounced TESS-teez), in a man who has reached sexual maturity produce and store millions of microscopic sperm cells.
The testicles, which produce hormones such as testosterone, are also part of the endocrine system (pronounced: tess-TOSS-tuh-rone). In boys, testosterone is a big part of puberty. As a boy progresses through puberty, his testicles create an increasing amount of it. The hormone testosterone is responsible for boys’ louder voices, larger muscles, and body and facial hair. It also helps to increase sperm production.
The epididymis and the vas deferens, which transport sperm, are located next to the testicles. The epididymis (pronounced ep-uh-DID-uh-miss) and testicles are located outside the pelvis in a pouch-like structure known as the scrotum. This skin bag aids in maintaining the temperature of the testicles, which must be kept colder than body temperature to generate sperm. To keep the right temperature, the scrotum shrinks. To keep body heat in, the scrotum shrinks and tightens when the body is chilly. When it gets hot, it expands and flops to dissipate the excess heat. This occurs without the need for a man to think about it. The brain and nerve system signal the scrotum to expand or contract.
Male Reproductive System Work
Male reproductive organs:
- Creates sperm (pronounced: SEE-mun)
- During sexual contact, the male discharges sperm into the female’s reproductive system.
- During puberty, it generates sex hormones that help a boy develop into a sexually mature man.
A baby boy is born with all of the components of his reproductive system in place, but he cannot procreate until he reaches puberty. The pituitary gland, which is positioned near the brain, secretes chemicals that drive the testicles to generate testosterone when puberty begins, usually between the ages of 9 and 15. Many bodily changes occur as a result of testosterone production.
Although the timing of these changes varies from boy to boy, the phases of puberty generally follow a predictable pattern:
- The scrotum and testes expand during the initial stage of male puberty.
- The penis lengthens, and the seminal vesicles and prostate gland expand.
- Hair grows in the pubic area first, then the face and underarms. The voice also deepens during this period.
- Guys experience a growth spurt as they approach adult height and weight during puberty.
