A recent report showed what a professor at the University of Newcastle in New South Wales has to say about male fertility. John Aitken was of the view that all those men who want to start their family must not wait till the age of 35. It's advisable that they have their children before they reach their mid 30s.
It has been claimed that though men do have the tendency to produce sperm, the quality of those gametes reduces with age, which may even make children susceptible to diseases.
There are chances of men with damaged sperm passing on diseases like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, epilepsy and autism, to their children, thereby making it all the more clear that men must not wait too long to enjoy fatherhood.
"Their sense of family, concepts of fatherhood, genetic heritage and self esteem are strong feelings that are sometimes misunderstood and underestimated", said Chris Skellett, a consultant at Otago Fertility Services in Otago, while speaking on the topic of men and infertility at a Fertility Society of Australia conference held in Auckland this week.
There is dire need to deal with such sensitive issues in the best possible manner as unlike women, men are a lot reserved to share their sexual inhibitions.
