Most doctors definitively call a couple "infertile" when the couple has had unprotected intercourse for a period of one year or more, with no pregnancies. Almost the very moment men and women are declared to be infertile, the treatment options are discussed and evaluations and testings can begin. treatment is usually undergone by the couple as a unit, as studies have shown that males are at least partially responsible for the partner's inability to become pregnant in about 50% of couples.

There are many treatment plans prescribed to men. There are natural treatment options as well as more intensive- even surgical treatment possibilities. Before a couple decides to start any treatment option that requires surgery or extensive testing of the male body for "defects", they should consider a few 'do-it-yourself' treatment options.

The type of male treatment prescribed by doctors will depend on test results, and the doctor's theory for the reason of infertility. Many doctors will suggest artificial insemination for treatment, particularly if the cause of is due to low semen volumes in the male or cervical hostility in the female partner.

An treatment you can "try at home' before putting your reproductive future in the hands of your doctor involves removing toxins from your environment that may be inhibiting the healthy growth of sperm. People in general are exposed to a large number of toxins daily- although many can be removed or reduced to safer levels and should be whenever treatment is required.
