Pesticides and Sperm Quality

Pesticides are chemicals used to protect crops from pests, but they can also have unintended effects on health. Research suggests that exposure to certain pesticides may negatively impact sperm quality, leading to lower sperm counts and reduced motility (the ability to move effectively). This decline in sperm quality can affect fertility in men. Studies indicate that both acute and long-term exposure to specific pesticides may interfere with hormone levels and reproductive health. Therefore, understanding and managing pesticide exposure is important for maintaining male reproductive health and overall well-being.
