Low s***m count: 5 ways men damage their s***m without knowing
Low s***m count among men is gradually becoming a norm across the world.

Health professionals have described it as an underlying problem which could be attributed to a hormonal imbalance, an inherited chromosomal abnormality and dilated testicular veins.

These conditions often block the passage of s***m which may cause early signs and symptoms of damage.

While most men would want to avoid a complete absence of s***m, research shows that s***m count is considered lower than normal should one have fewer than 15 million s***m per milliliter of semen.

Having a low s***m count decreases the odds that one of your s***m will fertilize your partner's eggs. However, many men who have a low s***m count are still able to father a child.

Though the causes of low s***m count could be hormonal or inherited, there are some very common ways and habits that cause damage even without knowing.

GhanaWeb in the piece has compiled some of the causes and habits that could lead to a low s***m count as per research.

Tight Boxers:
Most men rather wear tight pants instead of wearing boxers. These tight pants often keep your testicles closer to the body which result in warm temperatures that kill s***m and equally lead to a low s***m count.

Infections:
The most common among a low s***m count could be associated with infections and these could be sexually transmitted ones.

They often occur in the testicles and can block s***m production or cause an abnormal discharge. Some of these infections could be derived through Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) such as gonorrhea or HIV.

These infections if not properly treated could result in permanent damage to the te**is and subsequently lead to infertilities.

Varicoceles:
Varicoceles is the swelling of the te**is veins which is also a major cause of low s***m count and infertility often found among men.

Varicoceles creates an abnormal temperature inside the te**is which might kill some s***m or reduce s***m quality. Health professionals however say this could be treated.

Prolonged use of laptops and phones
Another common cause of low s***m count is the persistent use of laptops under one’s laps. Most laptops often generate a heat temperature of up to 70°C while in use.

Owing to this, a rather prolonged use of laptops carried on the laps may cause irreparable damage to a male’s reproductive function.

Health professionals have advised that laptops placed on a table or desk during use. For mobile phones, health professionals advise that it be placed in the back pocket.

Illegal Drugs, Steroids and Alcohol
Studies have shown that the excessive use of some legal and illegal drugs, alcohol can have long lasting effects on male reproductive function.

It’s been found that some anti-inflammatory drugs like Sulfasalazine and other anti-cancer drugs can cause s***m damage.

The use of co***ne, to***co, ma*****na and other illicit drugs also can result in low s***m count.

Coronavirus: 5 False Viral Health Prescriptions You Should Ignore

Coronavirus (Covid-19) is spreading across many countries in the world and Ghana recorded its 21 case on March 22, 2020 with 1 dead. While there’s currently no known cure, there are many messages circulating on various social media platforms that are proffering local and home-made remedies as protection from the pandemic disease. The fact-checking team of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA) has verified some of these widespread claims against reports from medical experts, the World Health Organisation (WHO), and other credible institutions designated to inform the public on the disease.

Claim 1: Using alcohol to wash your hands in place of hand sanitizers can prevent the contraction of Covid-19
Verdict: Completely False
Explanation: According to the Director of the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research (NMIMR), Professor Abraham Annan, the use of alcohol in place of hand sanitizers can increase the probability of picking up the virus. Professor Annan said , alcohol can be a good disinfectant. However, alcohol that is used for disinfection is treated with distilled water and kept at a certain concentration. Therefore, when one uses a locally brewed gin or alcohol with different concentration, it is likely to coat the hands with a sticky substance which would rather pick up germs including the coronavirus and can lead to the increase of infection.
The Centre for Plant Medicine Research (CPMR) in Mampong Akuapem has also downplayed the assertion that an alcohol can be used in place of hand sanitizers. In a statement released on March 17, 2020, the Centre explained that: “For a sanitizer to be effective in ridding the hands of coronavirus, sanitizers must have 60-95% alcohol by volume, and that alcohol content for bitters on the market is often less than 45%”.
The best way form of protection is washing your hands with soap under running water.

Garlic

Claim 2: Eating a lot of garlic can prevent you from catching Covid-19
Verdict: Completely False
Explanation: The World Health Organization (WHO) states that, though garlic is a healthy food with antimicrobial properties in it, there is no proof that it can protect people from contracting Covid-19. Eating garlic on its own is not harmful. They can however become harmful if one eats them at the detriment of adhering to scientifically proven or medically proven evidence strategies to protect them from contracting the virus.
Claim 3: Drinking water every fifteen (15) minutes can prevent the contraction of Covid-19
Verdict: Completely false
Explanation: A tweet on the WHO’s official Twitter account states in part: “While staying hydrated by drinking water is important for overall health, it does not prevent coronavirus infection.” Other experts have explained that viruses like Covid-19 are respiratory and enter the body through the respiratory tract when you breathe in, and this may lead to some of the virus entering your mouth. The constant drinking of water is not going to stop you from contracting the virus or wash it down into your stomach and kill it as some social media messages seem to indicate. However, drinking water and staying hydrated is good medical advice which can help promote other physiological functions which may boost your immune system.

Home-made Sanitizers

Claim 4: Home-made sanitizers are a good substitute to commercially produced ones
Verdict: Completely false
Explanation: Medical experts are warning consumers about making home-made sanitizers or buying do-it-yourself hand-gels made by amateurs. They explain that home-made hand sanitizers are not more effective than commercially produced ones and that the recipes going around online are better suited for cleaning surfaces and not for the human skin. This is because alcohol-based hand sanitizers contain moisturizers that make them gentle on the skin even though they contain 60 to 70% of alcohol. The Centre for Disease Control (CDC) points out that most common household cleaning agents should be effective in disinfecting surfaces against the Coronavirus.

Claim 5: Exposure to the sun and drinking hot water kills the virus

Verdict: Mostly False
Explanation: Experts say even though flu virus does not survive well outside the body during very hot weather or high temperatures, there is no evidence if the same rings true for the Covid-19. Thus, claims that purport exposure to the sun and drinking hot water will kill the virus are unsubstantiated.
UNICEF further explains that in order to kill a virus with heat, the required temperature is around sixty (60) degrees Celsius. Claims that having hot baths and or drinking hot liquids do not actually change the body’s temperature unless you are ill. Exposing your body to the sun or with the presumption that it will kill the virus or making your body an unwelcome host to the virus is not true. However, washing your beddings and towels at sixty (60) degrees Celsius can kill any virus in the fabric.
