Blaming Lifestyle Factors: A Closer Look at Male Infertility
Dr. Alan Lindemann (Rural Doc Alan) explains:
Lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, drug use, and obesity are often blamed
But the real causes may include:
High prolactin levels
Autoimmune diseases (like lupus)
Tiny bacteria such as chlamydia, ureaplasma, and mycoplasma
Parasites like toxoplasmosis
Chemotherapy or radiation exposure
Male infertility is complex—and deserves better than blame.
