Men with a devastating condition are more likely to develop colorectal, thyroid cancers
A study found that men with severe male infertility are more likely to develop colorectal and thyroid cancers. The research analyzed data from over 1.1 million men and found a significant link between male infertility and non-reproductive cancers.
Men with severe male infertility are at a higher risk of developing certain non-reproductive cancers. A study of over 1.1 million men found that those who used assisted reproduction technology had almost twice the risk of colorectal cancer and three times the risk of thyroid cancer. The research suggests a potential genetic link between male infertility and cancer risk. The study's findings are significant as male fertility has been declining globally, with a 60% decrease in sperm counts since 1973. Lifestyle factors such as obesity and smoking are also linked to poorer sperm quality. The research highlights the need for further investigation into the connection between male fertility and overall health.
