This is getting really bad (2025) we would recommend that all men, considering having children, or even it is not in the ballpark yet, to go into a fertility clinic and get a test and freeze your sperm cyrogenically.

At the Mas Clinic we are well aware of how much sperm counts are dropping and by how much testosterone is dropping around Calgary and Canada.

New Research Insights (2025):

  • WHO reports accelerated decline of 2.6% annually since 2018
  • Phthalates and PFAS chemicals shown to impair spermatogenesis
  • North America/Europe see 62% drop vs 48% global average
  • Dietary shifts (processed foods) correlate with reduced semen quality
  • Oxidative stress from environmental toxins damages sperm DNA

Emerging studies now link microplastic accumulation in testes to inflammatory markers and abnormal sperm morphology. Preventive strategies focusing on antioxidant-rich diets and BPA-free lifestyles show promise in clinical trials.

“The Hebrew University/Mount Sinai paper was a meta-analysis by a team of epidemiologists, clinicians, and researchers that culled data from 185 studies, which examined semen from almost 43,000 men. It showed that the human race is apparently on a trend line toward becoming unable to reproduce itself. Sperm counts went from 99 million sperm per milliliter of semen in 1973 to 47 million per milliliter in 2011, and the decline has been accelerating. Would 40 more years—or fewer—bring us all the way to zero?”
