Men too have biological clock: May father children with abnormalities in old age

The studies so far have always advised women to plan a baby by the age of 35 as delaying pregnancy can lead to several problems both for the mother and more so for the new born.

The male fertility clock? An unknown subject in the early times. Especially the old macho man was known to be a fertile soil which could create an offspring whenever desired.

The age old myths are soon being challenged by science and technology and so the male fertility clock is also not to be spared. Recent studies show that there is a fertility clock that is ticking in males too and as age progresses the male (cannot be generalised for all males) also has a reduced sperm count and the paternal age can have an impact on the new born.

The child born can be one with abnormalities like autism and other serious problems. The stressful life of today adds to the problems of male fertility. So the men of today have to definitely stop to ponder over this very important issue which has achieved great significance and has come to play the role of a deciding factor in many lives.

In the fast paced, complex world of today please do stop for a minute, catch your breath from running in this terrific rat race and catch up on all the reading one can on serious issues like this and do not delay in taking important decisions that can be a turning point in one’s life.
