New research shows there is an unusually high rate of male infertility in T&T which is way and above the international average. According to a study conducted by the T&T IVF & Fertility Centre, 34 per cent of males in T&T have a low sperm count. This rate is considerably higher than the international average which is between 17 and 18 per cent according to the study.

New research shows there is an unusually high rate of male infertility in T&T which is way and above the international average. According to a study conducted by the T&T IVF & Fertility Centre, 34 per cent of males in T&T have a low sperm count. This rate is considerably higher than the international average which is between 17 and 18 per cent according to the study.
These findings were shared yesterday during the first Caribbean Male Infertility Symposium hosted by T&T IVF and the University of the West Indies at the Carlton Savannah Hotel, St Ann’s. The T&T IVF study was conducted between 2009 and 2011 during which 663 sperm samples were collected. Results of the study were compared to international figures from Australia, Finland, Italy and USA.
The research showed that the local prevalence of males with no sperm—a condition called azoospermia—was also higher than international averages. In T&T, the percentage of males with azoospermia is 9.4 per cent which is double the international average of 4-4.9 per cent. Further results from the study showed that the male partner was the cause of the problem for one in three couples assessed at the T&T IVF clinic for infertility.
Additionally, one in every six couples has trouble conceiving in T&T. Dr Catherine Minto-Bain, T&T IVF medical director said the causes of male infertility remained largely unknown. “We really don’t know what the actual causes are underneath. Sperm research around the world is very a vibrant and exciting field and there’s a lot to be found out whether it’s genetic, whether it’s environmental, whether it really truly is just the way we live our lives,†she said.

A diet of foods that contain high saturated fats such as fried chicken, doubles and roti could be one of the causes for the high percentage of men in this country having no sperm.
Use of alcohol, nicotine, marijuana and also stress can be contributing factors, according to Dr Catherine Minto-Bain, clinical director at the Trinidad and Tobago IVF and Fertility Centre.
A study conducted from 2009 to 2011 by the IVF and Fertility Centre on male fertility in Trinidad and Tobago found that there was an extremely high percentage of men with no sperm at all (azoospermia).

Reproduction is a normal human event that is absolutely necessary for the survival of the human race. Infertility is therefore not meant to be the normal course of events and will have a cause even though we may not always find one.
Infertility affects at least 20-25% of couples who are of reproductive age.
This means that at least one in five of the couples you know will be affected by some degree of infertility ! Statistics vary but it would seem that around 35% of men are sub-fertile and at least 2% of men are totally infertile. Furthermore there is a great scientific debate going on just now about evidence suggesting that male fertility is decreasing markedly as a result of modern lifestyles.
The advent of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) and the Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ARTs) have helped several thousand otherwise infertile couples to have children over the last few decades. Even so as many as 10% of couples will be left with an inability to have children because IVF does not work for everyone.

that is a dammed lie and a misdirection..mostly. IF FRIED CHICKEN, ROTI AND DOUBLES ARE PROBLEMATIC IT CAN ONLY BE IF THE FLOUR USED IS GMO..AND THE OILS TO FRY ARE LIKEWISE.
ALL THE OILS HAVE BEEN MODIFIED TO PRODUCE MAXIMUM INTERNAL INFLAMMATORY EFFECT IN THE HUMAN BODY PRODUCING GOD KNOWS WHAT EFFECT, OVER AND ABOVE HEART ATTACK, DIABETES, CANCER ETC.
ALSO CHICKEN MEAT AS IT IS PRODUCED IN TRINIDAD IS A CHEMICAL COCKTAIL THAT COMBINES WITH THE OTHER DELETERIOUS INGREDIENTS TO KILL AND MAIM THOSE WHO EAT IT
SATURATED FATS ARE NOT BAD FOR HUMANITY. HUMANITY GREW UP EATING FAT MEAT
IT IS THE GMO OILS, SUGARS, NATURAL AND ARTIFICIAL..AND LORD KNOWS WHAT ELSE PUT INTO PROCESSED FOOD THAT IS CAUSING THE ARRAY OF HEALTH PROBLEMS IN THE WORLD AT THE MOMENT... BY INFLAMING AND BRAISING THE HUMAN INSIDES, MAKING IT DIFFICULT OR IMPOSSIBLE FOR ALL NATURAL INTERNAL BODY FUNCTIONS TO TAKE PLACE AS THEY SHOULD.
the question of infertility has mainly to do with corn. Trinidadians love corn in all and every form. in agriculture trinidad has always got its seed from the usa, for all its crops. I have little doubt, until corrected.. that the corn that is planted in trinidad is MONSANTO GMO CORN. and that corn has been engineered to kill human sperm cells and produce infertility
THOSE EXPERTS WHO ANALYZED THE SAMPLES ARE BOUND TO BE AWARE OF THIS..YET LOOK AT THE LIES THEY SPEW FOR PUBLIC CONSUMPTION.
THEY ARE NO DOUBT GOVERNMENT AND PRIVATE FUNDED AND ARE THEREFORE COMPELLED TO SPOUT THOSE LIES FOR THE PEOPLE BY THOSE WHO PAID FOR THE STUDY.
BUT IT IS CLEAR TO ME THE PEOPLE OF TITTY ARE BEING POISONED..AS THE PEOPLE IN MOST REGIONS OF THE WORLD.. TO REDUCE HUMAN POPULATION FOR THE NWO. BUT I AM SURE WE WILL SOON FIND OUT MUCH MORE THAN WE KNOW NOW
NAW..ITS NOT THERE CHAIRMAN. BUT i AM FINDING A LOT OF INFO AS I GO
its there look at second post
