“The issue of the birth rate decline is one of the issues that worry our country. This year we have 400 thousand fewer births compared to last year. These are important numbers that tell us that there is certainly an additional concern for starting a family on the part of many young men. But there is also a theme linked to the decline in man’s ability to fertilize they also checked the male genital organs and excluded those pathologies, such as varicocele, which can lead to a decrease in fertility. Nowadays, this ‘pit stop’ no longer exists because the compulsory military visit has therefore been eliminated less prevention in this field”. Giuseppe Carrieri, president of the Italian Society of Urology (SIU), said this to Adnkronos Salute on the occasion of the Siu national congress underway in Bari.
“18-year-old men – continues Carrieri – unlike what happens to young women who go to the gynecologist early, do not turn to urologists for an initial evaluation of their fertility. This, certainly, is a fact that we can correlate to the decrease in the arrival of newborns in Italy. Raising awareness” on this issue “is the key word. We must make it clear that prevention is better than cure and, in the field of infertility, a visit around the age of 18 for our children. it is useful in order to verify that those conditions and pathologies are not in place – he concludes – which can lead to a decrease in fertility when they then decide to start a family”.
