<strong>Low Sperm Rate Associated With Cancer Risk<a href="http://www.southcountyurological.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/SoCo.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-238" alt="SoCo" src="http://www.southcountyurological.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/SoCo.jpg" width="320" height="201" /></a> </strong>

<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Men who are diagnosed as having no measurable level of sperm before the age of 30 have a higher risk of developing cancer than the general population, according to a study led by Stanford University School of Medicine. A diagnosis of azoospermia before 30 carries an eight-fold cancer risk, the study says. Researchers surmise that infertility could be a barometer for future health. Azoospermia is caused by either a blockage that obstructs sperm from reaching the ejaculate or because the testes don’t produce enough sperm. Most cases of azoospermia occur from the latter cause.</span>
