More than a million men sterile
in China
7 November 2011
At least a million men in China
have fertility problems, the Beijing Times reported on Monday.
According to a research, millions
of men have prostatic disorders in China, the report said. More than a million
men have been found to be infertile, and 50 percent of men over the age of 40
have ED (erectile dysfunction), the paper said.
The increase in male infertility
is closely related to increasing pressure in day-to-day life and environmental
deterioration, Ye Linyang, director of the urology department of Beijing-based
304 Military Hospital, told the paper. "Symptoms of male menopause which
should appear in men above 60 can now be found in men around 40," said Ye.
A public education campaign on
men's health will be launched by the China Health Education Center, the paper
said. The campaign aims to reach 250 million people, 20 percent of the total
population, through publicity on posters and distributing health education
handbooks, the paper said.
It was estimated that China population now has reach 1.3 billion. The world just celebrated the 7 billionth baby so we can say that China population is almost 20% of the world. And if not due to one child policy that on effect since 1979 China would have more people.
And just wonder if the "At least a million men in China have fertility problems," were ok, then how many people would be in China.
