The male testicles are the equivalent of the female ovaries. The only difference being is that the testicles are located outside of the body whereas the ovaries are located inside the body. Testicles are the male sex organ that produces semen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Causes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Testicular problems are commonly seen in today&#8217;s society. Many factors can cause testicular problems, but some of the most common contributors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Diet<\/li><li>Excessive hormones<\/li><li>STDs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Diet plays a large role in our overall health, including reproductive health. A diet high in meat and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/wellness-prevention\/dangerous-dairy\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"121\" title=\"Dangerous Dairy\">dairy products<\/a> is one of the highest contributing factors in testicular disease including testiculitis, testicular cancer and low sperm count.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consumption of meat and dairy products causes elevated cholesterol levels in the body. This in turn can clog the arteries, including the testicular artery. When this artery becomes clogged, blood and oxygen become less able to reach the testicles and supply them with nutrients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Added hormones can affect both male and female reproductive health. Today, many meat and dairy products contain added hormones. These hormones eventually end up in our bodies, causing an imbalance between estrogen and testosterone. Low sperm count can be one result of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/mens-health\/gynecomastia-man-boobs\/\"><strong>lowered testosterone<\/strong><\/a> in men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Taking synthetic hormones in the form of steroids is another way our natural hormone levels can be disrupted. These hormones can adversely affect the male reproductive system, leading to complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Untreated Sexually Transmitted Diseases can severely impair testicular health as well. When a disease in the body goes untreated, the symptoms can escalate. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/conditions\/genital-herpes\"><strong>STDs<\/strong><\/a> should be treated in a timely manner in order to keep sexual health intact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Healing Naturally<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Modifying your diet is always the first step in alleviating disease. Greatly cutting back on or outright eliminating meat and dairy from your diet is key. A vegan diet is best, as it does not contain any animal or animal by-products. Many males are apprehensive about becoming vegan due to the protein myth, that vegans don&#8217;t acquire adequate amounts of proteins. This notion is false. Plants contain ample amounts of protein. Some high protein plants are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Spirulina<\/li><li>Cholorella<\/li><li>Blue Green Algae<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Irish+Moss&amp;id=113#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"48\" title=\"Herbal products containing Irish Moss\">Irish Moss<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Many professional athletes and body builders follow a vegetarian or vegan diet. It is possible to get plenty of protein without meat or dairy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eat foods that are high in zinc. Zinc is a beneficial mineral to the reproductive system. Males lose large amounts of zinc through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/articles\/emotional-and-mental-health\/nocturnal-emission\/\"><strong>ejaculation<\/strong><\/a>, which needs to be replaced. Zinc-rich foods include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Sunflower seeds<\/li><li>Pumpkin seeds<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Dandelion+Root&amp;id=34#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"114\" title=\"Dandelion Root\">Dandelion root<\/a><\/li><li>Alfalfa<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Burdock+Root&amp;id=35#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"30\" title=\"Herbal products containing Burdock Root\">Burdock root<\/a><\/li><li>Irish moss<\/li><li>Cocculus root<\/li><li>Garlic<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Horsetail&amp;id=89#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"122\" title=\"Horsetail\">Horsetail<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Chaparral+Leaf&amp;id=185#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"89\" title=\"Chaparral\">Chaparral<\/a> leaves<\/li><li>Red Clover tops<\/li><li>Rose hip<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Herbs can also be very helpful in maintaining reproductive health. Herbs that are best for testicular health are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Yohimbe Bark<\/li><li>Catuaba<\/li><li>Tribulis<\/li><li>Sarsaparilla<\/li><li>Cocculus Root<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Licorice+Root&amp;id=59#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"5\" title=\"Products containing Licorice Root\">Licorice Root<\/a><\/li><li>Damiana<\/li><li>Muira Puama<\/li><li>Peruvian Maca<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dherbs.com\/store\/ingredient_search.html?ingredient=Ashwagandha+Root&amp;id=198#containing\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"13\" title=\"Herbal products containing Ashwagandha Root\">Ashwagandha<\/a><\/li><li>Schizandra<\/li><li>Eucommia<\/li><li>Lycii<\/li><li>Epimedium<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Maintaining reproductive health is essential in creating overall health in the body.
