Low sperm count in men can be a really frustrating thing especially for men trying for a baby. These are certain things to watch out for to tell your man’s state.
Women are naturally drawn to men with deep voices
because a macho tone reminds them of all things
manly. And while talking like Barry White packs its
fair share of benefits, it could also mean bad news for
your sperm.

A new study from the University of Western Australia
found that guys with a low-pitched voice had reduced
concentrations of sperm in Ejaculetions.

The possible connection: “Testosterone, which
deepens a man’s voice, also suppresses sperm
production when it’s at high levels,” says lead
researcher Leigh Simmons, Ph.D., an evolutionary
biology professor at Western Australia.

Meanwhile, the pitch of your voice isn’t the only
health clue your body is sending you.
Here are five other surprising body quirks that may be
early signs of health problems.

1. Finger Length

As Men’s Health previously reported, size matters—
when it comes to your fingers.
A study published in the British Journal of Cancer
found that men whose index fingers were longer than
their ring fingers were 33 percent less likely to develop
prostate cancer.
As it turns out, people who have longer index fingers
were exposed to less testosterone when they were a
baby in their mother’s womb, researchers say. This may
help protect against prostate cancer later on.

2. Nail Color

Healthy nails are usually smooth and spotless, but
“redness under your fingernails can be a sign of a
collagen vascular disease like lupus,” says Neil SaD!
ck, M.D., a clinical professor of dermatology at Weill
Cornell Medical College.
“It gives you inflammation of the blood vessels, and
that can present as redness or blood vessels under the
nail itself.”
Research has also found that white nails are linked
with liver issues, and unusual curvatures can even be a
sign of lung cancerl.

3. PEarlobe Wrinkles

Diagonal creases on your earlobes may be a sign of
potential cardiovascular problems, according to a
study from the University of Chicago.
Researchers found particiP@nts with a crease (and no
prior coronary artery disease) were nearly eight times
more likely to experience cardiac events as those
without.
Earlobes may give a reflective health warning because
of the similarities between the blood vessels that
supply the earlobes and the heart, researchers
speculate. Or creases may just be a result of aging.

4. Sense of Smell

The inability to identify certain orders may be a
warning sign of Parkinson’s Disease.
A study led by the Institute for Neurodegenerative
Disorders and the University of Pennsylvania found
that when given a small test, patients with Parkinson’s
could only correctly identify half of the smells
presented.
An additional study in the Annals of Neurology found
that this impaired sense of smell can predate
Parkinson’s by about 4 years.

5. Hair

Although going bald is natural, it could also be a clue
to more serious conditions. “Hair loss can be a sign of
thyroid disease or thyroid cancer,” SaD!ck says.
“If you have an overactive thyroid, or a thyroid that’s
not functioning well, you can get hair loss as a
presenting sign of it.”
Hypothyroidism may also manifest itself in unusual
thinning of the eyebrows. Plus, “sometimes men can
have very fine hairs along their temples early in life,
and that can be a sign of impending genetic hair loss.
