There's no maximum age that stops a man from being able to have a baby. You can become a father long into your older years, but there are risks. While men can produce sperm their entire lives, sperm quality and quantity decline with age.
Here's what you need to know:
- Peak Fertility: Men are most fertile between the ages of 22 and 25.
- Decline in Fertility: After age 35, male fertility begins to worsen, with a higher risk of mutations in the sperm.
- Older Fathers and Risks: Older fathers have a higher risk of their children developing certain conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia.
While men can get a woman pregnant at any age, the likelihood of conception and potential health risks for the child increase with age.
