This article said that a person excessively consume pork kidney as it was rumored to "enhance" the health for a person wanting impregnation.

A couple wanting to have a child took pork kidney every day every meal through various cooking, but after 2 years, no impregnation happens. Hence the couple got worried and go for a check up. His wife turns out fine, but the problem lies on the male. Report shows that the male has very low sperm count, 1/5 lesser compared to normal human. After medication, the male went back for a follow up and it is known that the level of sperm is back to normal.
