What is Male Infertility?

Infertility can concern both female and male individuals. Particularly, male infertility is a condition that affects men. Also, it interferes with the ability of their reproductive system to impregnate a female.

However, if you have male infertility, it means that you have repeated unprotected sexual intercourse for over a year, but your female partner has not gotten pregnant.

Since Infertility affects 186 million globally, the male partner is the main cause in about half of the cases. Research suggests that male infertility affects about 10-15% of males who are trying to conceive.

What Causes Male Infertility?

Male infertility can be affected by a range of factors, which include:

Sperm Disorders
Poor Sperm Motility: Sperm that do not swim properly, reducing the chance of reaching and fertilizing an egg.
Low Sperm Count: Having fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen.
Abnormal Sperm Morphology: Sperm with irregular shape that might impair their ability to penetrate and fertilize an egg.
Hormonal Imbalances
Imbalanced hormones like testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can impact sperm production and function.
Anatomical Problems
Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum that can overheat the testicles, impairing sperm production.
Blockages: Obstructions in the ducts that will transport sperm, such as the vas deferens or epididymis, preventing sperm from being ejaculation
Undescended testicles: Testicles that have not descended into the scrotum, which affects sperm production.
Infections
Infections like sexually transmitted infections (STIs), Orchitis (inflammation) or epididymitis can interfere with sperm health.
Genetic disorders
Conditions such as cystic fibrosis or chromosomal abnormalities can affect sperm function and production.
Lifestyle factors
Factors like excessive alcohol, smoking, drug use, obesity, and exposure to environmental toxins can affect sperm quality.
Medical conditions and treatments
Chronic diseases like diabetes and cancer treatments, which include radiation and chemotherapy, can impair fertility.

What are the Risk Factors for Male Infertility?

Several factors can increase a man's risk for infertility. However, these can be broadly categorised into medical conditions and environmental factors.

Medical conditions

Varicocele: This is a swelling of the veins in the scrotum that can impair sperm production.
Undescended testicles: If a boy's testicles don't descend into the scrotum before birth. It can damage sperm production.
Infections: Infections of the testicles, epididymis, or urethra (the tube that carries urine and semen out of the penis)
Retrograde Ejaculation: This is a condition in which semen ejaculates backward into the bladder instead of out of the penis.
