What can cause male infertility? Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system that prevents a person from having children. Male infertility means that the man has a problem with his reproductive system.
Here are some common causes of infertility in men: Sperm Disorders: Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia): When a man’s semen contains fewer sperm than normal, it can reduce the chances of fertilization. Poor Sperm Motility (Astheno-spermia): If sperm have difficulty moving or swimming properly, they may have trouble reaching the egg for fertilization. Abnormal Sperm Morphology (Teratozoospermia): Sperm with irregular shapes or structures may have difficulty penetrating the egg. 2
Ejaculation Issue: Retrograde Ejaculation: In this condition, semen enters the bladder instead of being ejaculated out of the penis, which reduces the number of sperm released during ejaculation. Premature Ejaculation: Ejaculating too quickly can limit the chances of sperm reaching the egg. Obstruction or Blockage Blockage in the Reproductive Tract: Conditions such as a congenital absence of the vas deferens or scarring due to infections can obstruct the passage of sperm during ejaculation. 2
Hormonal Imbalances Hormonal Disorders: Conditions like hypogonadism (low testosterone levels) or hyperprolactinemia can impact sperm production and fertility. Sexual Dysfunction Erectile Dysfunction: Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection can make sexual intercourse, and therefore conception, difficult. Painful Intercourse: Pain during sexual intercourse can discourage regular attempts at conception. 2
Undescended Testicles (Cryptorchidism): Testicles that do not descend into the scrotum can lead to reduced sperm production and quality. Testicular Injury or Trauma: Physical damage to the testicles can impair sperm production. Testicular Issues Infections and Inflammation Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Infections such as chlamydia or gonorrhea can lead to scarring or blockages in the reproductive tract. Orchitic: Inflammation of the testicles, often caused by mumps, can affect sperm production. 2
Exposure to Toxins: Certain chemicals, radiation, and heavy metals can negatively affect sperm production and quality. Environmental Factors Lifestyle Factors Smoking and Alcohol: Excessive smoking and alcohol consumption can harm sperm. Obesity: Being overweight can lead to hormonal imbalances that impact fertility. Stress: Chronic stress may affect sperm production. Medications and Treatments: Some medications, such as certain chemotherapy drugs, can impair sperm production. Similarly, treatments like radiation therapy can affect fertility. 2
Genetic Factors: • Some genetic conditions can cause male infertility, such as Klinefelter syndrome, Y-chromosome microdeletions, and cystic fibrosis. • It’s essential for couples experiencing difficulties with conception to seek medical advice from a fertility specialist or urologist. A thorough evaluation can help identify the underlying cause of male infertility, and treatments or interventions may be available to address specific issues and improve the chances of successful conception. 2
