Infertility affects one out of every six couples seeking to start a family. A malefactor is a major or contributing cause in at least half of all cases of infertility. This means that infertility affects about 10% of all males in the United States who are trying to conceive.

Low sperm production, abnormal sperm function, or sperm delivery blockages can all contribute to male infertility. Male infertility can be caused by illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, lifestyle choices, and other factors.

Symptoms

The inability to conceive a child is the most common symptom of male infertility. There might be no other visible symptoms or indicators. However, you may also notice the following signs and symptoms:

• Problems with sexual function — for example, difficulty with ejaculation or small volumes of fluid ejaculated reduced sexual desire, or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction).

• Recurrent respiratory infections

• Inability to smell

• Abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia)

• Decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosomal or hormonal abnormality

• A sperm count that is lower than usual (fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen or a total sperm count of less than 39 million per ejaculate)

• Pain, swelling, or a lump in the testicle area

Causes

A variety of issues can prevent cells from developing into sperm and from reaching the egg. The temperature of the scrotum can have an impact on fertility. The following are the most common reasons for male infertility:

• Sperm Disorders

• Varicoceles

• Retrograde Ejaculation

• Immunologic Infertility

• Obstruction

• Hormones

• Medication

Diagnosis

Male fertility issues might be difficult to identify. The most common issues are with sperm production or delivery. A complete medical history and physical examination are required to make a diagnosis. Blood testing and sperm testing may also be recommended by your doctor.
