Male Infertility - Overview
Only women experience infertility is a myth; it is time to introspect this taboo. Male infertility is increasing at the same level as female infertility.
The development and functioning of the reproductive system in men are hormone-driven. Hormones stimulate the production of sperms in the testis and later help transport into the female reproductive tract during ejaculation. Male infertility is the inability of the male reproductive system to help attain pregnancy in a fertile woman.
What causes azoospermia?
Some of the symptoms that indicate male infertility are:
- Ejaculatory problems
- Erectile dysfunction
- Pain, swelling, and lump in the testicular region
- Unusual breast growth (gynecomastia)
- Less facial/body hair
- Low sperm count or oligospermia (Sperm count <= 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen)
- Nil sperm production/azoospermia
Causes of fertility problems in men
- Varicocele: Enlarged veins may affect sperm quality and production.
- Infections: Reproductive infections can impact sperm production and movement.
- Hormonal Imbalance: Low testosterone or hormonal changes may affect sperm health.
- Blocked Ducts: Blockages can prevent sperm from reaching the semen.
- Retrograde Ejaculation: Semen flows backward into the bladder instead of out.
- Undescended Testicles: May affect normal sperm production.
- High Temperature: Excessive heat can reduce sperm production and quality.
- Genetic Factors: Certain genetic conditions can affect male fertility.
