Male Infertility
A couple is said to be inertile when they can't get pregnant after many attempts within the span of one year. When the problem is identified to be with
the man, it is referred to as male infertility.
Causes of Infertility
A man is diagnosed to have male infertility when there is a problem with his ejaculation or his sperm count. Ejaculation is when semen is released through
the penis during orgasm. When the man can’t properly release semen to get the woman pregnant, he can be suffering from: erectile dysfunctions,
premature ejaculation or complications from surgery or radiation therapy.
A low sperm count may be caused by severe mumps infection, hormonal disorder, hereditary factors, or infections. It can also be
triggered by wearing tight or restrictive underwear, excessive use of tobacco, alcohol or illegal drugs, and exposure to radiation or poisonous chemicals.
If the seminal fluid is very thick it may be difficult for the sperm to move through it and into the woman’s reproductive tract.
Treatment
| You may be wondering if male infertility may be treated. Of course, it can be. In fact, more than 50 percent of male infertility cases can be remedied.
Treatment by conventional methods may help the couple get pregnant through normal sexual intercourse. There are medications, antibiotics, and hormones
that a man can take to help in sperm production, get rid of infection, or aid in hormonal imbalance. Also, you can try wearing loose clothing like
boxers or avoiding hot tubs, saunas, and long hot showers. |

Men with idiopathic or unexplained infertility can make lifestyle changes that may result in improvement in his semen analysis. Even men with poor semen
analyses whose conditions are not treatable or unexplained may still have the option of using advanced reproductive techniques to achieve a pregnancy.
Even those men with no sperm in the ejaculate may be able to have some living sperm procured from them through other methods and achieve a pregnancy
using advanced reproductive techniques. Those few men, who produce absolutely no sperm at all, will have this information so that they can explore
other options.
