Infertility Is The Inability To Achieve And/or Maintain Pregnancy, After A Couple Has Had One Year Of Unprotected, Well-timed Intercourse (at The Time Of Ovulation).

Approximately 30% To 40% Of All Infertility Is Due To A Male Factor.

Around 40% To 50% Female Factor Is Responsible For Infertility.

Male Reproductive System

The Remaining 10% To 30% May Be Caused By Contributing Factors In Both Partners, Or No Cause Can Be Adequately Identified.

Infertility Can Be Caused By Any Interruption In The Usual Process Of Fertilization, Pregnancy, And Birth.

There Are A Wide Range Of Physical As Well As Emotional Factors Which Play Role For Infertility In Couples.

As We Said Above That There Are Many Physical As Well As Psychological Factors That Play Role In An Infertility.

In Case Of Male Infertility The Most Common Factor Include Azoospermia (no Sperm Cells Are Produced) And Oligospermia (few Sperm Cells Are Produced).

In Some Cases Sperm Cells Are Malformed(teratozoospermia)or They Die Before They Can Reach The Egg.

In Rare Cases, Infertility In Men Is Caused By A Genetic Disease Such As Cystic Fibrosis Or A Chromosomal Abnormality.( Klinefelter Syndrome).

Condition That Increases The Temperature Of The Testes (where Sperm Are Produced) Can Greatly Reduce The Number Of Sperm And The Vigor Of Sperm Movement And Can Increase The Number Of Abnormal Sperm.

Following Are Some Conditions That Increase The Temperature Of Testes…

Exposure To Excessive Heat

Disorders That Produce A Prolonged Fever

Other Medical Conditions That Can Affect Male Fertility Include Any Severe Injury Or Major Surgery, Diabetes, HIV, Thyroid Disease, Cushing Syndrome, Heart Attack, Liver Or Kidney Failure, And Chronic Anemia.

Undescended Testes (a Rare Abnormality Present At Birth)

Varicocele

Varicose Veins In The Testes (varicocele)

Certain Hormonal Or Genetic Disorders May Interfere With Sperm Production, Like Hyperprolactinemia, Hypothyroidism, Hypogonadism, And Disorders Of The Adrenal Gland (which Produces Testosterone And Other Hormones) Or Pituitary Gland (which Controls Testosterone Production).

Other Causes Of Reduced Sperm Production Include Mumps That Affect Testes (mumps Orchitis), Injury To Testes, Exposure To Industrial Or Environmental Toxins And Drugs.

Among Drugs That Can Affect Male Fertility Are Cimetidine (Tagamet), Sulfasalazine (Azulfidine), Salazopyrine, Colchicine, Methadone, Methotrexate (Folex), Phenytoin (Dilantin), Corticosteroids, Spironolactone (Aldactone), Thioridazine (Mellaril), And Calcium Channel Blockers.

Some Of The Physical Anomaly Like Serious Disorders Of The Testes And Blocked Or Missing Vas Deferens, Missing Seminal Vesicles And Blockage Of Both The Ejaculatory Ducts May Result In Azoospermia (complete Absence Of Sperm)

A Simple Test Is Semen Analysis. The Pre-requisites Are –
Abstinence From Sex Or Masturbation For 4-5 Days Prior To The Day Of Test.
The Sample Given Should Not Be More Than Half Hour Old.
It Should Be Collected In A Wide-mouthed, Clean Jar By Masturbation.
The Sample Is To Be Kept At Room Temperature.
Other Sophisticated Tests Like Sperm Viability Test, Sperm Penetration Assay, Antisperm Antibodies Test May Be Required In Certain Cases.
Testicular Function Can Be Assessed By Male Hormone Levels In Blood Of The Male, Or By Testicular Biopsy.

The Effects Of Medications On Sperm Quality And Count Have Not Been Rigorously Studied, And Many Medicines Are Commonly Prescribed Without Knowing Whether They Impair Fertility.

Anabolic Steroids (which Are Often Abused By Weight Lifters And Other Athletes) Deserve Special Notice Because They Are Known To Severely Impair Sperm Production.

Apart From Medication There Are Many Advanced Methods Which Can Solve The Problem Of An Infertile Couple. They Are…

Smoking & Excessive Alcohol Intake Is Associated With Low Sperm Counts. These Habits Should Be Discontinued.

Stop Using Drugs Such As Body-building Steroids & Illicit Drugs. Other Medication Such As Antihypertensives Should Also Be Reviewed In The Light Of Effect On Sperm Count.

Most Importantly The Frequency Of Intercourse Should Be Increased, So That Chances Of Conception Increase.

Men Should Wear Loose Fitting Underwear And Cool Clothes And Avoid High Temperature Baths Like Saunas Etc.

It Is Advisable That When The Couple Is Planning Pregnancy, Intercourse Is Done In A Proper Position And Using Proper Technique. Lubricants Such Petroleum Jelly Etc. Should Be Avoided.
