Factors that Influence Male Fertility

About 50% of the infertility cases are caused by the malefactors of infertility or inability of getting their partners pregnant even after 1 year of unprotected intercourse. Male fertility is measured by sperm quality, production, count, shape, size, motility, and morphology. Infertility in males is due to low sperm production, irregular sperm performance, blockages that stop the transfer of sperm. All these irregularities are initiated due to the following factors.

  1. Chronic Disease Regular exposure to radiation to treat cancer can cause issues for sperm production or quality. Any illness such as typhoid, influenza, tuberculosis, or smallpox can cause fever or temperature. Due to over-temperature the testicles may function inappropriately and fail to produce sperms. Medicines used for curing long-term ailment may imbalance the sexual hormones and causes failure to trigger sperm production.

  2. Injury to Sexual organs Any injury or trauma in the reproductive organ such as the scrotum, testis, and so on causes the failure of sperm production. Any damage in the testicles restricts sperm production and any blockage in the duct stops sperm transfer to the penis for ejaculation.
