even after attempting frequent sexual intercourse
without any protection for years. One-third of
these couples have the infertility issue in
men. The reason behind male infertility is low
sperm count, blockages that abort the delivery of
sperm or abnormal sperm function. There can be

causing infertility in men Sperm is manufactured
inside testicles, thereafter it passes through
epididymis (a series of small tubes) spending
about 2-10 days. In this span, the sperm gets
matured and come into vas deferens (a larger
tube). The vas deferens channel the sperm into
the ejaculatory duct, where it comes in contact
with seminal fluid which comes from the prostate
gland and the seminal vesicles to form a
mixture.

The semen is forced into the urethra and finally
out of the penis due to muscular contractions
during ejaculation. Around one in three cases of
infertility in men is due to absences or blockage
of tubes (the vas deferens as well). Injury or
vasectomy can be a reason behind the blockage or
absence of tubes. Problems with sperm causing
infertility in men Genetic factors are thought
to be responsible for the problems with sperm
count or its quality. The sperm problems can also
lead to the absence of tiny fragments of the male
chromosome in some men. This may result
in ?     Azoospermia (Absent sperm) - when the
sperm is absent in semen. Testicular failure or
blocked tubes can lead to this condition. ?     
Oligospermia (Low sperm count)  the sperm in the
ejaculate is not in a sufficient amount to bring
about conception.

?     Abnormal shape  healthy sperm looks like a
streamlined tadpole in shape. Sperm with abnormal
shape may face problems while penetrating the
eggs surface. ?     Poor motility  a healthy
sperm swims through the woman's reproductive
system with the help of its lashing tail. Sperm
having poor motility may swim clumsily or
sometimes not at all. Infertility in men due to

doesnt emerge through the penis and enters the
bladder) as well as immature ejaculation. ?     
Problems related to the testicles  due to some in
fection, injury or chemotherapy ?     Antibodies
  the sperm activity is hindered by the
antibodies made by mans immune system, like
lowering the sperms capacity to latch onto an
egg from his partner. ?     Certain disorders 
diabetes, multiple sclerosis as well as other
syndromes can lead to problems in erection
and ejaculation.

Hormonal problems causing infertility in men
A series of glands and hormones they release are
responsible for regulating the levels of male sex
hormones. Hormone production in the testicles
guided by the hypothalamus is influenced by the
pituitary gland in the brain The failure to
manufacture a good amount of the hormone
gonadotrophin is relatively an uncommon reason
for male infertility. Apart from the mentioned
above factors, there are many other medical,
environmental, health, lifestyle and other causes
which lead to infertility in men. Infertility
