Medical Condition

Male Infertility

Male infertility refers to a man's inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse. It is a common medical condition, affecting about one in seven couples attempting to conceive. In many cases, male infertility is due to problems with sperm production, function, or delivery, such as having too few sperm, sperm that don't move well, or blockages that prevent sperm from reaching the egg. It's important to understand that infertility is a shared issue, and diagnosis is the first step toward finding solutions.

Common Symptoms

  • Inability to achieve pregnancy with a partner after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse.
  • Problems with sexual function, such as difficulty with ejaculation, reduced sex drive, or erectile dysfunction.
