Symptoms like changing in sexual desire, swelling of testicles, erectile dysfunction, or problems with ejaculation make you realize something is not going good with your sexual potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are struggling to conceive a\nbaby, you are not alone. In the US, nearly 10 to 15% of couples are facing some\nkind of infertility issues. The condition is defined as the inability to\nconceive despite having frequent and unprotected intercourse for more than a\nyear. Infertility may either result from conditions either with you or your\npartner. In some cases, a combination of factors is responsible for causing\ninfertility. To conceive a baby, a man\u2019s sperm play a vital role from getting\ndelivered to the female reproductive tract to combining to a woman\u2019s egg. The\nmost common problem that leads to infertility in men is how well the testicles work.\nThere may be other factors as well that can contribute to fertility problems in\nmales; these include hormonal imbalances, blockages in the male reproductive\norgans. According to studies, about half of the cases of male infertility are\nunidentified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Reasons\nBehind Male Infertility<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Well, a man with infertility may\nexperience signs of hormonal problems which include sexual dysfunction and hair\ngrowth. Infertility in males can be caused by problems associated with sperm\nproduction, sperm count, shape and movement of the sperm. A complete lack of\nsperm may make a man infertile. Blockage of sperm movement due to hormonal\nfluctuations or other medical condition can cause a lack of sperm. There are\nsome cases of infertility, where there is no enough sperm production, means men\nproduce less sperm than normal. According to research studies, about 40% of\ncases are due to a medical condition called varicocele, the presence of an enlarged\nvein in the testicles. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Making healthy sperm that can travel\nto women\u2019s reproductive tract depends on many things. Any internal issue\/issues\ncan prevent sperm from undergoing the growth process. These issues can prevent\nfertilization. Let\u2019s have a brief look at the common causes of male\ninfertility:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li><strong>Sperm disorders-<\/strong> The most commonly reported problem of male\ninfertility is sperm growth. In some cases, sperm may not grow completely, the\nshape is odd, they do not move the right way, or there may be low sperm count. Sperm\ndisorders can be an issue related to your birth problem. Sometimes lifestyle\nhabits can give rise to low sperm count. These may specifically include\nsmoking, alcohol consumption, and using certain medicinal products can lower your\nsperm counts. A long term sickness, childhood infection or hormonal imbalance s\ncan lead to male infertility. <\/li><li><strong>Varicoceles or enlarged veins<\/strong>&#8211; Another common cause of infertility\nin males is the swollen veins in the scrotum also called varicoceles. The\ncondition affects sperm growth by interfering with the blood supply towards the\nmale reproductive organ. An enlarged vein in the scrotum causes the backflow of\nblood from your belly to the scrotum. This makes the testicles too warm to\nproduce sperm resulting in low sperm counts. <\/li><li><strong>Obesity- <\/strong>Men with Body mass index (BMI)above 30 can have an impact on\nsperm quantity and quality. It is believed that fat deposition affects the\nproduction of male\u2019s hormones that plays a key role in reproductive activity. One\nof the major hormones is testosterone, which is essential for the production of\nsemen in male\u2019s testicles. The entire hormonal imbalance caused by fat deposit overload\ncan cause significant changes in sperm development. <\/li><li><strong>Use of certain medications<\/strong>&#8211; Consumption of certain medication\ncan affect the sperm production, and function of testicles. These medicines are\noften using to treat medical conditions such as arthritis, high blood pressure,\ndepression, cancer, digestive problems, and infections. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The bottom\nline<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several conditions affect how testicles\nmake and store sperm and ejaculation by the penis. One of the common causes\nthat lead to male infertility is how well the testicles work. Hormonal\nimbalances and lifestyle changes are other common factors for male infertility.\nLuckily, there are effective treatments that can help you get rid of the\nconditions and improve your chances of getting pregnant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reliablerxpharmacy.com\/blog\/causes-infertility-men\/\">Also\nRead: Causes Infertility in Men<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to know if you are infertile male?
