Causes of Male Fertility

Causes of Male Fertility

Male infertility is when a man cannot begin a pregnancy with his female partner. There are 4 main causes for main infertility.

They are:

  • Overweight or obesity: Studies show that, obese men were 42 percent more likely to have a low sperm count than their normal-weight peers and 81 percent more likely to produce no sperm.
  • Excess use of tobacco, marijuana or alcohol.
  • Genetic diseases/disorders: Eg: Klinefelter’s syndrome (this affects the testicular growth and production of testosterone), microdeletion (results in delayed motor and speech skills thus leading to weak muscle tone) and more.
  • Certain medical conditions: These include diabetes, some specific autoimmune disorders, infections, cystic fibrosis. However, there are certain exceptions and individual differences do exist.

    In understanding the causes of male fertility issues, it becomes clear that a multifaceted approach to reproductive health is crucial. Lifestyle factors, genetics, and environmental influences all play significant roles. To optimize male fertility, consider incorporating healthy habits, such as regular exercise for male fertility, as part of a holistic approach to overall well-being and reproductive health.
