What Is Infertility and What Causes It?
Nearly 1 in 7 couples is infertile, meaning that they could not conceive a child despite having unprotected sexual intercourse for 12 months or longer. Male infertility occurs when a man is not able to conceive a child because of low sperm production, blockages in the reproductive system, abnormal sperm function, or another reason. The male factor is fully or partially responsible about 30-50% of the time. However, several other factors, like lifestyle choices, chronic illnesses, injuries, or other health problems, can contribute to male infertility. This can be frustrating, stressful, and emotionally draining, but there are several optimistic treatments to address this problem.
