REASONS FOR MALE INFERTILITY
- The most common factor in male infertility is one or a combination of sperm deficits
- Abnormal sperm (teratozoospermia)
- Low sperm count (oligozoospermia)
- Decsreased motility of sperm (asthenozoospermia)
- No sperm in ejaculate (due mainly to tubal deformities, called azoospermia)
- All sperm non viable or non motile (necrozoospermia)
- Inflammation of the seminal blood vessels can cause blockages which impedes the transport of semen into the ejaculatory duct (varicocele) and can be treated surgically.
- STI’s can also cause tubal occlusions in males, Chlamydia and Gonorrhea can cause scar tissue to form in ducts causing blockages.
- Chemotherapy and radiation treatment in the inguinal region can also damage the testis and cause infertility.
