What is Male Infertility?

Male infertility, also called subfertility, is the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of regular unprotected intercourse. Causes can be physical, genetic, hormonal, or environmental, with low sperm count being the most common.

Common Causes Include:

• Congenital or acquired urogenital anomalies
• Urogenital tract infections
• Varicocele or increased scrotal temperature
• Hormonal or endocrine disorders
• Genetic or immunological factors
• Past injuries, surgeries, or illnesses

In some cases, no clear factor is identified, often due to lifestyle or environmental influences.
