Overview of Male Infertility

The article discusses the various symptoms, causes, diagnostics methods, treatments, and locations associated with male infertility. It starts off by pointing out that common issues affecting male fertility are usually detected through physical examination or abnormalities in the sperm's count, mobility, or shape.

Causes of Male Infertility:

1. Low Sperm Count: A reduced sperm count can significantly impact fertility, leading to difficulty conceiving.

2. Reduced Sperm Mobility: The inability for sperm to move efficiently reduces their chances of reaching and fertilizing an egg.

3. Abnormal Sperm Shape: Non-standard or defective sperm morphology affects the sperm's ability to penetrate and fertilize eggs.

Diagnosing Male Infertility:

A comprehensive physical examination, alongside a semen analysis that evaluates parameters like volume, pH levels, count, motility, and morphology of sperm, can identify issues related to male infertility. A fertility health screening is also recommed for individuals struggling with conception or wanting to understand their fertility status.
