Did you know that male infertility accounts for nearly 40-50% of all infertility cases worldwide? It’s a challenge faced by millions, yet often overlooked. Adding to this concern, studies reveal that sperm counts have dropped by more than 50% over the past 40 years, making advanced fertility care more crucial than ever.

Male infertility can stem from a variety of factors, often impacting the quality or function of sperm. Understanding these causes is the first step toward finding the right treatment. Here are the most common contributors to male infertility:
Low Sperm Count: When sperm levels fall below 15 million per milliliter, the chances of successful fertilization decrease significantly. This is one of the most common causes of male infertility.
Poor Sperm Motility: Sperm that cannot swim efficiently may struggle to reach and fertilize the egg, hindering conception.
Abnormal Morphology: Irregularly shaped sperm often lack the ability to penetrate and fertilize an egg, reducing the likelihood of successful conception.
Obstructive Causes: Blockages in the reproductive tract, such as those caused by prior vasectomies or infections, prevent sperm from being released properly.
Hormonal Imbalances: Low testosterone or other hormonal issues can disrupt sperm production and overall reproductive health.
Lifestyle Factors: Factors like chronic stress, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, obesity, and exposure to environmental toxins can all negatively impact sperm quality and fertility.
At Eva Fertility Clinic, we specialize in diagnosing and treating these underlying causes. With personalized care and advanced techniques, we help restore fertility and open the door to parenthood.
Infertility can be an emotional journey, but identifying the cause early significantly improves your chances of successful treatment. Men should consider checking for infertility if they experience:
Difficulty Conceiving: If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for more than 12 months without success (or 6 months if your partner is over 35).
Abnormal Semen Analysis: Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology identified in prior tests.
Previous Medical Conditions: A history of testicular injuries, surgeries, infections (like mumps), or chemotherapy.
Erectile or Ejaculatory Issues: Difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, or problems with ejaculation.
Hormonal Imbalances: Symptoms like low libido, reduced muscle mass, or fatigue could indicate low testosterone levels.
Varicoceles: Enlarged veins in the scrotum, which can impair sperm quality.
Lifestyle Factors: Prolonged exposure to toxins, smoking, heavy alcohol use, or obesity that may impact fertility.
Seeking help sooner rather than later can open doors to advanced diagnostic tools and tailored treatments, ensuring the best possible outcome.
When it comes to fertility, time plays a critical role in improving outcomes. Seeking a timely diagnosis and starting treatment early can significantly increase the chances of overcoming male infertility. Early intervention allows fertility specialists to identify and address underlying issues, such as low sperm count or hormonal imbalances, before they worsen or lead to more complex challenges.
Beyond the physical benefits, addressing fertility challenges early can have a profound positive impact on emotional well-being. Struggling with infertility often leads to stress, anxiety, and feelings of helplessness. Taking proactive steps can alleviate these psychological burdens, giving you clarity and control over your fertility journey.
The best treatment for male infertility depends on the underlying cause. Options include:
Subfertility in males refers to a reduced ability to conceive naturally, but it doesn’t mean complete infertility. It often involves factors like:
Unlike infertility, subfertility means conception is still possible, though it may take longer or require medical assistance. With the right treatment, many men with subfertility achieve successful outcomes.
A male infertility specialist is typically called an andrologist, a doctor who focuses on male reproductive health and fertility issues. Urologists specializing in fertility and endocrinologists addressing hormonal imbalances also play key roles. At Eva Fertility Clinic, our team includes experienced andrologists and specialists to provide comprehensive care.
Certain drinks are known to boost sperm health due to their high nutrient content:
Staying hydrated with plenty of water is also essential for overall sperm health.
Yes, conception is possible with 2% sperm morphology, though it may require medical assistance. Advanced reproductive techniques like ICSI can overcome severe abnormalities by selecting the healthiest sperm for fertilization. While natural conception may be challenging, many men with low morphology successfully achieve pregnancy with tailored treatments and expert care.
