Male Infertility is the inability of a male to make a fertile female pregnant or conceive after a year of regular unprotected intercourse. Several factors can affect the ability of a male to make mature, healthy sperm that can be safely delivered into the female partners to fertilise an egg. The good news is most of the main causes of male infertility are treatable and where they are not, assisted reproductive techniques (ART) exist to help with conception.

Making mature healthy sperms that can be safely delivered into the female partner and successfully travel to meet the egg depends on many things. Some issues may stop the sperm cells from growing, some may make it difficult for the sperm to be delivered, whilst others may keep the sperm from reaching the egg. Any of these issues may lead to male infertility. However the main causes are: Sperm disorders (Immature sperm, Odd shaped sperm, Low sperm count etc); Hormones, Medications, Obstruction etc.

Treatment for male infertility is highly individualised, tailored to address the specific causes identified through a comprehensive assessment by the doctors. Diagnosis of male infertility can be hard. However problems are most often associated with sperm production or delivery.
