Common Causes of Male Infertility

Male infertility can stem from a variety of factors that impact sperm production, maturation, or delivery. Understanding these causes is critical for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Below, we outline the most prevalent causes:

  3. SPERM PRODUCTION DEFECTS Sperm production defects are the most common cause of male infertility, accounting for approximately 65-80% of cases. These defects can be genetic, congenital, or acquired. Key examples include: Oligospermia: Low sperm count, often associated with hormonal imbalances or genetic factors. Azoospermia: Complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, resulting from blockages or testicular failure. Teratozoospermia: Abnormally shaped sperm, which can hinder fertilization potential.

  4. VARICOCELE — A REVERSIBLE CAUSE A varicocele is a dilated vein within the scrotum that increases scrotal temperature, impairing sperm production. Varicoceles are present in approximately 40% of men with infertility. Surgical repair can significantly improve semen parameters. DR. NEL’S INSIGHTS: “Varicoceles are one of the few reversible causes of male infertility. Early diagnosis and intervention can restore fertility in many cases.”

  5. HORMONAL DISORDERS HYPOGONADISM Reduced testosterone production, often caused by pituitary or hypothalamic dysfunction. HYPERPROLACTINEMIA Elevated prolactin levels that suppress testosterone production. Hormonal imbalances can disrupt the delicate HPG axis, impacting testosterone production and spermatogenesis. Common hormonal disorders include: THYROID DISORDERS Hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism can disrupt sperm production and motility.

  6. GENETIC AND CHROMOSOMAL ABNORMALITIES Genetic conditions can significantly impact sperm production and quality. Examples include: KLINEFELTER SYNDROME Y-CHROMOSOME MICRODELETIONS Causes hypogonadism and azoospermia. Associated with severe oligospermia or azoospermia. CFTR GENE MUTATIONS Linked to congenital absence of the vas deferens. DR. NEL’S INSIGHTS: “Genetic testing can provide critical insights for men with severe sperm abnormalities. Identifying specific mutations helps tailor treatment strategies effectively.”
