What exactly is Male Infertility?

Male infertility happens when there is a reduction in the ability of the male reproductive system and sperm to fertilize an egg and create an embryo. The amount and quality of a man’s sperm are the main factors that determine his fertility. Infertility is typically diagnosed when a couple is unable to conceive, even after a year or more of regular, unprotected intercourse.

Infertility in men can occasionally be the only issue preventing a couple from becoming pregnant, but there are other instances where a mix of female and male complications contribute to infertility.

Male fertility is not a topic that is frequently discussed in our society, but there is nothing to be embarrassed of, so feel free to discuss it with us to ensure a stress-free life.

Male infertility is responsible for around 50% of these cases, indicating that male factors contribute significantly to the overall infertility rate in the country​
