How Can Male Partners Contribute to Fertility Issues?
Male fertility issues are responsible for about 40-50% of infertility cases. Common causes include:
Sperm disorders: Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape. Medical conditions: Varicocele, infections, hormonal imbalances, and genetic disorders. Lifestyle factors: Smoking, alcohol use, illicit drugs, and exposure to environmental toxins. Age: Male fertility also declines with age, though not as precipitously as in women.
