There are several potential causes of male factor infertility, including:
Sperm Production Problems: Issues such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape can hinder fertilization. Hormonal Imbalances: Abnormal levels of hormones like testosterone can affect sperm production and function. Genetic Conditions: Disorders like Klinefelter syndrome or Y chromosome microdeletions can impact fertility. Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, and obesity can negatively influence sperm health. Environmental Exposures: Exposure to toxins, chemicals, and radiation can also affect sperm quality.
