Male infertility can result from various factors, including:
Hormonal imbalances – Issues with hormones such as testosterone, luteinizing hormone (LH), and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) can impact sperm production. Genetic factors – Conditions like Klinefelter syndrome and Y chromosome microdeletions can impair sperm production. Varicocele – Enlarged veins in the scrotum can increase temperature and affect sperm quality. Infections – Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and other infections can cause inflammation and blockages in the male reproductive tract. Lifestyle factors – Smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, and obesity can negatively impact fertility.
