At ZIVA Fertility Center, Hyderabad, our fertility and andrology experts provide comprehensive evaluation and advanced treatments to help men achieve parenthood.
What Is Male Infertility?
Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to contribute to pregnancy due to issues with sperm production, function, or delivery. It can occur alone or alongside female fertility factors.
Common Causes of Male Infertility
1. Sperm Production Problems
- Low sperm count (oligospermia)
- Poor sperm motility (asthenospermia)
- Abnormal sperm shape (teratospermia)
2. Varicocele
Enlarged veins in the scrotum can increase testicular temperature, reducing sperm quality and testosterone levels.
3. Hormonal Imbalances
Low testosterone or abnormal FSH/LH levels can affect sperm production.
4. Lifestyle and Environmental Factors
- Smoking and alcohol consumption
- Obesity
- Stress
- Heat exposure (tight clothing, laptops)
- Environmental toxins
5. Medical and Genetic Conditions
- Infections
- Past surgeries or trauma
- Genetic abnormalities
- Erectile or ejaculation disorders
Tests for Male Infertility
