Azoospermia
No measurable sperm is found in the semen. It may be present from birth or develop later in life, and its cause can lie in sperm production or in a blockage along the way.
Male Infertility
Male fertility can be influenced by hormonal balance, infections and lifestyle habits such as smoking and alcohol. We offer personalised Ayurvedic and lifestyle guidance to support your reproductive wellness.
What Is Male Infertility?
Male infertility means a man has difficulty helping his partner conceive. It happens when there are problems with the sperm, such as a low count, poor movement or an abnormal shape, or with how sperm are carried in the semen. Age, lifestyle and certain medical conditions can contribute. Seeking advice early and exploring your options can help couples through the challenge of starting a family.
Male Infertility Types
Oligospermia
A lower than normal sperm count. A healthy sample generally has a good concentration of sperm per millilitre, and counts well below that are described as oligospermia.
Sexual Function Concerns
Difficulties such as premature ejaculation or erectile dysfunction can make conception harder, and often have both physical and emotional causes.
Common Causes of Male Infertility
Defective sperm production
Sperm develop best when the scrotum is slightly cooler than the rest of the body. Disturbances in this balance or in hormones can affect production.
Congenital factors
Conditions present from birth, such as undescended testes, can affect sperm development.
Genetic conditions
Some chromosomal or inherited conditions can reduce sperm movement or production.
Structural problems
Blockages or abnormalities in the reproductive tract can prevent sperm from reaching the semen.
Heat factors
Raised temperature in the scrotum, for example from varicocele, can interfere with sperm production.
Infections
Long-lasting bacterial or other infections of the reproductive tract can harm sperm quality.
Lifestyle and other factors
Smoking, heavy alcohol use, poor nutrition, obesity, stress, certain medicines, radiation and exposure to toxins can all play a part.
Common Symptoms of Male Infertility
Many men have no obvious symptoms, but the following signs are worth discussing with a doctor.
Changes in sexual function
Difficulty with erections, problems with ejaculation or reduced desire.
Changes in testicle size
Noticeable changes in the size or feel of the testicles.
Pain while urinating
Discomfort that may point to an underlying problem.
Swollen scrotal veins
A varicocele can affect sperm production.
Undescended testicles
One or both testicles not having moved into the scrotum.
