Common Causes of Infertility in Men
Low Sperm count
If a man’s semen does not contain a good amount of sperms or if the woman is not able to fertilize the egg due to lack of sperm , it is known as low sperm count. This in short means having less than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen. For conceiving a baby it is must to get sufficient sperms to meet the requirement that is needed for it.
Producing abnormal sperms
The quality of your sperm should be really good if you want it to meet the egg. Producing abnormal sperms is also responsible for not letting the woman conceive because they are hard to move and also have an improper shape.
Testicular problems
Testicles are the most sensitive part of a man that contains the sperms and protect the cells from all the infections. Having an injury to it can result in severe consequences and can also has a negative impact on the quality of your sperms. Avoid wearing tight underwears and do not sit for too long.
Ejaculation problems
Proper ejaculation is important for a healthy sex and sperm release. There are two three types of this problem one is premature ejaculation in this, the ejaculation occurs too early, retrograde ejaculation, where semen is ejaculated into the bladder and third is where no ejaculation happens. So, you must contact a doctor in case this problem continues as it is not a sign of having normal fertility.
Lifestyle effects
A healthy lifestyle also plays a major role in improving your fertility. Habits that can cause infertility are consumption of excessive alcohol and drugs like cocaine and marijuana, steroids, an unhealthy diet, obesity and unsafe sex leading to sexually transmitted infections. You must avoid all these things if you plan to have a baby because this can really stand as big hurdles in between.
