Male infertility may be defined as a man's incapacity to impregnate his fertile female partner. It is of 2 types: primary and secondary. If the man has never been able to impregnate his female partner, it is a case of primary infertility. In case of secondary infertility, the man had made his partner pregnant previously but at present he fails to do so. Before going in to the depths of male infertility, you must first know how conception takes place. During intercourse, a male ejaculates semen containing millions of sperms, a male gamete. The ejaculated sperms swim towards the ovum or egg released by the woman's ovaries and only one out of the millions can fuse with the ovum, thereby fertilizing it. The fertilization takes place in the fallopian tube and it is the fertilization that makes a woman pregnant. The longevity of a sperm is 24 hours and that of ovum is 12 hours. Therefore for conceiving the fertilization should take place within 12 hours of ovulation or release of ovum.
Male infertility causes:
The primary cause of male infertility is low sperm count. Low sperm count is triggered by factors like variocele or varicose vein in the testicular veins, duct blockage, hormonal imbalance, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, smoking, stress, excessive exposure to saunas or hot baths, excessive exposure to toxic environment and heavy metals, wearing of tight-fitting briefs, testicular issues like un-descended testes or twisted testis, infections like Chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, mumps and tuberculosis, medications like anti-hypertensive drugs, anabolic steroids, corticosteroids, antidepressants, cancer medications etc. The second important cause of male infertility is ejaculation and erection related issues like weak erections, short-spanned erections or retrograde ejaculation. These issues crop up due to factors like depression and anxiety, sexual abstinence, insufficient blood flow to the male sex organ, ailments like diabetes, neurological disorders, hormonal imbalance etc.
