Because of infertility so man feels sad and helpless  If you are interested in starting a family, it is important that you recognize the signs of male infertility as soon as they show up. Although many people believe that women are to blame most of the times when it comes to infertility in the couple, the fact is that in 30% of the cases, the man is to blame and in 20% of the cases, both the man and the woman are to blame. Just like in women, causes of infertility in men are either emotional or caused by structural abnormalities. One of the signs of male infertility is low or poor sperm count. This is called seminal abnormalities of the sperm and it means the sperm cannot reach the eggs. Women are made in such a way that their vagina is very hostile to sperms so that only a few of them, out of the millions deposited in the vagina after ejaculation, can get the chance to fertilize the egg. Low sperm count, or oligospermia, means the probability of fertilization is reduced.

Common Reasons for Male Infertility

Husband and wife have to face infertilityThere are many reasons for male infertility that men should know about. Having this knowledge is important because you will be able to avoid the causes and you will be able to seek treatment before it is too late. One in eight couples has infertility issues. It is a common belief that women contribute most to these cases, but male infertility is the cause of the infertility in half the cases. Sperm disorder is the major reasons for male infertility. When a man ejaculates during intercourse, millions of sperms are released into the vagina. However, only a few hundred of these sperms will get close to the ovaries. The success of a sperm in fertilizing the egg is determined by:

•    The shape of the sperm: Some men have sperm that have a shape that is not ideal for fertilization.

•    The sperm count: This is the total number of sperms in the sample and if this number is low, the chances of a sperm reaching the egg is also low.

•    The concentration of the sperm: This is the number of sperms in a milliliter of semen. If this number is low, fertilization may not happen because it is the sperms, and not the semen, that find their way towards the egg.

•    Asthenospermia: This is a condition where the sperm does not develop the necessary speed, leading to the death of the sperm before they can fertilize the egg. In some extreme cases of asthenospermia, the sperm is immobile and this is one of the common reasons for male infertility.

•    The volume of the semen: If this is low, the number of sperms that find their way to the eggs is drastically reduced.

•    The sperm mobility: Some men have sperm that are not able to move as they should towards the egg and this reduces the chances of fertilizing the egg.

•    Forward progression of the sperm: The quality of movement of the sperm in some men is weak for one reason or the other.
