Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It is commonly linked to problems with sperm production, sperm quality, sperm delivery, or hormonal imbalances. Male factors contribute to nearly 40–50% of infertility cases worldwide.
Advancements in diagnostic techniques and assisted reproductive technologies have made male infertility highly treatable in many cases. VivaVel Health assists international patients in accessing advanced male infertility evaluation and treatment in India, coordinated with leading urologists, andrologists, and fertility specialists.
In many cases, male infertility presents no apparent symptoms. When present, symptoms may include:
Difficulty conceiving a child
Low sperm count or poor sperm motility
Erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction
Pain, swelling, or lumps in the testicular area
Reduced facial or body hair (hormonal imbalance)
Low libido
History of recurrent genital infections
Male infertility can result from a variety of medical, genetic, and lifestyle factors, including:
Sperm Production Issues
Low sperm count (oligospermia)
No sperm production (azoospermia)
Poor sperm motility or abnormal shape
Hormonal Disorders
Low testosterone
Pituitary or thyroid dysfunction
Structural or Anatomical Problems
