7. Male Factor
Sometimes, women are not the ones to be blamed when they cannot get pregnant. At times, infertility can also affect males. In fact, Hopkins Medicine discovered that around 30% of infertility cases were related to men. Because of this, it is vital that both men and women get check-ups.
Male-related problems that affect infertility stem from varying factors. Most of the time, male infertility has been associated with having a low sperm count or sperm counts that are quite different or abnormal in movement or shape. To determine what is causing infertility a semen analysis should be done to determine the health of the semen and the sperm.
Aside from having a low sperm count and the like, there are medical conditions that could also affect a man’s infertility. These include having trauma to the body, leading an unhealthy lifestyle by smoking, drinking, or even failing to exercise regularly, and having diabetes.
