MAIN CAUSES OF MALE INFERTILITY

The leading cause of infertility in men is the insufficiency or absence of sperm, which is the male reproductive system cell. In order for pregnancy and fertilization to occur naturally, the genetic structures in the male and female reproductive systems must combine successfully without encountering any obstacles. Otherwise, infertility develops.

What conditions cause infertility?

Many different disorders that may occur in the male reproductive system prevent sperm production or do not allow the produced sperm to enter the semen. At the beginning of these reasons are infections after puberty. For example, mumps infection can have a negative effect on sperm-producing cells in the testicles. Some infections that cause blockages in the ducts can also prevent the sperm from leaving the semen, which can disrupt the structure, number and movements of the sperm.

If the testicles cannot descend into the scrotum and are stuck in one place, ‘undescended testis’ discomfort occurs. In this case, due to body temperature, sperm production decreases considerably. Because the temperature in the testicle area should be 34 degrees for efficiency and sufficient sperm production. Since the testicles remaining in the groin are at an average temperature of 37 degrees, healthy sperm production cannot occur. Cigarette and alcohol addiction, radiation, air pollution, working in hot environments and severe varicocele can also cause the temperature increase in this region.
