Male infertility can have multiple causes. At Andrología Málaga, we identify the most common factors to provide the most appropriate treatment:

  • Sperm production problems: low sperm count, poor motility, or poor sperm quality.

  • Hormonal disorders: imbalances in hormones that regulate fertility, such as testosterone.

  • Obstructions in the reproductive tract: blockages in the ducts that transport semen, preventing sperm from being released.

  • Infections: infections in the reproductive system that can affect sperm quality.

  • Genetic factors: hereditary alterations that may influence sperm production or function.

  • Lifestyle factors: stress, excessive alcohol consumption, smoking, or exposure to toxins.

  • Varicocele: enlargement of the veins in the testicle, which can affect sperm production.

Identifying the correct cause is essential to improve treatment success and increase the chances of conceiving.
