Male Infertility: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatments

Male infertility is a common cause of difficulty conceiving and can affect many couples. At Andrología Málaga, we have specialists who conduct a comprehensive evaluation to identify the causes of male infertility.

What is Male Infertility?

Male infertility is the inability to conceive a child after one year or more of unprotected sexual intercourse. In Málaga, many couples face this issue, which accounts for approximately 50% of infertility cases.

The causes of male infertility can be diverse, including sperm production problems, hormonal imbalances, infections, or genetic factors. Therefore, a comprehensive diagnosis is essential to identify the underlying cause and provide the most appropriate treatment.

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.
