Infertility can be an emotionally taxing journey for couples, but what's often overlooked is how commonly it affects men. In fact, 1 in 12 men struggle with infertility. It’s time we normalize this conversation and bring awareness to an issue that too many suffer from in silence.
What Is Male Infertility?
Male infertility refers to the inability to conceive after 6–12 months of trying without birth control. Many assume infertility is solely a female issue, but that’s far from the truth. Male infertility contributes to 30–50% of all infertility cases.
What Causes Male Infertility?
There are several potential causes, and many are treatable:
Low sperm count or poor sperm motility
Hormone imbalances
Lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol use, obesity
Prior injuries or infections
Environmental exposure: heat, radiation, or toxins
Understanding the root cause is the first step toward an effective solution.
The Good News: It’s Often Treatable
You’re not out of options. Most causes of male infertility are manageable, and in many cases, reversible. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment options may include:
Lifestyle changes
Hormone therapy
Surgery for varicoceles
Natural pregnancy is possible for many
