Today, a large percentage of couples face fertility problems. Doctors define infertility as the inability to conceive a child within at least a year, despite frequent, unprotected sexual intercourse.
Since it is more common to talk about female fertility, it must be said that male fertility also plays an important role. Therefore, it is crucial to pay special attention to men's health.

The essence of the male fertility
Male fertility is connected with the health of the male reproductive system. Many factors influence fertility and how successful conception attempts will be.
The main factors affecting male fertility and sperm quality are:
Sperm production - when an ejaculation contains at least 15 million sperm per milliliter, we are talking about healthy sperm. In case the quantity is less, it may prevent conception.
Sperm motility - sperm must move through a female cervix, uterus, and fallopian tubes to reach and fertilize an egg. Therefore, one of the main factors in male fertility is sperm movement.
Sperm morphology - normal sperm have oval heads and long tails. It is considered pathological if there is an alteration in the sperm during semen analysis.
In case of possible difficulty in conceiving, it is essential for the man, along with his female partner, to visit a reproductive health specialist. Usually, at the examination, the man is given a semen analysis, which examines the sperm and determines if there is a problem with male fertility.
Causes for male infertility
Many factors negatively affect male fertility and can decrease sperm production, and sperm motility and cause alterations in sperm morphology.
The main causes of male infertility are:
Stress - it is a common cause of many health problems in men, including infertility, as well as the cause of reduced sexual function.
Smoking - some studies show that men who smoke experience low sperm counts, so it is essential to reduce or completely stop smoking.
Alcohol - regular alcohol consumption can lead to reduced production of the male sex hormone known as testosterone, decreased sperm production, and impotence.
Recreational drugs - these are the cause of many health problems in men. They damage sperm and reduce its production.
Medicines - some antibiotics can affect male fertility and sperm quality. If you need to take an antibiotic, you should consult your doctor.
Medical causes - it includes varicocele, sexually transmitted infections (including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV), antibodies that attack sperm, ejaculation problems, undescended testicles, hormone imbalances, chromosome defects, problems with sexual intercourse, celiac disease, tumours, etc.
Environmental causes - it includes overheating testicles, radiation, industrial chemicals, heavy metal exposure, etc.

a lower-than-normal sperm count
a swelling, pain, or a lump in the testicle area
