The incidence of male infertility is increasing rapidly because of the modern stressful lifestyle. It is a common but incorrect belief that infertility is a woman’s problem.
Finding out that male partner is infertile is often a shocking and upsetting experience. So, men are often unprepared when they’re told there is a complication with their sperm.
As a male, your fertility generally depends on the quantity and quality of your sperm. If the number of sperm you ejaculate is low, or if the sperm are of a poor quality, it will be difficult, and in some cases impossible, to get pregnant.
Therefore, the man contributes to infertility in around half of all cases.
Treatment cares includes:
- Difficulty in Ejaculation
- Difficulty in Maintaining an Erection (Erectile Dysfunction)
- Reduced Sexual Desire
- Pain or Swelling in the Testicle Area
- Decreased Facial and Body Hair
- Decrease Hoarseness of Voice
- Abnormal Breast Growth/Gynecomastia
