Reasons for Infertilty Print E-mail


There are many reasons of infertility in women that can be placed in four different categories. Infertility is when a couple has been trying to have a baby for at least a year and for some reason they cannot conceive. When this happens it is classified as infertility. There are a lot of conditions that are infertility causes in women and men. Some of them are simple while others are a little more complicated.

For most men, the infertility causes are the result of having a low sperm count. This is caused by a lot of different reasons, some of which are medical. These would include a condition called variocele and having sperm that is shaped abnormally. The lifestyle that a man chooses can affect his sperm count as well. For instance, if a man smokes cigarettes, uses illegal drugs, or drinks excessively, they will have a lower sperm count than a man that doesn't. Even wearing tight pants and bathing in a hot bathtub can lower the sperm count. Of course, these are things that can be changed to help correct this problem. Medications and certain sickness can lead to having low sperm count temporarily as well and can also be corrected.
