Infertility (Male)

Infertility is the inability for a couple to achieve conception after a year of unprotected intercourse. The timetable changes to 6 months if the woman is over the age of 35. Infertility is also defined as the failure to carry a pregnancy to term. At least 15% of North-American couples will experience some degree of infertility with all of its accompanying feelings and frustrations. Until recently, infertility was thought to be primarily a female issue, but modern science has pinpointed many problems that can interfere with a man’s ability to impregnate a woman. Some of the more common problems affecting men are:

- azoospermia - no sperm in the ejaculate
- oligospermia - low concentrations of sperm in the ejaculate
- asthenospermia - sperm are present but can't swim normally
- teratospermia - high proportion of abnormally shaped sperm
- retrograde ejaculation - the tube through which sperm normally travel is blocked and sperm may end up in the bladder.
