What Is Male Infertility?
Male infertility is a condition where a man has difficulty contributing to pregnancy because of issues with sperm production, sperm quality, or sperm delivery. In most cases, the condition can be diagnosed through a simple semen analysis.

Most Common Causes of Male Infertility
1. Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia)
This is one of the most common issues. Low sperm count can be caused by lifestyle, hormonal imbalance, or genetic reasons.
2. Poor Sperm Motility
Even if the count is normal, slow or weak-moving sperm make fertilisation difficult.
3. Abnormal Sperm Shape (Morphology Issues)
Misshapen sperm cannot swim effectively or attach to the egg.
4. Azoospermia
This is a complete absence of sperm in the semen. It has two types:
- Obstructive (blockage)
- Non-obstructive (production issue)
5. Varicocele
This is a swelling of the veins in the scrotum. It reduces sperm quality and is one of the most correctable causes of male infertility.
6. Hormonal Imbalance
Low testosterone or issues with the pituitary gland affect sperm production.
7. Lifestyle and Environmental Factors
Smoking, stress, alcohol, obesity, heat exposure, anabolic steroids, and long hours of sitting can all impact fertility.
8. Medical Conditions and Past Infections
Diabetes, thyroid disorders, mumps, STIs, and previous surgeries may play a role.
At MHR T Hospitals, we identify the exact cause using advanced diagnostics so the treatment becomes targeted and effective.
