Infertility: Infertility in Men

In men, infertility can be caused by low or abnormal sperm production or function, blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm, illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, and lifestyle choices.

 

Male infertility, accounting for up to 30% of total infertility cases (50% when combined with female infertility), is often linked to a low sperm count. In half the time, the cause remains unknown.

In the past 45 years, median sperm counts have dropped by 50% (from 101 mill/ml in 1973 to 49 mill/ml in 2018), and the percentage of decline per year doubled, increasing from 1.16% post-1972 to 2.64% post-2000 (1). Although it is estimated that worldwide 1 in 10 men are infertile (2), there's no approved treatment yet for male infertility.
