New Delhi: Infertility is an issue which people hesitate to discuss openly even today. Especially male infertility i.e. male impotence is not discussed openly, due to which many people lack necessary and accurate information related to it and there is a delay in getting the right treatment in time.

Cases of male infertility are increasing rapidly in India. Almost 1 out of every 6 couples is suffering from infertility and among them too, male infertility is more. In such a situation, there is a need to have accurate information about the signs, symptoms and diagnosis of male infertility. In such a situation, today in this article we will tell you about the reasons for increasing male infertility-

Low sperm count

It is possible that men may have a low sperm count. A typical sperm sample contains millions of sperms, but a low number of sperms increases male infertility. The quality of sperm also matters a lot in conceiving .

Problems in the reproductive system

Male infertility can also be caused by common problems in the male reproductive system such as varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum).

Infection

Viral or bacterial infections can also cause a drop in sperm quality. These infections include infections of the epididymis, sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea, and HIV.

environment

Some factors present in the environment also reduce sperm production and its quality. Heat, industrial toxins, chemicals, heavy metal exposure such as lead, X-rays or radiation, frequent use of saunas or hot tubs are some of the factors that can lead to a decline in sperm count and quality.

Ejaculation disorder

Conditions such as retrograde ejaculation, in which the semen goes into the bladder instead of coming out of the penis, or premature ejaculation, also known as premature ejaculation, can make the sperm unable to reach the egg, leading to male infertility.
