One third of all infertility related cases are caused due to male factor infertility. And infertility is a female problem is just a myth. Ideally, during the initial testing and pre-screening phase both male and female fertility should be tested for. There could be several reasons for male infertility including, low sperm count, low sperm motility as well as abnormal sperm growth.
Watching the clock, considering your past.
- Irregularity of your menstrual cycles on a regular basis could indicate deeper problems such as PCOS which could cause infertility.
- Diagnosis of endometriosis.
- History of genetic disorders on either side of the family tree.
- Multiple miscarriages.
