Male infertility

Infertility is tied to male complications in about 40% of cases. Statistics show that in about 25% of infertility cases both partners play a role. Each may have a health condition that in combination makes it difficult to conceive. Thanks to recent significant advances, diagnostic tests have been successful in determining the cause of infertility and treatment options for many conditions.

Common causes of male infertility include hormonal problems (which can lead to sperm abnormalities), complications with reproductive organs, illness and infection.
