Contributing Factors for Men Infertility    

For men, being impotent or infertile can be the worst thing to happen in their life.  Although this situation in a man’s life can now be treated, it is still necessary for us to take a look at what are the causes of male infertility and how do we avoid them.  Hereunder are some of its causes.

1.  Blocking of Sperm Passages   The testicles from where our sperm comes from have passageways where our sperm passes through when we ejaculate inside a woman’s womb. These passageways should be free of any impediments for our sperm to pass through.  Otherwise, our sperm cells may not be able to pass through for delivery to the woman’s vagina for natural fertilization through our ejaculation. Impediments that block sperm passage cause infertility. A concrete example of this is when a male person no longer wishes to have children and he submits himself for vasectomy where his sperm passageways are blocked through surgery.  This is of course entirely different from an infertile person who wishes to have children but cannot do so because the passageways of his sperm cells are blocked due to physical abnormality, infection or even an injury.

2. Erectile Dysfunction: Another cause of infertility is the inability of a male person to have an erection and maintaining it to sustain penetration of a woman’s vagina until delivery time or when he reaches ejaculation where his sperm cells are sent out from his sexual organs to the deep insides of a woman’s vagina for fertilization. This inability of a male person to maintain an erection is a sexual disease known as ED or Erectile Dysfunction.  There are many causes of ED.  It can be due to old age or diseases such as diabetes or hypertension and even worries like financial debts , although on a temporary basis.

3.  Infections:   childhood infections like mumps and other forms of infectious diseases can cause infertility in men.  

4.  Zero Sperm Production:  There are men who cannot produce sperm cells. This condition known as Azoospermia is caused by temperature changes.  Men who are exposed to abrupt severe temperature changes like radiation are in danger of acquiring this disease.  Sperm cells are sensitive to temperature changes especially radiation.  Thus, men working in conditions such as in radar facilities should be wary about this since they are susceptible to this hazard.

5.  Genetic and Hormonal Abnormalities:   Genetic and hormonal disorders can also be the cause of unhealthy sperms.  Disorders in the pituitary and adrenal gland are examples that can negatively impact in the production of normal and healthy sperms 

6.  Other Conditions:   Male infertility can of course be caused by some other conditions.  But of main concern would be in relation to heat exposure for long periods of time. Since you already know that sperm cells can easily be destroyed by high body temperature, try to find medical cure immediately once you have an infection.  Also, avoid constantly visiting saunas for hot baths and hot body massage because these might affect the health of your sperm cells. Nowadays it would be easy to determine the quality of your sperm cells to know if you are fertile or infertile.  Semen test kits are available from many sites in the internet.  You can also join forums regarding male fertility where you can gain insights as to where to buy these kits and likewise tips as to the best herbal semen enhancing supplements available.
