In many cases, some couples face difficulty achieving pregnancy even though they have had frequent intercourse without using contraception. About 1/3 of infertility cases are because of male reproductive issues. Consult Dr. Niren Rao, for infertility treatment in Delhi, ‘Male fertility typically depends on certain parameters like the quality and quantity of sperm produced. It will be difficult to have a child if the number of sperm released is low or the quality of the sperm is not that good.

Hormonal imbalance, obstructions preventing sperm movement, genetic abnormalities, chronic health issues, and lifestyle choices are some of the major factors that cause infertility in males.
