Common causes of fertility problems in men (1315 hits)
About 10 percent of reproductive-age couples in the United States will have difficulty getting pregnant. About 30 percent of cases are due to fertility problems in the man, 30 percent to fertility problems in the woman, and the rest to unexplained causes or multiple factors involving both partners. If you've had regular, unprotected s*x for more than a year (or six months if you're over 35) without conceiving, see your doctor. The National Infertility Association says at least half of those who have an infertility evaluation and treatment will be able to have a successful pregnancy. A reproductive urologist can identify male fertility issues, recommend treatment options, and help couples decide which options to pursue.
