Infertility in men has risen
significantly in industrialized countries in recent decades. In Western Europe
today, every sixth couple is unintentionally childless. The reasons for this
lie just as often in men as in women. Male infertility is in most cases due to
low sperm quality or occlusion of the vas deferens. Learn more about male
infertility and how it can be treated.
Infertility
in men by quality of semen
One reason for male infertility may
be defective sperm production in the testicles. If the seminal fluid contains
too few spermatozoa, the existing spermatozoa are not mobile enough or do not
have certain characteristics, fertilization by natural means is unlikely.
Often, the observation of these symptoms is also referred to as
oligo-astheno-teratozoospermia syndrome (OAT syndrome) . Information about
sperm quality is provided by a medical examination of semen. From the
spermogram obtained from itcan be concluded on the seed quality. However, the
causes of low seed quality are not directly readable. For most causes further
investigations are necessary. The following causes may be the cause of the
problem: The Fertility Centre whistler can

Testicular
upset:
Problems with the quality of the male sperm can be innate. Nowadays, every boy
undergoes a thorough and early examination as part of the U-studies.
Unfortunately, this was not the case in the past, and until about a few decades
ago, about one to three percent of all newborn boys were born with an
undescended testicle. This means that the testis of a newborn boy did not
migrate into the scrotum during pregnancy and the first days, but remained
"suspended" in the inguinal canals. If not treated in time, it will
lead to a sustained disruption of semen production. Unfortunately, in the
inguinal canals there is not the temperature necessary for sperm production.
Only in the scrotum can you find the perfect conditions. The fertility clinic
bc is the best option available there.
Genetic
causes:
In very few cases, a poor sperm quality can also be attributed to a genetic
disposition. A rare genetic predisposition can be, for example, the Klinfelter
syndrome, in which the man has too much on an X chromosome and thus less forms
male hormones urgently needed for seed production. But other changes in genetic
material can have an impact on the fertility of the man.
