Do only women suffer from infertility?
Infertility is not just an issue for woman. Problems with the male account for one-third of infertility cases, according to the National Institutes of Health. Male infertility is defined as a man’s inability to get a woman pregnant after one year of trying without using birth control, according to NIH.
According to NIH, some types and/or possible causes of male infertility are:
- Physical problems with the testicles
- Blockages in the ducts that carry sperm
- Hormone problems
- A history of high fevers or mumps
- Genetic disorders
- Lifestyle or environmental factors
