Infertility in men

🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑🛑

🛑 The main sign of male infertility is the inability to conceive a child.

For your partner to be able to make you Pregnant the following must occur:

🛑 He must produce healthy sperm.

🛑 At least one of his testicles must be functioning correctly, and his body must produce testosterone and other hormones to trigger and maintain sperm production.

🛑 His sperms have to be carried into his semen. Once sperms are produced in the testicles, delicate tubes transport them until they mix with semen and are ejaculated out of the penis.

🛑 There needs to be enough sperm in his semen. If the number of sperm in his semen (sperm count) is low, it decreases the chances that one of his sperm will fertilize your egg.

❗When a man has low sperm count, he has fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen or fewer than 39 million per ejaculate. This can be checked in the hospital or by using a home test kit for sperm analysis.

🛑 His Sperm must be functional and able to move. If the movement or function of his sperm is abnormal, it may not be able to reach or penetrate your egg.
