Infertility in men

Semen and sperm

The most common cause of infertility in men is poor-quality semen, the fluid containing sperm that's ejaculated during sex.
Possible reasons for abnormal semen include:
a lack of sperm – you may have a very low sperm count or no sperm at all
sperm that aren't moving properly – this will make it harder for sperm to swim to the egg
abnormal sperm – sperm can sometimes be an abnormal shape, making it harder for them to move and fertilise an egg
Many cases of abnormal semen are unexplained.





There's a link between increased temperature of the scrotum and reduced semen quality, but it's uncertain whether wearing loose-fitting underwear improves fertility. 
Testicles
The testicles produce and store sperm. If they're damaged, it can seriously affect the quality of your semen.
This can happen as a result of:

An infection of your testicles
Testicular cancer 
Testicular surgery
A problem with your testicles you were born with (a congenital defect)
When one or both testicles hasn't descended into the scrotum, the loose sac of skin that contains your testicles (undescended testicles)
Injury to your testicles
Sterilisation
Some men choose to have a vasectomy if they don't want children or any more children.
