Male infertility and sexual disorders refer to conditions affecting the male reproductive system that can make it difficult to conceive a child. In many cases, despite regular unprotected intercourse, a couple may face challenges in achieving pregnancy due to underlying issues in the male partner. These conditions are more common than many realise and can often be diagnosed and treated with the right medical support.

One of the most common causes of male infertility is difficulty in producing healthy, well-shaped, or mature sperm. This may result from genetic conditions, hormonal imbalances, immune system disorders, or inflammation. Lifestyle factors such as excessive use of caffeine, anabolic steroids, or certain medications can also impact sperm health. In some cases, structural issues with the penis or problems with ejaculation can contribute to infertility.

Men with a history of hernia repair, genital infections and injured testicles are usually at higher risk of having the disorder.
