Male fertility problems often occur when the number or quality of sperm is not optimal, making it difficult to fertilize an egg. The causes may come from medical factors such as hormonal disorders, varicocele, infections, or genetic abnormalities, as well as lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol consumption, stress, and unhealthy diet. A thorough examination by a urologist or andrologist is essential to identify the exact cause and determine the right treatment.

When Should You See a Fertility Doctor?
Consulting a doctor is important if you and your partner are having difficulty conceiving. Recommended times to seek medical advice include:
- Under 35 years old: not pregnant after trying for 1 year.
- Ages 35–39: not pregnant after trying for 6 months.
- Age 40 and above: see a doctor immediately if pregnancy does not occur within 6 months or less.
Fertility declines with age. For example, a 25-year-old woman has a 25–30% chance of conceiving per menstrual cycle, but at 40, the chance drops to less than 5% per cycle.
Aside from age, men should also seek medical consultation if they have conditions or risk factors that affect fertility, such as:
- History of sperm abnormalities or low sperm quality
- Varicocele (enlarged veins in the testicles)
- Hormonal disorders
- Infections or diseases of the reproductive organs
- History of chronic illness or surgery involving reproductive organs
General practitioners or gynecologists often recommend couples to see a fertility specialist, urologist, or reproductive endocrinologist for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
