What are the causes of male infertility?
Male infertility can stem from a variety of causes, ranging from hormonal imbalances to genetic factors and lifestyle choices. Hormonal imbalances, such as abnormal testosterone levels or thyroid disorders, can disrupt sperm production and fertility.
Similarly, genetic factors such as chromosomal abnormalities or mutations can affect sperm quality and fertility potential. Lifestyle choices, including diet, exercise, smoking, and alcohol consumption, can also impact male fertility. Poor nutrition, excessive alcohol intake, and smoking or vaping can all contribute to decreased sperm quality and fertility (but as sperm is renewed every 60-90 days, you can make significant changes by adapting your diet and lifestyle).
We support our male patients through our in-clinic sperm tests performed by our embryologists, or a home-to-lab test as many patients prefer. We work with Mojo - UK’s leading at-home sperm care provider, the AI-powered, clinician-validated home-to-lab sperm test, for those patients who prefer a home-to-lab test. By doing a sperm test early into your conception journey, you’ll be able to identify and address the underlying reason as to why you’re struggling to conceive, then take proactive steps towards improving your health or choosing the right treatment plan to increase your chances of conception.
