Problems With Male Infertility

By: Zinn Jeremiah

Many people assume that having children is something all people have the capacity to do, when they choose to. Most of the efforts related to conception arguably involve preventing conception from occurring to begin with. The thinking seems to be conceiving children can always happen. This however is not the case. There are any number of people who would like to conceive a child but cannot. This inability to produce offspring is often referred to as infertility.

Contrary to what some males may believe, male infertility can and does occur. The notion of a male being infertile can be a significant emotional blow, as it contradicts old stereotypes of men as being sexually vigorous and fit. When a man is unable to produce a child, it can be seen as a direct failure of the male to live up to expected standards. The term impotent for example typically refers to males, not females, who are unable to conceive children because of a sexual dysfunction. At its root, the word impotent refers to one who lacks potency, or strength. An impotent man then may literally be considered a man who lacks strength. Most men would likely consider it an insult for someone to refer to them as being weak.

There are various causes of male infertility, but typically male infertility comes down to one of two causes: an inability to perform sexual intercourse, or nonfunctional semen. Though it isn't completely necessary, sexual intercourse is the standard method for conceiving children. When a couple is unable to have sexual intercourse at all then, there's obviously going to be problems with conception. While women can have difficulty with intercourse, they may still be sexually functional. A male who isn't functional sexually will find it highly difficult, if not impossible, to have intercourse under any means.

Men may believe they will always have semen that's capable of fertilization, but semen can be and is sometimes damaged to the point of losing its ability to fertilize. There are any number of ways that a man's semen can lose its capacity to fertilize. An obvious way would be through a vasectomy, a sterilizing surgical procedure. Physical trauma to the testicles can also damage semen output, as can excessive heat in the area of the testicles. Studies suggest that smoking cigarettes can also damage semen and potentially make a male infertile.

While the reasons for male infertility can and do vary, infertility solutions for both men and women do exist. Infertility is enough of a problem that numerous facilities that solely treat infertility are in place. Some men who are infertile may not consider their infertility to be a problem. Men who are infertile and who do consider it problematic can and should seek treatment options out.
