Male infertility accounts for approximately 40-50% of all cases of infertility. Its causes include various sperm production disorders, varicocele, hormonal issues (i.e. hypogonadotropic hypogonadism), smoking, drug and alcohol abuse, past chemotherapy, certain infections (such as prostatitis), ejaculation disorders and vas deferens obstruction.
