What You Need To Know About Other Causes Of Male Infertility

In my previous posts, I mentioned most of the inherited causes of infertility in a man but apart from these inherited ones, there are other causes of infertility.
One thing is important concerning the inherited or genetic causes. This is that men who have genetic problems which cause their infertility, such as a deletion in the Y chromosome, can pass this problem to their sons, who would also have infertility, if they decide to use their own sperm to achieve pregnancy.

Chromosomal abnormalities is also one of the causes of male infertility in the sense that any man with extra X chromosome do produce very low quantity of sperm or don not even produce sperm at all let alone to pregnant a woman. Furthermore, deletion in the Y chromosome causes infertility no matter how little the quantity deleted is.

In other words, sex reversal syndrome is also one of the causes of male infertility meanwhile a man that has female genetic sex chromosomes (XX) instead of XY results to other things and will not be able to perform his duty. Sickle cell disease though and inherited condition affects the production of normal hemoglobin for fertility.

Other inherited conditions not mentioned in the previous post are hemochomatosis, this affects iron storage. Any man with this has testicular dysfunction. Myotonic dystrophy, this is an inherited condition that progresses to infertility under abnormal sperm production. And androgen receptor gene mutatuions, in this case a man genetically is complete but has infertility because of a defect in receptors for testosterone.

Other disease like liver, renal disease may cause infertility too. But other factors may arise from the defective delivery of sperm into a woman’s genital tract and this may be caused by premature ejaculation of impotency.
