When you know what might be the problem, then it is easier for you to find solutions. The process could be a little uncomfortable for you, but you are not alone, as many other men go through it too. As I did.


   Men are responsible for infertility in half the cases where couples have trouble conceiving a baby. Fortunately, once we have identified the problems there are treatments that can help solve problems.

  Doctors generally consider that it is not a fertility problem if the couple has been trying to become pregnant during unprotected sex for 12 months or more without success. It is generally recommended that testing for male infertility can do first because this process is much easier than testing for female infertility.

   First, you should make an appointment with a urologist. They will start by talking about your situation and then they will do a physical exam and take a sample of your semen. Be prepared to give information on any aspect of your medical history and lifestyle. They also need to know all the medications you are taking, whether prescribed or not, and surgeries or injuries they have had.

  Probably there are some questions that you find annoying or uncomfortable at least. They may involve the use of drugs at present or in the past, life choices, questions about sexually transmitted infections wins and your sex life with your spouse.

   You will be asked to provide a semen sample, discussed below, for normal sperm count sperm, sperm shape and how they move. Often sperm levels are responsible for the problems, but it may have a low sperm count and be rich or have a high sperm count and be infertile.

  The doctor also their sexual and reproductive organs physically inspect and check the hormone levels in the blood. Once the doctor found that the probable cause of fertility problems and even that is not a problem, then you can move on to other treatment options.
