It is important to look at the male factor of infertility.In 40 percent of infertile couples, the cause can be traced to the man, and in 40 percent of couples, the cause can be traced to the woman.In about 20 percent of couples, no cause for infertility can be found.
Some of the most common causes of infertility are:
- Problems with the man's reproductive system (ranging from sexually transmitted diseases, to varicose veins, to medical conditions like diabetes).
- Problems with the fallopian tubes.
- Problems with the cervix or uterus (endometriosis, scarring, or tumors).
