It has been observed that if a couple is not able to conceive then first they focus females for the check up. But it has been observed that male fertility issue is a major problem and half of the couples are not able to conceive due to male infertility problems. Male fertility reflects the overall health of the man. If a man is healthy then he is able to produce healthy sperm. Male fertility depends upon various factors like hormonal regulation, physical fitness, mental stress, psychological issues and many more. Male fertility also depends on the health of testicles.
Male fertility problems can be caused due to damage to testicles health. If there is damage to the testicles then a male cannot produce sperms.
