Male Reproductive System Disorders
Around 15 out of every 100 couples are infertile. Male and female infertility are even split as the cause for those couples. In men, having a low sperm count is a major reason behind having trouble conceiving. Even when sperm counts are normal, you may have issues with immobile sperm or a blockage preventing the sperm from traveling in the female reproductive tract. If you are having problems ejaculating or have pain in your testicles, seek medical assistance.
