North Cyprus IVF Clinic specializes in infertility investigation as much as it offers treatments. Even though there is a common misconception that majority of fertility problems are female oriented, in quite a few cases, infertility arises from a male factor.

What Causes infertility in men?

Infertility in men is most often caused by:
- problems making sperm -- producing too few sperm or none at all. This is often referred to as azoospermia.

- problems with the sperm's ability to reach the egg and fertilize it -- abnormal sperm shape or structure prevent it from moving correctly

Sometimes a man is born with the problems that affect his sperm. Other times problems start later in life due to illness or injury. For example, cystic fibrosis often causes infertility in men.

What increases a man's risk of infertility?

The number and quality of a man's sperm can be affected by his overall health and lifestyle. Some things that may reduce sperm number and/or quality include:
- alcohol
- drugs
- environmental toxins, including pesticides and lead
- smoking cigarettes
- health problems
- medicines
-radiation treatment and chemotherapy for cancer
-age

Semen Analysis

With the aid of a semen analysis, sperm can  be categorized in the following groups:

Azoospermia: Nearly or no live sperm cells in semen

Oligospermia: Low count of live sperm cells

Asthenospermia: Low motility

Terathospermia: Low morphology

Fertile: No problems with count, motility or morphology

Sub-Fertile: Slight male factor infertility.
