Men who are dealing with infertility usually don’t have an abundance of symptoms. Low libido is a common symptom though. When men lose interest in sex, it could be due to infertility issues. They might also experience sexual dysfunction or abnormal hair growth. Since the symptoms are unique to male fertility, it is important to discuss everything with your doctor even if it doesn’t seem important. Your doctor is essentially working a puzzle when he or she evaluates you. Every symptom is a piece of that puzzle, and once the puzzle is put together, your doctor will know what tests and plans to use moving forward.

Once the problem is diagnosed, you will undergo treatment. The treatment used depends on the cause of the infertility. If you’re infertile due to an infection, your doctor will put you on a round of antibiotics. If your sperm count is low, your doctor will prescribe medication. The treatment options are as vast as the causes, so your doctor will need to evaluate you and come up with the best option for you.

Any male can experience male infertility, but there are certain risk factors to consider. Men are more likely to be infertile if they are over the age of 40, overweight, or have an STI. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption can also lead to infertility. It’s important to talk about your habits with your doctor so he or she can help you.
