Male infertility means a man is not able to start a pregnancy with his female partner.

Male infertility can have many causes. You may not make enough sperm or healthy sperm. You may have a genetic problem like cystic fibrosis. You may have a blockage in your genital tract.

You may be more likely to have male infertility if you have had genital infections, injury to your testicles, or early or late puberty.

Treatment depends on what is causing your infertility. Treatments include artificial insemination, medicines, and surgery.
