Formally, a couple is deemed infertile if they aren't able to achieve a pregnancy after one year of regular unprotected sex. Male infertility is diagnosed when tests have been done on both partners and reproductive problems are identified in the male partner.
Those tests might include a physical examination and analysis of the man's sperm, looking at their number, movement and shape. Doctors might also carry out blood tests to look at hormone levels, and do genetic investigations or testicular biopsies.
For roughly two-thirds of infertile men, those tests will reveal an underlying problem with the number, quality or movement of sperm, says Professor Rob McLaughlin from Monash IVF. The original cause of those sperm problems can be things such as undescended testes, infections from diseases like mumps, injuries to the testes or damage caused by drugs or radiation.
However, no cause is found for low sperm counts in around 60 per cent of infertile men. The second most common cause of male infertility is a blockage of the tubes that take the sperm from the testes to the penis, Professor McLaughlin says. This affects more than one in 10 infertile men.
There are other problems that can cause infertility, too. Those include sexual dysfunction of one kind or another, which can result from spinal injuries, neurological problems or other causes. Antibodies against sperm also develop in some men, which can hinder sperm movement and block egg implantation during fertilisation.
About one in every 16 infertile men has sperm antibodies. Another cause of infertility is testicular cancer, as architect Andrew Cronin can attest. He discovered a lump in one of his testes at the age of 40, just four months after he married his wife Andrea.
