Q: What kinds of structural problems can cause male infertility?

Answer(s) to this Question (

1 / 1

)

Structural Causes of Male Infertility

As with other causes of male infertility, physical structure of the male reproductive organs can have an impact on the ability to produce offspring.

Structural conditions which can contribute to male infertility fall into three main categories:

Testicular
Ductal
Penile

Testicular structural problems affecting male fertility include:

underdeveloped testes
missing testes or missing portions of the testes
deformity of the seminal vesicles - where the sperm is stored prior to ejaculation

Ductal problems can encompass:

Congenitally blocked vas deferens (the tube that transports sperm)
Malformed or absent seminal ducts - ducts through which sperm exits during ejaculation
Scarred ducts associated with infection
Genetically missing ducts

Penile structural problems may include:

Damaged musculature which prevents erection
Damaged urethra - the passage through which urine and sperm exit the body
Hypospadias - urinary opening on the underside of the penis rather than at the tip

Male infertility is a product of many different disorders, including structural problems within the male reproductive system. Only through thorough evaluation by an Infertility Specialist, can structural problems be identified and treated.
