Understanding Male Infertility: Causes, Testing, and Treatment Options at Boston IVF

Infertility affects individuals with testes and ovaries equally, yet many assume that infertility is primarily a female issue.

  • Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)
  • Hormonal imbalances
  • Age-related infertility
  • Obesity and poor nutrition
  • Genetic abnormalities
  • Exposure to toxins (smoking, drug use, radiation)
