Causes of Male/Sperm Factor Infertility

In Canada, 15% of couples experience infertility with a male / person with sperm factor contributing in approximately 50% of cases1. Male / sperm factor infertility is increasingly common, with several studies demonstrating declining sperm quality and counts worldwide2. 

    As factors causing infertility often co-exist, both partners (those with eggs/uterus and those with sperm) should be evaluated and managed concurrently. 

    At the Regional Fertility Program (RFP), we can help identify the causes and develop a personalized treatment plan based on our findings. Treatments may include lifestyle changes, medical therapy, or surgical interventions to facilitate achieving your fertility goals.
