Male / Sperm Factor Infertility

Gender-Inclusive Language Disclaimer: This page uses terms like "male" and "female" to describe reproductive anatomy and biological processes. We recognize that these terms do not fully encompass the diversity of gender identities and experiences. Our intention is to provide inclusive, accurate information that respects all individuals, regardless of their gender identity.

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.
