Commonly sperm production in the testes is the main problem leading to infertility. Low sperm count and/or dysfunction sperm are the usual problems associated with sperm production.
Other causes can include an obstruction in the tubes between the testes and the penis and can result in zero sperm in ejaculated semen. A loss of sperm mobility and an inability to bind to an egg can result from sperm antibodies that develop in some men. Erectile dysfunction and other sexual problems can also be contributing to infertility as well as nerve damage, surgery or hormonal problems such as the right messages not making it to the testes from the pituitary gland.
