One disorder, many causes

Sperm cells are sensitive to stress and similar factors

Many different factors are acting together in order to have a normal and healthy spermatogenesis. Deficiencies detected in the spermiogram can therefore be related to several causes. The main causes are: Subhead: Medical causes Congenital diseases, pelvis surgery, but also hormone disorders, mumps, as well as inflammations on the outer area of the penis or varicose veins in the testicles area.

Lifestyle related causes

Continuous stress, deficiency symptoms due to eating habits, smoking, intake of alcohol and drugs may limit fertility.

Other causes

Environment-based hormone disorders, pollution, changes in eating habits and food components, but also age plays a role (after the age of 40 fertility starts decreasing at the latest). Therefore the spermiogram should not be postponed for too long. Waiting does not increase fertility.
