ETIOLOGY AND DIAGNOSIS OF MALE INFERTILITY

Öz

The global incidence of infertility is increasing year by year, and infertility has become a major medical, psychological, and social problem. According to the World Health Organization's report in 2023, 17.5% of the population worldwide had fertility problems. During the last 25 years, sperm quantity and quality have shown a great diminishment. The male factor is responsible for approximately 50% of infertility cases. Several factors, such as sperm morphologic problems, genital tract structural anomalies, drugs, genetics, environmental factors, and endocrine dysregulation, have a strong bearing on reproductive health. The causes and mechanisms leading to male infertility are very important to understand in order to diagnose and conduct the treatment of the condition to help a couple conceive. This review intends to give an overview of male infertility with regard to causes and diagnostic methods.
