Glossary Male Fertility

refers to a man's ability to father a child

Male fertility, also known as male reproductive health, refers to a man's ability to father a child. It involves the production of healthy sperm, the ability of sperm to reach and fertilize an egg, and the overall health of the male reproductive system. Factors affecting male fertility include sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and the presence of any medical conditions or lifestyle factors that could impair reproductive function.
