Genetic Male Infertility

Genetic male infertility refers to difficulty in conceiving due to genetic factors affecting sperm production or function. It can result from various inherited conditions or chromosomal abnormalities, such as Klinefelter syndrome, where males have an extra X chromosome. These genetic issues can lead to low sperm count, poor sperm quality, or absence of sperm (azoospermia). Understanding genetic male infertility is essential for couples facing challenges in conception, as genetic testing and counseling can help identify the problem and guide potential treatments, such as assisted reproductive technologies.
