The precise balance of hormones in a man’s body determines the success of the male reproductive system. Male infertility can result if the body doesn’t produce enough testosterone or gonadotropins, which includes follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH).
The conditions described below are connected to hormonal imbalances:
Hormonal problems primarily can be traced back to either the primary glands that produce the hormones or the glands that the hormones target:
If one of these glands malfunctions, this can cause problems in sperm production or quality.
Low sperm counts, sperm abnormalities and male infertility may be caused by hormonal problems, anatomical problems, immunological problems or even environmental factors.
Sometimes genetic abnormalities can reduce sperm production. Sperm can also be affected by the immune system. Certain men may have immune systems that attack their own sperm.
