Infertility issues are painful, both emotionally and psychologically. Once a couple has decided to have children the complete failure at pregnancy is a blow to the self-esteem of both of them. Women feel the pain of being childless while men feel a blow to their virility. Infertility issues have the potential of being on either side of the couple, male or female.
Although female infertility issues are more complicated male infertility can raise issues that may or may not be reversible. When a couple first believes they may have infertility problems they should have had unprotected sex for at least 6 months without a conception. Most physicians ask the couple to attend the first infertility appointment together. There some basic testing that can be done to quickly rule out the problem from the male side so that further testing can be performed on the woman.

Oligospermia, male infertility factor, is also known as oligozoospermia. Male infertility factors are 40% of the reasons couples have difficulty conceiving. 40% of the time the infertility factors fall on the woman’s side and 20% of the time the doctor can’t determine a problem with fertility.
Oligospermia is a medical term that means that there are less than 20 million sperm per milliliter of male ejaculate. However, that number is controversial and interpretation of semen analysis lab reports are often interpreted differently depending upon the doctor.
