Male Fertility Specialist in Maryland

Some 66% of infertile men make low numbers of sperm or produce sperm that does not work correctly. The causes of such conditions include: 

Physical Problems – These are experienced by about one in five infertile men, including those who have had a vasectomy but now want to have children. Blockages or obstructions in the tubes leading from the testicles to the penis can also prevent sperm ejaculation.

Sexual Problems 

Low Levels of Hormones Made in the Brain

Genetic Problems – Infertile men can have chromosomal conditions affecting sperm production, such as: 

• Klinefelter Syndrome – Men with this condition were born with an extra X chromosome.

• Y Chromosome Deletions – This condition involves the absence of significant genetic material from a man’s Y chromosome necessary for sperm production.

• Down Syndrome
