Male factors are involved in nearly 50% of infertility cases, with sperm-related issues being the most common. Key causes of male infertility include:

• Congenital or acquired abnormalities of the genitourinary system
• Malignancies
• Urogenital infections
• Varicocele
• Endocrine disorders
• Genetic abnormalities
• Immunological factors

However, in 30 – 40% of infertile men, no clear cause is identified. Potential contributing factors may include environmental pollution, oxidative stress caused by free radicals, genetic or epigenetic abnormalities, and occupational exposures.

The Specialized Urology Clinic, located within Pooyesh Fertility Clinic at Isfahan Health Care City, is equipped with advanced diagnostic and therapeutic technologies and staffed by experienced urologists. The clinic provides a wide range of services for infertile couples, which are detailed in the Urology Services section.

It is crucial to note that a thorough evaluation of the male partner is just as essential as the female partner’s assessment in identifying the cause of infertility and choosing the right treatment. Therefore, it is highly recommended that couples attend their first consultation together.
