# Male Infertility

Male infertility is any health issue in a man that lowers the chances of his female partner getting pregnant.

Archived from the 2024 edition

## Overview

About 13 out of 100 couples can't get pregnant with unprotected sex. There are many causes for infertility in men and women. In over a third of infertility cases, the problem is with the man. This is most often due to problems with his sperm production or with sperm delivery.

The man's body makes tiny cells called sperm. During sex, ejaculation normally delivers the sperm into the woman's body.
