According to experts, infertility is no longer uncommon in both men and women. Although the rate of infertility in men is lower than in women, based on what you've said, it's very possible you fall into that minority group.
When a couple has been living together for at least a year, having regular sexual intercourse (about 2-3 times a week) without using any contraception, and the woman is still unable to conceive, this is commonly referred to as infertility. Infertility can originate from the man or the woman, or both the man and the woman may be infertile.
External signs:
The external genitalia include the glans, shaft, and scrotum. If a man is infertile, these parts may exhibit some of the following signs:
- Testicular abnormalities: The testicles are where semen is produced. Therefore, any abnormalities in the testicles can lead to infertility in men. Abnormalities may include: testicular pain, lumps, swelling, twisting, or testicles that are too small.
- Signs in the scrotum: The scrotum is the layer of skin that covers and protects the testicles. According to experts, swelling, redness, or unusual pain in the scrotum may be a sign of epididymitis or testicular torsion, both of which are causes of infertility in men.
- Pain, swelling, redness, pimples, inflammation, and sores on the glans penis are also signs that men may be prone to infertility.
During ejaculation:
Pain during ejaculation: Pain during ejaculation is one of the signs of male infertility: If men carefully examine the semen, they may see that the semen is cloudy or contains abnormal blood.
Abnormal ejaculation: Abnormalities such as excessive ejaculation, insufficient ejaculation, or no ejaculation at all can be signs of infertility, as men may be suffering from retrograde ejaculation or anejaculation, which can cause infertility.
If, about 30 seconds after ejaculation, the semen remains unchanged in color, still thick, or clumpy, it is also a sign of infertility.
- The amount of semen ejaculated is too low or there is no sperm at all.
If your sperm falls into any of the above categories, it is very likely that you are infertile due to poor sperm quality.
Erectile dysfunction: Erectile dysfunction is characterized by the inability of the penis to become erect, making intercourse impossible. This can be a significant sign of infertility in men.
Premature ejaculation: Men with premature ejaculation often experience a decrease in both the quantity and quality of sperm, or ejaculate before intercourse, leading to infertility or even sterility.
Urinary tract disorders: Urinary tract disorders, including frequent urination, painful urination, burning sensation during urination, etc., can be caused by several dangerous infectious diseases or sexually transmitted diseases; they can also be due to impaired reproductive function in men.
In addition, male infertility symptoms may include:
– Frequent hair loss, belly fat, and rapid weight gain around the abdomen.
– Dry and wrinkled skin.
– Lack of desire and vitality in sex.
- Prolonged stress, mental breakdown, constant feelings of anxiety and pressure.
– Excessive sweating and the appearance of many hot, red spots.
– Lack of flexibility, weak movements…
