What are the common causes of infertility?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Did the previous checks need to be done, such as an ultrasound examination and a semen analysis? The sperm mortality rate is quite high; it's said to be male infertility. Please ask what are the common causes of infertility.

Doctor's answer:

Common causes of infertility include:
1. Incomplete maturation or damage and thinning of the seminiferous epithelium in the testes, leading to poor sperm quality and weak motility;
2. Low seminal fluid volume;
3. Variations in seminal plasma, such as when the epididymis, seminal vesicles, or prostate are inflamed, the pH, oxygen supply, nutrition, and metabolic processes may favor sperm movement and survival. If it involves antisperm antibodies, they can cause sperm agglutination, thereby impairing motility. Young men should avoid hot tubs and, in general, bath water temperatures should be around 34°C for optimal results.
