- Sexual Issues. In less than 1% of males with infertility problems, a problem with sexual intercourse or technique
will affect fertility. - Emotional Stress. Stress may interfere with the hormone GnRH and reduce sperm counts.
- Impotence, premature ejaculation, or psychologic or relationship problems can contribute to infertility, although these conditions are usually very treatable.
Some common Causes of Low Sperm Count
Male Sub fertility
'sub fertility' is the term given for reduces fertility. In the male this can have several causes including: sperm production problems; blockages in the sperm's delivery system;injuries to the testicles;low or high hormone production;varicocele (varicose veins around the testicle); past illnesses/ infections/ various diseases;and certain medications.
But even if you are diagnosed with low fertility, there is no need to panic. Modern medicine offers an array of treatments that will lead your little soldiers to battle

Contributory factors to poor sperm quality
Age
The effect of aging on male fertility is not clear, however, evidence is growing that it may be a factor. Fertilization rates are usually over 60% for men under 39 but for those over that age, the rates fell to slightly over half.
Age, naturally is an important factor. The sperm count are observed to be declining with age according to the reserches done on the male partners of couples who sought tratment for sub fertility.
Obesity,smoking,alcohol,drugs,stress,poor nutrition and lack of exercise all can contribute to poor sperm quality. Even wearing tight under garments for long hours can cause in increase in the temperature of the testicles and impair sperm production. It is hypothesised that junk food may possibly contain animal oestrogens that reduce sperm count, although this theory is still in the research stage. Environmental pollution is suspected by some researchers to impact sperm counts.

Sperm quality
Sperm quality consists of five major factors : sperm motility,speed,count,concentration and morphology (shape and size). Any one of these attributes can chances of conception.
Sperm Count in Men
Lack of fertility is not attributable to the male partner alone. Out of the couples who seek treatment, a significant proportion is due to the male factor (about 30% due to the male alone and another 30% due to male and female factors combined).
