There has been a spike in male infertility cases, largely driven by increasing stress levels, obesity, poor lifestyle choices, and growing environmental pollution. These factors affect sperm quality, hormone balance, and overall reproductive health. This growing trend is a cause for concern, especially among couples aged 25-35 trying to conceive. Early diagnosis, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, reducing stress, and avoiding smoking and alcohol can significantly help manage and improve male fertility.

Every year, National Infertility Awareness Week is observed between April 20 and April 26. It is done to raise awareness about infertility and the need for more people to be educated about it. Infertility affects both men and women. Male infertility refers to problems in a man's reproductive system that prevent him from successfully initiating a pregnancy with his partner.
