Fertility struggles arise often without warning &ndash; <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/about-sperm-and-eggs/donor-sperm/why-use-donor-sperm/infertility/">male infertility</a> shows minimal signs or symptoms &ndash; making the whole situation quite shocking. Therefore, we have gathered a few tips for you to consider on how you can cope with your current situation.</p>
<h2><span class="display-3">Four tips for dealing with male infertility</span></h2>
<ul>
<li><span class="text-theme-blue-700"><strong>Research male infertility</strong></span>: We recommend you research male infertility, write down questions you might have, and visit your doctor to learn more about your specific case. Understanding your diagnosis is the first step in reclaiming power over your fertility journey. Learning about male infertility will show you how common it is and that you are not alone.

<li><span class="text-theme-blue-700"><strong>Look into your options</strong></span>: If you are infertile because of low sperm count, it may be hard for you to change it. However, it is still possible for you to accomplish your dream of a child with the help of fertility treatments, a sperm donor, foster care, or an adoption agency. Look into these options and if you have a partner, discuss them together. Doing so will allow you to feel like an active participant along the way.</li>
<li><span class="text-theme-blue-700"><strong>Keep a healthy lifestyle</strong></span>: If you are infertile because of low sperm quality, it may be possible for you to improve it. Your <a href="/en-us/us-shop/client/about-sperm-and-eggs/donor-sperm/sperm-quality-and-motility-mot/">sperm quality</a> tends to be a result of your lifestyle. By focusing on a healthy diet, exercise, choosing boxers instead of briefs, and limiting your intake of caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, and recreational drugs you may increase the overall quality of your sperm.</li>
<li><span class="text-theme-blue-700"><strong>Talk to friends, family, or a therapist</strong></span>: There can be a stigma surrounding male infertility because many people mistakenly think there is a correlation between the ability to reproduce and manhood. Being filled with grief and guilt, and wanting to avoid the topic of infertility, are perfectly normal reactions. Nonetheless, talking to friends, family, or a therapist can help you process your feelings.</li>
</ul>
<h2><span class="display-3">The causes behind male infertility</span></h2>
<p>Male infertility can be caused by many different things. As previously mentioned, male infertility can be caused by low sperm quality related to lifestyle choices involving exercise, food, and the intake of toxic substances such as caffeine, alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs.</p>
<p>Genetics, hormonal disorders, sexually transmitted diseases, cancer, and cancer treatments can also be reasons for male infertility. Just like the medical conditions of necrozoospermia and azoospermia also negatively impact a male&rsquo;s fertility and chances of conceiving naturally.</p>
