Abstract

Male infertility is a condition that affects a man's ability to contribute to pregnancy after one year of unprotected sex. Common causes, to name a few, would be: oligospermia, azoospermia or problems with the mobility and morphology of sperm, hormonal alterations, as well as lifestyles. Some infections, acquired through unprotected sexual relations, can affect the production of sperm or cause scars that block their passage, one of them, caused by Ureaplasma urealyticum.
