Infertility is the inability to conceive after one year of cohabitation without the use of any contraceptives. Infertility is a common problem that affects one in six couples. Some of the causes of infertility in men include varicocele, testicular torsion or trauma, cryptorchidism, infections of the seminal vesicles, hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, genital dyskinesia, reproductive canals obstruction, anti-sperm antibodies, and obesity. Bacterial infections of the genital system are also important and common causes of infertility. Infections can disrupt the reproductive process through a variety of processes. Also, various studies have shown that Chlamydia trachomatis is directly related to sperm function and its effect on sperm parameters.
