A unique view on male infertility around the globe

2015 | Ashok Agarwal*, Aditi Mulgund1,3, Alaa Hamada2 and Michelle Renee Chyatte3
This study examines the global prevalence of male infertility, a condition affecting an estimated 15% of couples worldwide, with males responsible for 20-30% of infertility cases. However, accurate regional data is scarce. The research method involved systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and population-based studies to estimate male infertility rates. The study found that the percentage of infertility due to male factors ranged from 20% to 70%, with the percentage of infertile men ranging from 2.5% to 12%. Infertility rates were highest in Africa and Central/Eastern Europe, while North America, Australia, and Central and Eastern Europe had rates of 4-6%, 8-9%, and 8-12%, respectively. The study concludes that at least 30 million men worldwide are infertile, with the highest rates in Africa and Eastern Europe. It emphasizes the need for further research, reduced stigma, and cultural barriers to improve understanding and treatment of male infertility.This study examines the global prevalence of male infertility, a condition affecting an estimated 15% of couples worldwide, with males responsible for 20-30% of infertility cases.
