2015 | Ashok Agarwal, Aditi Mulgund, Alaa Hamada, Michelle Renee Chyatte
This study provides a global perspective on male infertility, highlighting the variation in infertility rates across different regions. It estimates that at least 30 million men worldwide are infertile, with the highest rates in Africa and Eastern Europe. The study uses data on female infertility to estimate male infertility rates, as direct data on male infertility is often lacking. The research found that male infertility rates vary significantly, with the highest rates in Africa and Central/Eastern Europe, and lower rates in North America, Australia, and parts of Asia. The study also notes that cultural and societal factors, such as stigma and patriarchal norms, can lead to underreporting of male infertility in certain regions. Additionally, the study emphasizes the need for further research into the causes and treatments of male infertility, as well as the importance of reducing stigma and cultural barriers. The study concludes that male infertility is a global health issue that requires more attention and research to better understand its prevalence and impact. The findings suggest that there is a need for a globally accepted method of calculating male infertility rates to better address the issue. The study also highlights the importance of raising awareness about male infertility and the need for more accurate data to improve treatment and support for infertile men.This study provides a global perspective on male infertility, highlighting the variation in infertility rates across different regions.
