Abstract: Infertility is defined as inability of a couple to get a pregnancy after a year of regular intercourse without the use of contraceptive methods. The infertility of a couple caused by male factor only is related to 20-30% of cases of infertility. Causes of male infertility may be testicular or posttestic, and may be caused by: duct obstruction or ejaculatory disorders; genetic alterations, such as some syndromes (Klinefelter, XX or XYY man syndrome); by external factors of the human body, in other words, environmental factors such as exposure to radiation (radiation and chemotherapy), toxic chemical agents, such as solvents, pesticides and metals such as lead and manganese; occupational diseases, stress, heat exposure in some professions; by the exacerbated consumption of legal and illegal drugs; or idiopathic (with no apparent cause).
