Causes of Male Infertility :
Ayurveda explains following causes for male infertility :
· Ativyavayat– Over indulgence in sexual activity.
· Vyayamat– Over exertion, it may include any kind of physical exertion or strenuous mental efforts.
· Avyayamat– Over relaxation, laziness or spending very leisure life.
· Asatmyanam cha sevanat– Eating over spicy, salted, sour, frozen foods, foods with low nutrition and lack of hygiene; also behavioural habits like sleeping very late at night, hectic lifestyle leads to disparity of Rakta and Pitta Dosha, ultimately causing Shukra kshaya i.e. deficit in Shukra Dhatu qualitatively and quantitatively.
· Akale– It means at inappropriate time; i.e. before desirable age specifically before age of 16 in females and 18 in that of males, or beyond the age of 65-70 where the body faces generalised debility. Another aspect explains having intercourse very frequently and many times (5-6 times) in a day also leads to debility of Shukra dhatu.
· Ayonau– Indulging into sex in other than natural ways, i.e. Masturbation, oral or anal sex etc.
· Maithunam Na Cha Gachataha– Suppression of sexual urge.
· Narinam Arasaudnyata– Having intercourse with undesirable partner.

Trauma to the genital organs, generalised debility, muscle weakness and stress can result in erectile dysfunction.
Suppression of sexual urge, infection in reproductive tract, or any kind of stricture can cause an obstructive pathology.
