So many people assume that infections only affect your body temporarily, but when not treated quickly and properly it could have lasting affects on certain bodily systems including your fertility. Almost any infection that has a negative result on your immune system can influence your fertility, but the ones that are most harmful to the fertility of men are sexually transmitted diseases. The moment these infections are left untreated you are repeatedly infected and will experience regular ‘flare-ups’. This results in blockage and scaring in the reproductive tract. Mycoplasma is a small organism found in some sexually active men that actually attaches itself to the sperm cell and consequently impeding motility.

Mumps is another illness that’s likely to cause male infertility, especially if contracted after puberty. This can possibly lead to orchitis or inflammation of the testicles, however even though this complication is rare it could still cause sperm production to be impaired.
