Diagnosing infertility due to unexplained causes is by no means an easy process. Basically it’s based on a diagnosis by exclusion where your reproductive endocrinologist will examine you and perform various tests in the attempt to pinpoint what may be causing your infertility. After taking into account the regularity of your intercourse and the amount of time you’ve been trying your health practitioner might diagnose you with unexplained infertility if you are in fact ovulating normally, your fallopian tubes are open and healthy and you have no pelvic adhesions. Also if you don’t suffer from endometriosis, your partner produces healthy sperm with a high motility and if your postcoital test is positive.

To diagnose a patient with unexplained infertility relies on the thoroughness of your practitioner, the more test you do the more likely you are as to finding a cause for your or your partners infertility.

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.
