All those that affect sperm production or the ability to expel sperm during ejaculation. In this sense, we find disorders at 3 different levels:

  • Pretesticular: hormonal alterations due to medication intake, lifestyle habits, diabetes, etc.
  • Testicular: varicocele, hydrocele, cryptorchidism, orchitis, etc.
  • Post-testicular: obstruction of the seminal ducts due to inflammation, retrograde ejaculation, etc..

It is also possible that there is a genetic disease that causes infertility, such as Klinefelter's syndrome, microdeletions of the Y chromosome, etc.
