Why does teratozoospermia cause fertility problems?

By Silvia Fernández Fernández B.Sc., M.Sc. (director on Reproclinic).
Last Update: 06/11/2020

Teratozoozpermia is an alteration that affects the male semen in which the vast majority of spermatozoa have an abnormal morphology. The bad morphology of the sperm may be due to defects in their head, middle piece, or tail. These abnormalities prevent the sperm from fertilizing the egg. This is why it is one of the most common causes of male infertility.
