Many people still believe the woman is responsible when a couple can't have children. In many parts of the world men divorce their wives blaming them for not conceiving. Infertility and impotence are very different. Impotence is the inability to engage in sexual intercourse. Infertility, on the other hand, means an inability to produce children.
Most infertile men have satisfactory sexual relations with their partners.
It is also a possibility for an impotent man to be potentially fertile. Artificial insemination can be successful using the sperm of an impotent male. Some diseases, injuries and illnesses can be responsible for male infertility. A few of them are mumps, viral infections, hormonal imbalance, smallpox, cystic fibrosis, sexually transmitted diseases, environmental toxins, tobacco, alcohol and drugs, testicular injury or obstruction, spinal cord injury or disease, genetics, and sexual dysfunction. Hormonal imbalance, resulting from improper diet or drug use is contributing cause.
