Etiological spectrum and contributing factors of male infertility among Pakistani men
Male infertility in Pakistan is influenced by a complex interplay of metabolic, infectious and lifestyle factors. Diabetes, sexually transmitted infections and prior testicular surgeries were key contributors. These findings call for greater awareness and accessible fertility services, along with multicenter research to guide health policies and optimize management in resource-limited settings.
