Global burden of male infertility from 1990 to 2021 and 15 years forecast: A cross-sectional analysis of Global Burden of Disease Study 2021
The global burden of male infertility is increasing overall, with lower prevalence in high-SDI regions and higher DALYs in low-SDI regions. Attention should be paid to rapidly growing populations, improving reproductive health services, and equitable access. Screening and interventions for high-risk populations should be strengthened to curb the rising prevalence trend.
