Male fertility
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-006936
The capacity of a male to produce viable sperm and successfully contribute to conception. This involves the production of healthy spermatozoa, their transport, and their ability to fertilize an ovum. Factors such as sperm count, motility, and morphology are key indicators of male reproductive potential.
