Causes of male infertility: 

Methods of Diagnosis  

Scrotal     ultrasound. This     test uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images inside the body. A     scrotal ultrasound can help the doctor see if there is a varicocele or     other problems in the testicles and supporting structures. Hormone     testing. Hormones     produced by the pituitary gland, hypothalamus and testicles play a key role in sexual development and sperm production. 

Abnormalities in other hormonal or organ systems might also contribute to infertility. 

A blood test measures the level of testosterone and other hormones. 

Post-ejaculation  urinalysis. Sperm  in your urine can indicate that sperm are traveling backward into the     bladder instead of out your penis during ejaculation (retrograde     ejaculation). 

Genetic tests. When sperm concentration is extremely low, there could be a genetic cause. A  blood test can reveal whether there are subtle changes in the Y chromosome  — signs of a genetic abnormality. Genetic testing might be ordered to  diagnose various congenital or inherited syndromes. 

Testicular biopsy. This test involves removing samples from the testicle with a needle. If the results of the testicular biopsy show that sperm production is normal ,  then the problem is likely caused by a blockage or another problem with sperm transport. However, this test is not commonly used to diagnose the cause of infertility. 

Specialized sperm function tests. A number of tests can be used to check how well the sperm survive after ejaculation, how well they can penetrate an egg, and whether  there's any problem attaching to the egg. Generally, these tests are  rarely performed and often do not significantly change recommendations for treatment. 

Transrectal  ultrasound. A  small, lubricated wand is inserted into the rectum. It allows the doctor to check prostate, and look for blockages of the tubes that carry semen  (ejaculatory ducts and seminal vesicles).
