How common is male infertility?

Male infertility is actually quite common. Of all the people trying to conceive that have been unable to do so, approximatley 40% of the cases are responsible in some way to the man. One out of every 8-10 couples experiences difficulties trying to conceive, so if half of those cases are related to the man, then you're talking to 5-10% of the male population may have trouble conceiving with his wife, which is exceptionally common.
