Male Infertility

What is male infertility? Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause a pregnancy in a fertile female. This can be due to various factors, such as low sperm count, abnormal sperm shape or function, or issues with sperm production or delivery.

Causes

Low sperm count
Zero sperm count
Abnormal sperm shape or function
Issues with sperm production or delivery
Blockage problems
Environmental factors, such as exposure to toxins or radiation
Lifestyle factors, such as smoking, alcohol consumption, and drug use
Medical conditions, such as diabetes, testicular injury, or sexually transmitted infections

Diagnosis: Diagnosis typically involves a physical examination and discussion of symptoms, as well as laboratory tests to evaluate sperm count and quality.

Treatment options

Lifestyle changes: Making changes to lifestyle habits, such as quitting smoking or reducing alcohol consumption, may improve fertility.
Medications: Hormonal medications may be prescribed to improve sperm production.
Surgery: In some cases, surgery may be required to correct a physical issue, such as a varicocele. ART treatments, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), can be used with the help of Microsopic Sperm Extraction in cases of zero sperm count or blockage problems.

Male infertility can be a difficult and emotional experience, but there are treatment options available. By seeking medical attention and following your doctor’s recommendations, you and your partner can explore the options that are best suited to your specific needs and improve your chances of achieving a pregnancy.
