Male Infertility Treatment

Infertility in Men: Causes, Diagnosis & Advanced Treatment Options
Infertility in men refers to a male’s inability to help their female partner conceive even after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It contributes to nearly 40-50% of all infertility cases. If conception has not occurred within this timeframe, it is advised to consult a male infertility doctor for further evaluation and management.
Signs and Symptoms of Infertility in Men
Understanding the signs of infertility in men is crucial for timely intervention. Common symptoms of infertility in men include:
Difficulty in achieving pregnancy despite regular intercourse
Low sperm count or abnormal semen parameters
Pain, swelling, or lumps in the testicular region
Erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction
Reduced facial or body hair, indicating hormonal imbalance

These symptoms often go unnoticed or are mistaken for unrelated issues. Early identification and diagnosis are essential.
What Causes Infertility in Men?
Male infertility can be caused by several underlying biological or lifestyle factors:
Low sperm count, poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm morphology
Sperm blockage in the reproductive tract due to prior surgeries, infections, or congenital issues (sperm blockage treatment may be required)
Varicoceles (enlarged veins in the scrotum affecting temperature regulation and sperm production)
Dead sperm cells or non-motile sperm that fail to reach and fertilize the egg (dead sperm treatment may include assisted reproductive technologies)
Sperm infections, such as epididymitis or orchitis, require timely sperm infection treatment
Hormonal imbalances involving testosterone and other reproductive hormones
Past medical history of mumps in adolescence that affects the testes (treatment for male infertility due to mumps may involve hormone therapy or surgical correction)
Exposure to toxins, radiation, or heat
Undescended testicles or genetic defects
Obesity, smoking, alcohol consumption, and stress

Male Infertility Diagnosis and Testing
Evaluation typically begins with a comprehensive medical history and physical examination. Important diagnostic tests include:
Semen Analysis: Evaluates sperm count, motility, and morphology
Blood Test for Male Fertility: Hormonal profiling (FSH, LH, testosterone) to assess endocrine causes
Infertility Profile Test for Male: May include genetic testing and advanced semen analysis
Scrotal Ultrasound: Detects structural abnormalities like varicoceles
Specialized Sperm Function Tests: Examine sperm's ability to fertilize an egg
Testicular Biopsy: In cases of azoospermia, to determine sperm production status
Accurate diagnosis is the foundation for appropriate treatment.
