Male infertility is a complex condition that may be identified through physical anomalies in the reproductive system or abnormalities within the sperm. In many cases, the exact causes remn unknown. During diagnostic processes, we utilize semen analysis to assess not only sperm count but also mobility and shape.
Causes of Male Infertility:
Semen Issues:
Low sperm count: This can manifest as a significantly reduced number of sperm per ejaculation.
Poor sperm mobility: Sperm may be unable to move efficiently toward the egg, hindering fertilization.
Abnormal sperm shape: Morphological abnormalities can impact the ability of sperm to penetrate and fertilize an egg.
Reproductive System Anomalies:
Varicocele: A condition where veins in the scrotum become enlarged and twisted, potentially reducing sperm quality and quantity.
Testicular damage: Any injury or trauma impacting testicle health can lead to reduced fertility.
Hormonal Imbalances:
Genetic Disorders:
Lifestyle Factors:
Diagnosing Male Infertility:
A comprehensive medical history is taken, followed by physical examination focusing on reproductive system functions. A semen analysis plays a pivotal role in assessing sperm quality. This test provides crucial data about the number, mobility, and morphology of sperm.
For patients struggling with fertility issues or seeking to understand their potential for conceiving, undergoing a fertility health screening offers valuable insight and empowers informed decision-making regarding family planning.
Working with a fertility specialist who prioritizes your well-being is crucial during this process. A personalized treatment plan can significantly impact outcomes.
Male Infertility Treatment Strategies:
Surgical sperm retrieval: For cases where no sperm are present in semen due to azoospermia, surgical techniques like PESA, TESA, TESE, and Micro-TESE m to extract viable sperm for use in fertility treatments.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection ICSI: This is a type of In Vitro Fertilization IVF where an embryologist injects live sperm directly into each egg. This method can enhance fertilization rates, particularly when dealing with male factor infertility.
Donor options: We offer treatments using donor eggs, sperm, and embryos for individuals who cannot use their own or have chosen alternatives such as single people, heterosexual couples, same-sex couples, or surrogate mothers.
