Infertility is often thought of as a woman’s issue, but male factor infertility accounts for nearly 40–50% of all infertility cases. It can be just as emotionally and physically taxing for men and their partners, but with the right diagnosis and treatment, there’s hope. At Simran IVF Fertility & Wellness Centre, we provide specialized evaluation, counseling, and treatments tailored to address male infertility effectively.
What is Male Factor Infertility?
Male factor infertility refers to the inability of a male to cause pregnancy in a fertile female. This typically relates to issues with the quantity or quality of sperm. Common problems include low sperm count, poor motility (movement), abnormal morphology (shape), or complete absence of sperm (azoospermia).
Common Causes of Male Infertility
1. Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia)
This condition is defined as having fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen.
2. Poor Sperm Motility
Even if sperm are present in good numbers, if they can’t swim efficiently, they may not reach the egg.
3. Abnormal Sperm Morphology
Misshaped sperm can struggle to penetrate and fertilize the egg.
4. Hormonal Imbalances
Issues with testosterone or other hormones can affect sperm production and quality.
5. Varicocele
A swelling of the veins that drain the testicle, varicoceles can affect sperm development.
6. Lifestyle Factors
Smoking, alcohol, stress, poor diet, obesity, and exposure to toxins can significantly impact male fertility.
Diagnosis at Simran IVF
At Simran IVF Fertility & Wellness Centre, we begin with a comprehensive evaluation, including:
- Semen Analysis: To assess sperm count, motility, and morphology.
- Hormonal Tests: To check levels of testosterone and other reproductive hormones.
- Ultrasound: To detect varicoceles or structural abnormalities.
- Genetic Testing: If necessary, to uncover inherited conditions.
Treatment Options for Male Infertility
1. Lifestyle Modifications
We counsel patients on diet, exercise, and avoiding harmful habits. Small changes can lead to big improvements in sperm health.
2. Medication and Hormone Therapy
In cases of hormonal imbalance or infections, medication can help restore fertility.
3. Surgical Treatment
Conditions like varicocele can be corrected with minimally invasive surgery to improve sperm parameters.
4. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)
At Simran IVF, we offer world-class ART solutions:
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Washed sperm are directly placed in the uterus around ovulation.
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Eggs are fertilized with sperm in a lab setting and then implanted in the uterus.
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A single healthy sperm is injected into an egg, ideal for severe male factor infertility.
- Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE): Sperm is retrieved directly from the testicles when it is not present in the ejaculate.
