What is Male Infertility?
Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner. It usually stems from issues in sperm production, function, or delivery. While female factors are often discussed, male infertility contributes to over 40% of infertility cases, making it equally important to address.
Common Causes
Several physical, environmental, and lifestyle factors can impact male fertility. Common causes include low sperm count, abnormal sperm shape (morphology), reduced motility, varicoceles, infections, hormonal imbalances, and ejaculation disorders. Excessive heat, alcohol, smoking, and exposure to toxins also play a role.
Diagnosis & Testing
Diagnosis typically involves a semen analysis to evaluate sperm count, shape, and movement. Additional hormonal tests, scrotal ultrasound, genetic testing, and testicular biopsy may be performed depending on the case. At JP IVF Centre, we offer advanced diagnostics tailored to each patient’s history and condition.
Treatment Options
Treatment depends on the underlying cause. Options include hormone therapy, medication for infections, lifestyle modifications, surgical correction (like for varicoceles), or assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI. In cases of no sperm (azoospermia), sperm can often be retrieved surgically.
Emotional Impact & Support
Infertility can be emotionally distressing for men. Feelings of inadequacy, guilt, or frustration are common. At JP IVF Centre, we emphasize emotional well-being alongside medical care. Our counseling sessions help couples navigate this journey with strength and understanding.
