Andrology Treatment

Understanding Andrology

Andrology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on male reproductive health, including fertility, hormonal disorders, and sexual health. At DYU Advanced Fertility & Smart IVF Center, we provide advanced andrology treatments to help men overcome reproductive challenges and improve overall well-being.

Common Male Reproductive Health Issues Treated

1. Male Infertility

Low sperm count (Oligospermia)
Poor sperm motility (Asthenospermia)
Abnormal sperm shape (Teratospermia)
Absence of sperm in semen (Azoospermia)
Sperm DNA fragmentation

2. Erectile Dysfunction (ED)

Difficulty in achieving or maintaining an erection
Causes include vascular issues, diabetes, nerve damage, and psychological factors

3. Premature Ejaculation (PE)

Inability to control ejaculation, leading to distress
Can be caused by hormonal imbalances, psychological factors, or hypersensitivity

4. Hormonal Imbalances

Low testosterone (Hypogonadism)
High estrogen levels
Imbalances in FSH, LH, and prolactin affecting sperm production and libido

5. Varicocele

Enlarged veins in the testicles that can impact sperm production and cause discomfort

6. Peyronie’s Disease

Abnormal curvature of the penis due to fibrous plaque buildup, leading to pain and erectile difficulties

7. Testicular & Prostate Disorders

Prostatitis (inflammation of the prostate)
Testicular infections and abnormalities
Prostate enlargement affecting reproductive health

‍

Diagnostic Tests for Andrology Conditions

To diagnose and evaluate male reproductive health, our specialists conduct:

Semen Analysis: To assess sperm count, motility, and morphology
Hormonal Testing: Testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin levels
Scrotal & Prostate Ultrasound: To check for structural abnormalities
DNA Fragmentation Test: To assess sperm quality at the genetic level
Doppler Ultrasound for Varicocele: To detect blood flow issues in the testicles
Nocturnal Penile Tumescence Test: To evaluate erectile function

‍

Treatment Options

1. Medical & Hormonal Therapy

Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT): For men with low testosterone levels
Medications for ED & PE: PDE5 inhibitors (Viagra, Cialis), antidepressants for PE
Clomiphene & hCG Therapy: To stimulate sperm production in cases of hormonal deficiency
Antioxidant Therapy: To improve sperm quality and reduce DNA damage

2. Surgical Treatments

Varicocelectomy: Microsurgical correction of varicocele to improve sperm parameters
Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) & Micro-TESE: For men with azoospermia to retrieve viable sperm
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA): Minimally invasive sperm retrieval technique
Prostate Surgery: For severe cases of prostate enlargement affecting reproductive function

3. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Sperm is placed directly into the uterus
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Laboratory fertilization followed by embryo implantation
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): Direct injection of sperm into the egg
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): Screening embryos for genetic abnormalities before implantation

4. Lifestyle Modifications & Holistic Approaches

Dietary Improvements: Nutrient-rich diet to support reproductive health
Regular Exercise & Weight Management: To enhance testosterone levels and blood flow
Stress Management & Counseling: Addressing psychological factors impacting male fertility
Avoidance of Toxins & Harmful Substances: Reducing alcohol, smoking, and environmental pollutants
