Male Infertility Treatment

Understanding Male Infertility

Male infertility is a condition that affects the ability to conceive due to issues with sperm production, function, or delivery. It accounts for nearly 50% of infertility cases and can be caused by a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetic conditions, lifestyle factors, or underlying medical conditions. At DYU Advanced Fertility & Smart IVF Center, we offer cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment solutions to help men overcome fertility challenges.

Causes of Male Infertility

1. Sperm Production Issues

Low sperm count (Oligospermia)
Absence of sperm in semen (Azoospermia)
Poor sperm motility (Asthenospermia)
Abnormal sperm shape or structure (Teratospermia)

2. Hormonal Imbalances

Low testosterone levels
Elevated estrogen levels
Disorders affecting FSH, LH, and prolactin

3. Testicular & Reproductive Tract Disorders

Varicocele (enlarged veins in the testicles)
Undescended testicles
Infections like STDs, prostatitis, or orchitis
Previous surgeries causing obstructions

4. Genetic & Autoimmune Factors

Y chromosome microdeletions
Klinefelter syndrome
Antisperm antibodies that attack sperm cells

5. Lifestyle & Environmental Factors

Smoking, alcohol, and drug use
Exposure to toxins and radiation
Obesity and poor diet
Chronic stress and lack of exercise

Diagnostic Tests for Male Infertility

To determine the cause of infertility, our specialists conduct a range of tests:

Semen Analysis: To evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology
DNA Fragmentation Test: To assess sperm DNA integrity
Hormonal Testing: FSH, LH, testosterone, and prolactin levels
Scrotal Ultrasound: To check for varicocele or structural abnormalities
Genetic Testing: To detect chromosomal disorders affecting fertility
Testicular Biopsy: To assess sperm production directly from the testes

Treatment Options for Male Infertility

1. Medications & Hormonal Therapy

For men with hormonal imbalances, medications such as clomiphene citrate, gonadotropins, and testosterone therapy can help restore normal sperm production.

2. Surgical Interventions

For cases involving obstructions, varicocele, or testicular disorders, procedures such as:

Varicocelectomy: Surgery to repair varicocele and improve sperm quality
Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA) & Extraction (TESE): Sperm retrieval techniques for men with azoospermia
Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA): To retrieve sperm when ejaculation is not possible
Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA): Advanced sperm retrieval technique for obstructive azoospermia

3. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Processed sperm is placed directly into the uterus to improve fertilization chances.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Sperm is combined with eggs in a lab for fertilization and embryo transfer.
Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A single sperm is injected into an egg to increase fertilization success.
Preimplantation Genetic Testing (PGT): To ensure genetically healthy embryos before implantation.

4. Lifestyle Modifications & Holistic Approaches

Nutritional Counseling: Diet rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals to enhance sperm quality
Exercise & Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy BMI improves hormone balance and sperm production
Stress Reduction & Mental Health Support: Yoga, meditation, and therapy sessions to reduce anxiety
Avoiding Toxins & Harmful Substances: Minimizing exposure to heat, radiation, and chemicals
