Infertility doesn’t affect only women — male infertility is just as common. In fact, nearly 1 in 3 infertility cases are due to issues with the male partner. The good news? In most cases, male infertility can be diagnosed and treated successfully.
At SJS IVF Hospital, located at 77 Main Road, Dakoha, Jalandhar, we specialize in diagnosing and treating male fertility problems with advanced tools and compassionate care. Call 9815346823 to speak with our fertility experts today.
What is Male Infertility?
Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner, usually due to problems with sperm production, function, or delivery.
Fertility issues may go unnoticed until a couple tries to conceive. If pregnancy doesn’t occur within a year of regular, unprotected sex — it’s time to get evaluated.
What Causes Male Infertility?
There are several reasons why a man might have fertility issues. These include:
1.Low Sperm Count (Oligospermia)
2.Poor Sperm Motility (Asthenozoospermia)
3.Abnormal Sperm Shape (Teratozoospermia)
4. Hormonal Imbalances
5. Varicocele
6. Genetic Disorders
Treatment for Male Infertility
The treatment depends on the exact cause of infertility. At SJS IVF Hospital, we offer advanced, personalized care to improve male fertility and maximize the chances of pregnancy. Here’s a closer look at each treatment option:
1.Lifestyle Improvements
Small changes can make a big difference. Quitting smoking, reducing alcohol, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress can improve sperm count and quality. Avoiding heat exposure is also important. We guide you through practical steps to support natural fertility.
2.Medications or Hormone Therapy
If hormone levels are too low or high, medications can restore the balance and improve sperm production. Antibiotics may be used to treat infections, while hormone injections or pills like clomiphene can boost testosterone and sperm health. This non-surgical option is effective for many hormonal causes of infertility.
3.Varicocele Surgery
Varicocele is one of the most common and treatable causes of male infertility. Through a simple outpatient surgery, the enlarged veins in the scrotum are repaired, which improves blood flow and reduces testicle temperature—both of which help sperm production. Recovery is quick, and fertility often improves within months.
4.IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)
This is a less invasive fertility treatment where healthy sperm is washed and directly placed into the uterus during ovulation. It helps sperm get closer to the egg, increasing the chance of fertilization. IUI is ideal for men with slightly low sperm count or motility and is often combined with ovulation medicines.
IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
IVF is a highly effective option when other treatments haven’t worked. Eggs are taken from the female partner and fertilized in a lab using the man’s sperm. The best embryo is transferred to the uterus. IVF is especially helpful when sperm count or motility is severely affected but still usable.
ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
ICSI is often used along with IVF and is ideal for severe male infertility. A single healthy sperm is carefully injected directly into an egg. This technique helps even when sperm count is very low or if the sperm can’t swim properly. It significantly improves fertilization rates in challenging cases.
Sperm Retrieval Procedures
When there’s no sperm in the semen (azoospermia), sperm can still be retrieved directly from the testicles or epididymis using minor procedures. These techniques are safe and allow many men to become biological fathers even when sperm isn’t found in regular semen analysis. The retrieved sperm can then be used for IVF/ICSI.
