Male Infertility Treatment
Infertility is a common problem for males. Conception is a complicated process and there are many obstacles. Fortunately, if you have infertility issues, that doesn’t automatically mean that you won’t be able to have your own child with your partner. There are treatments and procedures that can increase the chances of conception.
A man’s fertility generally relies on the quantity and quality of his sperm. If the number of sperm a man ejaculates is low or if the sperm is of poor quality, it will be difficult, and sometimes impossible, for him to cause a pregnancy. Male infertility is diagnosed when, after testing both partners, reproductive problems have been found in the male.
What Causes Male Infertility?
Male infertility is usually caused by problems that affect either sperm production or sperm transport. Through medical testing, the doctor may be able to find the cause of the problem.
- Azoospermia: Your infertility can be related to your inability to produce sperm cells.
- Oligospermia: The production of low or poor quality sperm.
- Genetic diseases: Examples include Klinefeflter’s syndrome, myotonic dystrophy, microdeletion and more.
- Malformed sperm: Sperm that cannot live long enough to fertilize the egg.
- Some medical conditions: Examples include diabetes, some autoimmune disorders, cystic fibrosis and some infections.
- Variococles: This is a condition where the veins on your testicles are larger than normal, causing them to overheat, which can affect the shape or number of your sperm.
- Cancer treatments:Chemotherapy, radiation or a surgery that removes the testicles (one or both).
- Unhealthy habits: Substance use, including alcohol, smoking and drugs.
- Hormonal disorders: Disorders that affect your hypothalamus or pituitary glands can affect your infertility.
Diagnosis begins with a complete physical examination to determine your general state of health and identify any physical problems that may impact your fertility. Your healthcare provider may also interview both you and your partner about your sexual habits.
A couple is usually considered to be infertile when pregnancy has not occurred after one year of unprotected intercourse.
Worldwide the incidence of infertility is 10 to 15 % of married couples. Male factor: 30% Female factor: 30% Both factors: 30% Unexplained infertility: 10% This means both partners are equally responsible for infertility. So both male and female partner requires simultaneous investigation and treatment.
