Male Infertility: Causes, Symptoms & Treatments
The best feeling in the world is to know that you are about to be parents.
But sometimes, due to certain reproductive issues, men experience difficulty in helping their women conceive. Male Infertility Treatment is crucial to those, who have been facing difficulty in fathering a baby. There might be certain physiological or anatomical conditions preventing the ejaculation of sperm or even affect the quality of sperm. In such a condition, sperm is retrieved by surgical procedures.
What Is Male Infertility?:
This condition occurs due to various factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, medical conditions, and lifestyle factors.
Male Infertility Causes:
- Low Sperm Count: Below normal range, potentially due to hormonal imbalances, genetic disorders, or exposure to toxins.
- Poor Sperm Motility: Impaired movement of sperm affecting its ability to reach the egg.
- Abnormal Sperm Shape: Difficulty in fertilizing the egg due to irregular sperm shape.
- Hormonal Imbalances: Conditions like hypogonadism or disorders affecting the adrenal or pituitary glands.
- Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the testicles causing decreased sperm production.
- Infections: STIs, prostatitis, or epididymitis damaging the reproductive system.
- Ejaculatory Disorders: Conditions like retrograde ejaculation affecting semen flow.
Male Infertility Symptoms:
- Difficulty Getting or Maintaining an Erection: Potential sign of hormonal imbalances or nerve damage.
- Pain or Swelling in the Testicles: Could indicate infections or injuries affecting fertility.
- Small or Soft Testicles: May signal issues with sperm production.
- Decreased Libido: Reduced interest in sex, possibly due to hormonal imbalances.
- Decreased Semen Volume: Less fluid released during ejaculation, possibly due to hormonal issues or genetic disorders.
- Abnormal Sperm Shape or Motility: Indicates problems with sperm production and fertility.
Surgical Procedures:
PICSI (Physiological Intra-Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection): An alternative to standard ICSI, where sperm selection mimics natural processes.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation: Damage to sperm DNA can cause male subfertility, IVF failure, and miscarriage.
IVF With Donor Sperm: Used when the male partner cannot produce sperm or has genetic issues.
Surgical Sperm Retrieval: For conditions preventing sperm passage; sperm is retrieved surgically from the epididymis or testicular tissue.
