Expert Insights on Male Infertility: What Every Couple Should Know

Understanding Male Infertility

Male infertility, a condition that affects nearly 40-50% of all infertility cases in the city, is more common than you might think. It refers to a man’s inability to contribute to conception with his partner after a year or more of regular, unprotected intercourse. Thanks to medical advancements and better awareness, identifying and treating male infertility is now more effective than ever before.

If you seek expert evaluation for male fertility, Rainbow Hospitals offers not just advanced diagnostic tools and a multidisciplinary team, but also a supportive environment that prioritizes your emotional well-being throughout the process.

Common Causes of Male Infertility

There isn’t a single cause behind male infertility. Often, it’s a mix of physical, hormonal, lifestyle, or genetic factors. The most common causes include:

Ø Low sperm count (oligospermia)

Ø Poor sperm motility (asthenozoospermia)

Ø Abnormal sperm shape (teratozoospermia)

Ø Blocked reproductive tract or varicocele

Ø Hormonal imbalances (like low testosterone levels)

Ø Infections, chronic illnesses, or autoimmune conditions

Ø Lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, drug use, obesity, stress, and prolonged exposure to heat or toxins

At our men’s fertility clinic, our best fertility doctors combine precision diagnostics with personalized care to uncover the root cause and develop the most suitable treatment plan.

When Should You Seek Help?

Many men delay getting evaluated, believing fertility is solely a woman’s concern. However, early intervention can dramatically improve outcomes. It’s crucial to speak to a fertility specialist if:

You and your partner have been trying to conceive for over a year without success

Ø You have a history of testicular, prostate, or sexual problems

Ø You have undergone chemotherapy, radiation, or surgery near the groin

Ø Family history of infertility or genetic conditions

Ø You experience issues with libido, erections, or ejaculation

Diagnostic Tools and Evaluation

Our approach begins with empathy and a comprehensive diagnostic process. This includes:

Semen Analysis: To check sperm count, movement, and structure

Hormonal Testing: To evaluate testosterone and other hormone levels

Scrotal Ultrasound: To identify varicocele, blockages, or abnormalities

Genetic Testing: If needed, especially in cases of zero or very low sperm count

Testicular Biopsy: Sometimes performed to assess sperm production directly

Our goal is to pinpoint the problem and support each patient through every step of the journey, medically and emotionally.

Treatment For Male Infertility

Treatment depends on the underlying cause, ranging from simple lifestyle changes to assisted reproductive techniques. Some of the common treatments include:

Lifestyle Modifications: Healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking/alcohol

Medication: Hormone therapy or antibiotics for infections

Surgery: Correcting varicoceles or repairing obstructions

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):

Sperm Retrieval Procedures like TESA, PESA for azoospermia (no sperm in the ejaculate)

After sperm retrieval, one of the following techniques are recommended depending on the sperm quality and motility

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)

IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is often used in severe male infertility
