It’s surprising to see how people are becoming more aware of male-factor infertility. Earlier, when a couple couldn’t become parents, they would hold their female partners responsible for not being able to conceive.
According to research, among a whopping 186 million population facing infertility, half of these people are men. When you seek infertility treatment in Lahore, both partners will most likely be advised to get tested.
And while some men feel hopeless and depressed, there’s nothing to worry about. You can impregnate your female partner and have your biological children. Treatment of male infertility is available at Australian Concept.
Australian Concept offers advanced and science-backed infertility treatment in Lahore. So, don’t lose hope just yet. We have conducted detailed research on male infertility, how it affects your chances of conception, causes, symptoms, and some viable treatment options that can work wonders for infertile couples. Let’s get started.
Male infertility refers to a reproductive issue that makes it difficult for a man to impregnate their female partners after having unprotected sexual intercourse for over a year. Contrary to what people believe, male-factor infertility is a common issue affecting up to 15% of men worldwide. Let’s get deeper into it.
The male reproductive system produces sperm cells, which must be fused with the egg for fertilization and pregnancy. The sperm is stored and transported from the testicles to the epididymis and is mixed with the liquid produced in the prostate and seminal vesicles.
It transforms into semen, which is then released from the man’s body during ejaculation. In a healthy man, sperm undergo three vital stages: production, storage, and transportation. For pregnancy, a man’s semen must contain a normal amount of sperm, which moves at the right speed and is structurally perfect.
It only takes one healthy sperm to fertilize an egg. But if your sperm count in a semen analysis test shows less than 39 million in a single ejaculate, it’s considered low, and that could be the culprit.
Sperm motility means its movement. Ideally, sperm move in the forward direction at a speed of 25 micrometers per second. If it doesn’t move in the right direction or moves extremely slowly, it may not fertilize an egg.
The swollen veins in the scrotum (varicocele) might not necessarily cause infertility, but they can be a contributing factor.
Sexually transmitted infections and other infections of the reproductive organs are other contributors to male infertility. You need to get checked for these infections and start antibiotics and other treatment options as recommended.
Your body produces testosterone, which plays a very crucial role in making and maintaining sperm. Disrupted hormones can take a toll on your sperm health. This can lower the sperm count or damage these cells, making it harder for the female partner to conceive.
Prolonged use of steroids can shrink testicles and lower sperm production. Men who drink excessive alcohol are at an increased risk of infertility due to low sperm production, erectile dysfunction, and liver issues that can contribute to a greater risk of infertility.
Klinefelter’s syndrome is a genetic condition where a male baby has two X chromosomes and one Y chromosome. This abnormal count of chromosomes can affect the man’s reproductive organ development. Likewise, if their testicles remain undescended (not released into the scrotum from the abdomen), there’s a risk they will face infertility.
Knowing male infertility symptoms and when to seek medical help is crucial. Here’s what to watch out for:
If it’s more than a year since having unprotected sex, it’s best to see a professional.
A semen analysis is a comprehensive test that studies all elements that can contribute to male-factor infertility. This includes sperm count, shape, motility, and semen concentration.
An abnormal hormone level, especially reproductive hormones such as testosterone, can slow or stop sperm production, leading to infertility. A simple blood test can detect your hormone levels and rule out hormonal imbalance as the cause of infertility.
It's an imaging test that uses high-frequency sound waves to generate images of the inside of the testicles and the surrounding structure. It shows varicocele, structural issues, and other problems that can disrupt sperm production or transportation.
If your semen sample has extremely low or zero sperm count, your doctor may want to run genetic tests to discover congenital or inherited medical conditions. Choose a male fertility clinic in Lahore that offers advanced fertility testing, such as DNA fragmentation testing, a test that checks the DNA structure in the man's sperm.
Treatment for male infertility is determined based on your underlying cause of infertility. The treatment options are categorized into surgical and non-surgical procedures. If nothing works, your last resort is Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART). Let’s explore some popular male infertility treatments in Lahore.
When non-invasive or minimally invasive treatments for male infertility fail, ART is your best option for conception. Here’s what it includes:
Intrauterine Insemination: It involves the injection of sperm cells into the woman’s uterus around the time she’s ovulating to maximize the chances of fertilization. It’s ideal for men with slightly low sperm count or poor motility.
In-Vitro Fertilization: If you have an extremely low sperm count, IVF with ICSI can help increase your chances of impregnating your partner. In IVF, a woman’s eggs are combined with her partner’s sperm (which are surgically retrieved) in a lab. The sperm is mixed with the egg for fertilization. Once fertilized, the embryo is implanted into the woman’s uterus.
