Male infertility can have multiple causes, such as:

• Low sperm production
• A deficiency in the semen
• Abnormal sperm
• A blockage or obstruction in the passage, which prevents the delivery of sperm.

Factors of Infertility Among Men:

• Poor diet
• Lack of physical activity
• Obesity
• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Stress
• injuries
• illness/chronic health problems
• exposure to certain chemicals

Symptoms Of Infertility Among Men

Symptoms of male infertility include:

• Reduced sexual desire.
• Erectile dysfunction, i.e. difficulty in maintaining an erection.
• Difficulty in ejaculation or, a small amount of sperm.
• Other than these, a lump, swelling, or pain in the testicle area is another symptom of male infertility.

It’s crucial to pay attention to these symptoms.

Male Infertility: Diagnosis

With an early diagnosis, the issue can be tackled better. The initial diagnosis for male infertility involves:

• A full medical history.
• Physical examination.
• A blood test.
• General hormone tests.
• Semen analysis for sperm production and motility.
• Transrectal ultrasound.
• Testicular biopsy (if required).
• Hormonal profile.
• Post-ejaculation urine analysis (to detect if sperms are travelling backward into the urinary bladder).
• DNA fragmentation test.
• Sperm Aneuploidy Test (SAT) (to study the genetic background or cause of male infertility. It finds out chromosomal abnormalities in the sperm).

Some additional tests to help identify the cause of your infertility, include:

Scrotal ultrasound.

This test uses high-frequency sound waves to produce images inside your body. A scrotal ultrasound can help your doctor see if there is a varicocele or other problems in the testicles and supporting structures.

Transrectal ultrasound.

A small, lubricated wand is inserted into your rectum. It allows your doctor to check your prostate and look for blockages of the tubes that carry semen.

Hormone testing.

Hormones produced by the pituitary gland, hypothalamus and testicles play a key role in sexual development and sperm production. Abnormalities in other hormonal or organ systems might also contribute to infertility. A blood test measures the level of testosterone and other hormones.

Post-ejaculation urinalysis.

Sperm in your urine can indicate your sperm are traveling backward into the bladder instead of out your penis during ejaculation (retrograde ejaculation).

Genetic tests.

When sperm concentration is extremely low, there could be a genetic cause. A blood test can reveal whether there are subtle changes in the Y chromosome — signs of a genetic abnormality. Genetic testing might be ordered to diagnose various congenital or inherited syndromes.

Testicular biopsy.

This test involves removing samples from the testicle with a needle. If the results of the testicular biopsy show that sperm production is normal your problem is likely caused by a blockage or another problem with sperm transport.

Specialized sperm function tests.

A number of tests can be used to check how well your sperm survive after ejaculation, how well they can penetrate an egg, and whether there’s any problem attaching to the egg. These tests aren’t often used and usually don’t significantly change recommendations for treatment.

Allopathic Treatment for infertility among Men

Often, an exact cause of infertility can’t be found. Even if an exact cause isn’t clear, the doctor might be able to recommend treatments or procedures that will lead to conception.

In cases of infertility, it’s recommended that the female partner also be checked. There may be specific treatments recommended for other partner too. Or, patient may learn that proceeding with assisted reproductive techniques is appropriate in his situation.

Treatments for male infertility include:

• Surgery

For example, a varicocele can often be surgically corrected or an obstructed vas deferens repaired. Prior vasectomies can be reversed. In cases where no sperm are present in the ejaculate, sperm can often be retrieved directly from the testicles or epididymis using sperm retrieval techniques.

• Treating infections

Antibiotic treatment might cure an infection of the reproductive tract, but doesn’t always restore fertility.

• Treatments for sexual intercourse problems

Medication or counseling can help improve fertility in conditions such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.

• Hormone treatments and medications

Your doctor might recommend hormone replacement or medications in cases where infertility is caused by high or low levels of certain hormones or problems with the way the body uses hormones.

• Assisted reproductive technology (ART)

  

ART treatments involve obtaining sperm through normal ejaculation, surgical extraction or from donor.

individuals, depending on your specific case and wishes. The sperm are then inserted into the female genital tract or used to perform in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection.

When treatment doesn’t work

In rare cases, male fertility problems can’t be treated, the doctor might suggest that he and his spouse consider using sperm from a donor or adopting a child.

Homeopathic Treatment for Infertility Among Men

There are multiple treatment options available for male infertility.

• Firstly, doctors advise making lifestyle changes such as:

1. Quit smoking and chewing tobacco.
2. Quit alcohol.
3. Control diabetes.
4. Manage weight, etc.

• If there is an infection in the reproductive tract, homeopathic treatment should be suggested.
• For addressing sexual intercourse problems, such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, medication or counseling can help.
• Problems such as azoospermia (zero sperm count), or oligospermia (very few sperm are produced). The latter can be caused by a blockage in the testes.

This can be addressed by a technique called testicular sperm extraction, in which doctors retrieve sperm from the testicles.

• Advancements in Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART) have also helped.
• Among the most popular ART techniques are:

1. Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
2. In vitro fertilization (IVF)
3. Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
