Infertility is not just a female concern—male factors contribute to nearly 40–50% of all infertility cases. Understanding and addressing male infertility is an important step in the journey to parenthood. The encouraging news is that many causes of male infertility are treatable with proper evaluation and timely medical care.
Here’s a comprehensive look at male infertility treatment options available in Ahmedabad and what every couple should know when starting their journey to parenthood.
- Accurate diagnosis: The first step to effective treatment.
- Lifestyle and Medical counseling.
- Treatment for varicocele.
- Hormonal therapy.
- Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART).
- Surgical sperm retrieval techniques.
- Sperm Cryopreservation (Freezing)
- Donor sperm programs.
- Genetic counseling and Testing.
- Psychological support and Counseling.
1. Accurate diagnosis: The first step to effective treatment
Before beginning any treatment, it’s essential to diagnose the root cause.
- Semen analysis to assess sperm count, motility, and morphology.
- Hormonal testing for testosterone and FSH levels.
- Scrotal ultrasound to detect varicocele or blockages.
- Genetic testing, if necessary.
- Sperm DNA fragmentation test for advanced assessment.
A clear diagnosis helps us tailor the most effective treatment plan.
2. Lifestyle and Medical counseling
In some cases, simple lifestyle changes and medications can improve sperm quality:
- Nutritional counseling to address deficiencies.
- Weight management for better hormonal balance.
- Avoidance of smoking, alcohol, and heat exposure.
- Medications and supplements (like antioxidants) to improve sperm production.
This is often the first-line treatment for mild male factor infertility.
3. Treatment for varicocele
A varicocele is a common and treatable cause of male infertility. Our clinic offers:
- Microsurgical varicocelectomy – a minimally invasive procedure to improve sperm parameters.
- Non-surgical options for selected cases.
- Regular follow-ups to monitor sperm improvement post-surgery.
Treating varicocele can significantly increase the chances of natural conception or improve IVF success rates.
4. Hormonal therapy
Hormonal imbalances can affect sperm production. Based on diagnostic reports, we may suggest:
- Clomiphene citrate or gonadotropins to stimulate sperm production.
- Testosterone therapy, only in specific cases (not typically used when trying to conceive).
- Ongoing hormone monitoring during treatment.
This is especially beneficial for hypogonadotropic hypogonadism or men with low FSH/LH levels.
5. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)
When natural methods or medications are not enough, ART can provide hope:
a) Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)
- Recommended for mild male factor infertility.
- Washed and concentrated sperm are inserted directly into the uterus.
- Timed with ovulation for optimal success.
b) In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
- Eggs and sperm are combined in a lab for fertilization.
- Useful when sperm count or motility is low.
c) Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)
- A single sperm is injected directly into the egg.
- Ideal for severe male infertility or previous IVF failures.
ICSI has revolutionized male infertility treatment, offering hope in even the most complex cases.
6. Surgical sperm retrieval techniques
For men with zero sperm in ejaculate (azoospermia), we offer advanced procedures:
- TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration).
- PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration).
- Micro-TESE (Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction).
These procedures retrieve viable sperm directly from the testicles or epididymis for use in ICSI.
7. Sperm Cryopreservation (Freezing)
For men undergoing cancer treatment, traveling frequently, or those with declining sperm quality:
- Sperm freezing is a safe and effective way to preserve fertility.
- Can be used for future IUI or IVF/ICSI cycles.
A proactive option for fertility preservation.
8. Donor sperm programs
When sperm retrieval or improvement is not possible, donor sperm may be considered:
- Only used after thorough counseling and consent.
- Carefully screened donors to ensure genetic and infectious safety.
- Matching based on physical and ethnic characteristics.
This is often a last-resort option when no viable sperm is available.
9. Genetic counseling and Testing
In some men with azoospermia or severe oligospermia, genetic abnormalities may be involved:
- Karyotyping and Y-chromosome microdeletion tests.
- Helps assess the feasibility of sperm retrieval.
- Offers clarity on potential risks to future offspring.
Our expert team ensures thorough counseling before making reproductive decisions.
10. Psychological support and Counseling
