Male Infertility

It is but natural that you may feel overwhelmed when you and your partner are trying to conceive and that you fail. In case you have learned that your husband has to cope with infertility, you should realise you are not the only one, and there are various directions to be taken.

Before we get into What Male Infertility is, Let Us Know What it means.

Causes of male infertility are usually due to low sperm count, poor sperm motility or abnormal sperm shape. Hormonal imbalances, obstructions, or health problems might also cause it. The great news is that? Most of these causes can be managed through medical assistance and modification of lifestyle.

So, What Can You Do?

1. Start with a Fertility Specialist

Make an appointment with a fertility expert. Our qualified team of doctors at Mannat Fertility will take both of you through some diagnostic procedures, which may include semen analysis and hormonal assessment, which will help to determine the cause.

2. Lifestyle Modifications

Make your partner:

  • Reduce stress
  • Have a nutritionally balanced diet
  • Exercise regularly
  • Do not smoke and drink alcohol
  • Sleep well

These simple measures may substantially increase the health of sperm.

3. Explore Medical Treatments

Your doctor may suggest the following based on the results of the tests:

  • Treatment with hormones (in case of a hormonal imbalance)
  • Antibiotics (in the case of infection)
  • Surgery (of varicocele or blockages)
  1. Consider Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

Although natural conception may be a challenge, high-tech fertility therapies may be of assistance:

  • IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): Sperm is harvested, washed and implanted directly into the uterus.
  • IVF ( In Vitro Fertilisation) Fertilisation of eggs is done in the lab with sperm, and the embryo is implanted into the uterus.
  • ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): An egg is injected with a healthy single sperm- the method of choice in the event of very low sperm count or motility.

5. Donor Sperm or Sperm Freezing

Where there is no sperm or genetic risk, donor sperm is safe to use. Couples can also select sperm freezing in case the treatment can alter fertility.

Emotional Support Is Just As Important

Infertility affects the two partners emotionally. You can be frustrated, anxious, or sad. Help each other in this process, and do not be afraid to attend counselling or support groups. At Mannat Fertility, we also provide counselling to enable you to deal with your feelings.

Final Thoughts

You do not have to suffer infertility as a result of your desire to become parents. Most couples can overcome male infertility with the assistance of modern medical facilities, and when given proper support.

When you want to take the next step or you just need a better understanding, we are here to help you.
