Reviving Hope: Male Infertility Treatment at Urovita Hospital

Male infertility is a condition in which a man is unable to produce enough sperm or sperm that are healthy enough to fertilize an egg. This can make it difficult or impossible to conceive a child.

There are many causes of male infertility, including:

• Varicocele: A varicose vein in the scrotum that can damage the testicles.
• Undescended testicles: Testicles that do not descend into the scrotum properly during development.
• Blockages in the reproductive tract: These can prevent sperm from traveling from the testicles to the penis.
• Infections: Infections of the reproductive tract can damage sperm.
• Medications: Some medications, such as chemotherapy drugs, can damage sperm.
• Age: Male fertility declines with age.
• Environmental factors: Exposure to certain chemicals or radiation can damage sperm.

Symptoms of male infertility

There are no specific symptoms of male infertility. In fact, many men with male infertility have no symptoms at all. However, some men may experience:

Diagnosis of male infertility

The diagnosis of male infertility is made by a doctor. The doctor will perform a physical exam and ask about your medical history. You may also need to have some tests, such as:

• Semen analysis: This test measures the number, shape, and motility of your sperm.
• Hormonal testing: This test measures the levels of hormones that are involved in sperm production.
• Genetic testing: This test can look for genetic disorders that can cause male infertility.
• Imaging tests: These tests can look for blockages in the reproductive tract.

Treatment for male infertility

The treatment for male infertility depends on the cause of the problem. Some of the treatment options available include:

• Medication: Medications can be used to treat some of the causes of male infertility, such as infections or hormonal imbalances.
• Surgery: Surgery can be used to repair blockages in the reproductive tract or to remove a varicocele.
• Assisted reproductive technology (ART): ART procedures, such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), can help couples who have been unable to conceive naturally.

The success rate of treatment for male infertility

The success rate of treatment for male infertility depends on the cause of the problem and the type of treatment used. In general, the success rate of ART procedures is higher than the success rate of other treatments.
