Home » Male Infertility
Male infertility refers to the inability of a man to achieve pregnancy in a fertile female partner despite regular, unprotected intercourse over an extended period. It is characterized by abnormalities in sperm production, function, or delivery, which hinder the fertilization of a female egg and subsequent conception.
Male infertility can stem from a multitude of factors, including:
A diminished quantity of sperm cells in the ejaculate, known as oligospermia, can impair fertility.
Factors such as abnormal morphology (size and shape) or reduced motility (movement) hinder sperm’s ability to reach and fertilize the egg.
Disruptions in hormonal levels, particularly testosterone, can impact sperm production and function.
Inherited conditions, such as Klinefelter syndrome or Y chromosome microdeletions, may contribute to infertility.
Factors like tobacco use, excessive alcohol consumption, drug abuse, exposure to toxins, and overheating of the testicles can adversely affect sperm production and quality.

Diagnostic tests for male infertility aim to assess sperm count, quality, and reproductive function. These may include:
Evaluates sperm count, motility, morphology (shape), and other parameters crucial for fertility.
Measures hormone levels, including testosterone, estrogen, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin, to identify hormonal imbalances impacting fertility.
Identifies genetic abnormalities or chromosomal disorders that may contribute to infertility.
Ultrasound or other imaging modalities may be used to assess the reproductive organs for structural abnormalities or blockages.
In certain cases, additional tests such as sperm DNA fragmentation analysis or sperm function tests may be warranted to further evaluate fertility potential.
