Causes of Male Infertility:

Male infertility can stem from various factors, including:

• **Sperm Production Problems:** Low sperm count (oligospermia), no sperm (azoospermia), poor sperm motility, or abnormal sperm shape.
• **Sperm Delivery Issues:** Blockages in the tubes that carry sperm (e.g., due to infection, injury, or vasectomy), or ejaculation problems.
• **Hormonal Imbalances:** Low testosterone, or issues with pituitary hormones that regulate sperm production.
• **Varicocele:** Enlarged veins in the scrotum, which can affect sperm quality and production.
• **Genetic Defects:** Chromosomal abnormalities or specific gene mutations.
• **Infections:** Past or present infections of the reproductive tract.
• **Lifestyle Factors:** Smoking, excessive alcohol, certain medications, obesity, exposure to toxins, high scrotal temperatures.

Diagnosis of Male Infertility:

A comprehensive evaluation typically includes:

• **Detailed Medical History & Physical Examination:** Including sexual health, past illnesses, surgeries, and medications.
• **Semen Analysis:** A fundamental test to evaluate sperm count, motility, morphology, and other parameters.
• **Hormone Testing:** Blood tests to check levels of testosterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin.
• **Scrotal Ultrasound:** To visualize the testicles and identify conditions like varicocele or obstructions.
• **Genetic Testing:** Karyotyping or Y-chromosome microdeletion testing if suspected.
• **Post-Ejaculation Urinalysis:** To check for retrograde ejaculation.
• **Testicular Biopsy (in specific cases):** To differentiate between obstructive and non-obstructive azoospermia.

Advanced Male Infertility Treatment Options:

Dr. Madhukar Gupta offers a range of cutting-edge treatments tailored to the underlying cause:

• **Medical & Hormonal Therapy:**
  • For hormonal imbalances, infections, or to improve sperm production.
  • Medications to stimulate sperm production or treat underlying conditions.
• **Varicocele Repair (Varicocelectomy):**
  • Surgical correction of varicocele, often performed microscopically (microsurgical varicocelectomy) for optimal outcomes and faster recovery, which can significantly improve semen parameters and natural conception rates.
• **Surgical Sperm Retrieval Procedures (for Azoospermia):**
  • **TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction):** Surgical removal of a small piece of testicular tissue to extract sperm.
  • **Micro-TESE (Microdissection Testicular Sperm Extraction):** A more advanced procedure using a microscope to identify areas of sperm production, leading to higher sperm retrieval rates and less tissue damage.
  • **PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration):** Sperm aspirated directly from the epididymis using a needle.
  • **MESA (Microscopic Epididymal Sperm Aspiration):** Sperm retrieved from the epididymis under a microscope.
  • These retrieved sperm can then be used in assisted reproductive techniques like ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) with IVF.
• **Correction of Obstructive Azoospermia:**
  • Surgical repair of blockages in the vas deferens or epididymis, such as vasovasostomy (vasectomy reversal) or epididymovasostomy.
• **Lifestyle and Counseling:**
  • Guidance on lifestyle modifications to improve fertility.
  • Psychological support for couples coping with infertility.
