What Causes Infertility in Men?
Male infertility can arise from various underlying causes. Hormonal imbalances, including low testosterone levels, can disrupt sperm production and function. Structural abnormalities, such as blockages in the reproductive system or varicoceles, can impede the transport of sperm. Genetic disorders, such as Klinefelter syndrome, can affect sperm production or quality. Infections, such as sexually transmitted infections or reproductive tract infections, can damage sperm or block sperm passage. Lifestyle factors like smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, drug use, exposure to toxins, and obesity can also contribute to infertility in men. Certain medical conditions, including diabetes, hypertension, and autoimmune disorders, may affect fertility as well.
What are Common Male Infertility Problems?
Low Sperm Count
Insufficient quantity of sperm in the semen, which can affect fertility.
Poor Sperm Motility
Reduced ability of sperm to move and reach the egg for fertilization.
Abnormal Sperm Morphology
Irregular shape and structure of sperm, impacting their ability to fertilize an egg.
General Symptoms of Male Infertility
Male infertility may not always present noticeable symptoms. However, some signs may indicate an underlying issue. These include difficulty achieving or maintaining an erection, problems with ejaculation, decreased sexual desire or libido, pain or swelling in the testicles, abnormal semen volume, consistency, or colour. Hormonal imbalances may manifest as changes in hair growth, reduced muscle mass, or breast enlargement. It's important to note that experiencing these symptoms does not necessarily confirm male infertility, as further medical evaluation and a diagnostic male fertility test are required to determine the cause. Consulting a fertility specialist can help identify and address potential fertility concerns.
Male Infertility Diagnosis
Male infertility diagnosis involves a comprehensive assessment of medical history, physical examination, and specialized tests. Semen analysis is a fundamental test to evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology. Additional evaluations may include hormone testing, genetic screening, imaging studies, and testicular biopsy. Accurate diagnosis enables tailored treatment strategies for couples facing fertility challenges. Some of the common Male Infertility Tests are:
- Semen analysis: Assessing sperm count, motility, and morphology.
- Sperm DNA Fragmentation Index: Evaluating DNA integrity within sperm.
- Post-Ejaculation Urinalysis: Examining urine after ejaculation for retrograde ejaculation.
- Physical examination: Assessing the reproductive organs for abnormalities.
- Analysis of medical history: Reviewing medical conditions, medications, and lifestyle factors.
