Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female. It can result from low sperm production, abnormal sperm function, or blockages that prevent sperm delivery. Fortunately, modern medicine offers a wide range of effective treatments.

Infertility affects around 15% of couples globally, and in approximately 50% of cases, male factor infertility plays a significant role. Male infertility is defined as the inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner after at least one year of regular, unprotected intercourse. It can result from low sperm production, abnormal sperm function, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm.

Understanding the causes, diagnosis, and treatment options available for male infertility is crucial in guiding couples toward the best course of action. This article provides a thorough overview of male infertility treatment, covering the medical, surgical, and lifestyle interventions available to improve fertility outcomes. There are multiple potential causes of male infertility, which can be broadly categorized into pre-testicular, testicular, and post-testicular factors.

Common Causes of Male Infertility

  • Low sperm count or poor sperm motility

  • Varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum)

  • Hormonal imbalances (low testosterone, FSH, LH)

  • Erectile dysfunction or ejaculation issues

  • Genetic disorders

  • Lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, obesity, stress)

  • Infections and STDs

  • Blockages in the reproductive tract

Diagnosis

  • Semen analysis

  • Hormone testing

  • Scrotal ultrasound

  • Genetic testing

  • Testicular biopsy (in some cases)

Treatment Options

1. Medical Treatments

  • Hormone Therapy: To balance hormone levels (e.g., for hypogonadism).

  • Antibiotics: If infections are contributing to infertility.

  • Medication for Sexual Function: To treat ED or ejaculation problems.

2. Surgical Treatments

  • Varicocelectomy: Surgery to repair varicocele.

  • Vasectomy Reversal: Restores fertility in men who had a vasectomy.

  • Sperm Retrieval Procedures: TESA, TESE, or PESA for assisted reproduction.

3. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART)

  • IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): Sperm is placed directly in the uterus.

  • IVF (In Vitro Fertilization): Sperm fertilizes the egg in a lab setting.

  • ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): A single sperm is injected into an egg — ideal for low sperm count or motility.

Lifestyle and Supportive Therapies

  • Nutritional supplements (zinc, folic acid, antioxidants)

  • Weight management and exercise

  • Reducing alcohol, tobacco, and stress

  • Counseling and support for emotional well-being
