What is Male Infertility?
Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female. This issue can be due to such as low sperm production, poor sperm function, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Health issues, lifestyle choices, and environmental factors can also contribute to male infertility.
Common Causes of Male Infertility:
- Low Sperm Count: Fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen.
- Poor Sperm Motility: Sperm that can’t swim well.
- Abnormal Sperm: Sperm with an unusual shape or structure.
- Blocked Tubes: Pathways for sperm are blocked.
- Health Issues: Conditions like diabetes, infections, or hormonal imbalances.
- Lifestyle Factors: Smoking, alcohol use, drug use, obesity, and stress.
Solutions for Male Infertility:
1. Lifestyle Changes: Adopting a healthier lifestyle can improve sperm quality. This includes quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy weight.
2. Medications: Hormonal treatments and other medications can address issues like hormonal imbalances or infections.
3. Surgery: Surgical procedures can correct blockages or repair varicoceles (swollen veins in the scrotum).
4. Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART):
– Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Sperm is placed directly into the woman’s uterus.
– In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Sperm and eggs are combined outside the body in a lab, and the resulting embryos are implanted into the woman’s uterus.
– Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI): A single sperm is injected directly into an egg to assist fertilization.
5. Counselling and Support: Emotional support and counselling can help couples cope with the stress and emotional challenges of infertility.
