Male Infertility
Male Infertility Treatment
Comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for the male half of the fertility equation.
What is Male Infertility Treatment?
Male factor infertility contributes to approximately 40\u201350% of all cases of subfertility. At Ova IVF, we take a comprehensive, evidence-based approach to male reproductive health. From detailed semen analysis and hormonal profiling to advanced sperm function tests and surgical sperm retrieval, our team works closely with urologists and andrologists to identify and address the root cause of male subfertility.
Who is this for?
- Men with abnormal semen analysis (low count, motility, or morphology)
- Men with azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate)
- Men with hormonal imbalances affecting sperm production
- Men with varicocele or other anatomical factors
- Couples with unexplained infertility where male factor has not been fully investigated
- Men who have had previous vasectomy or genital surgery
Key Benefits
Step-by-Step Procedure
A clear, transparent walkthrough of every stage of your Male Infertility treatment at Ova IVF.
Detailed Semen Analysis
A comprehensive semen analysis assesses sperm count, motility, morphology, volume, and pH according to WHO 2021 reference values. A repeat test may be requested to confirm results.
Hormonal Profile
Blood tests measure FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin, and thyroid hormones to identify endocrine causes of impaired sperm production.
Scrotal Ultrasound
Ultrasound evaluation of the testes and epididymis detects varicocele, obstruction, or structural abnormalities.
Advanced Sperm Function Tests
DNA fragmentation index (DFI), sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA), and reactive oxygen species (ROS) testing may be performed to assess sperm quality beyond standard parameters.
Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
Based on findings, a personalised treatment plan is formulated. This may include lifestyle modification, medical therapy, surgical correction (varicocelectomy), or assisted reproduction (IUI, IVF/ICSI, TESA/PESA).
Medical or Surgical Treatment
Hormonal therapy, antioxidant supplementation, or surgical correction of varicocele or obstruction may improve sperm parameters before ART.
Assisted Reproduction
For severe male factor infertility, ICSI using ejaculated or surgically retrieved sperm (TESA/PESA) offers excellent outcomes even with very few sperm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can male infertility be treated without IVF?
Yes. Many cases of male infertility respond to medical treatment, lifestyle changes, or surgical correction. IVF/ICSI is reserved for cases where other treatments are unlikely to succeed.
What is a normal sperm count?
According to WHO 2021 guidelines, a normal sperm concentration is 16 million/mL or above, with total motility above 42% and normal morphology above 4% (Kruger strict criteria).
Is azoospermia treatable?
Obstructive azoospermia (blocked ducts) can often be treated surgically or by sperm retrieval (TESA/PESA) for use in ICSI. Non-obstructive azoospermia requires micro-TESE and specialist evaluation.
