Common Causes of Male Infertility

Understanding the underlying cause is essential for effective treatment

🔬

Sperm Production Issues

Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology can significantly reduce the chances of natural conception.

⚗️

Hormonal Imbalances

Imbalances in testosterone, FSH, or LH can disrupt sperm production and overall reproductive function.

🚧

Structural Blockages

Obstructions in the vas deferens or epididymis can prevent sperm from being present in the ejaculate.

🧬

Genetic Factors

Chromosomal abnormalities such as Klinefelter syndrome or Y-chromosome microdeletions can affect fertility.

🏃

Lifestyle Factors

Smoking, excessive alcohol, obesity, stress, and environmental toxin exposure can impair sperm quality.

🏥

Medical Conditions

Varicocele, infections, undescended testes, and certain medications can impact male reproductive health.

Diagnostic Tests

Our comprehensive male fertility evaluation includes

1

Semen Analysis

Complete evaluation of sperm count, motility, morphology, volume, and other critical parameters.

2

Hormone Panel

Blood tests measuring testosterone, FSH, LH, prolactin, and thyroid hormones to assess hormonal health.

3

Scrotal Ultrasound

Imaging to detect varicocele, structural abnormalities, or obstructions in the reproductive tract.

4

DNA Fragmentation Test

Advanced test measuring DNA damage in sperm, which can affect fertilisation and embryo development.

5

Genetic Screening

Karyotyping and Y-chromosome microdeletion testing to identify genetic causes of infertility.

6

Post-Ejaculation Urinalysis

Test to check for retrograde ejaculation, where sperm enters the bladder instead of exiting the body.
