It may include;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Inadequate hormonal support.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Poor health.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Drug usage and excessive alcohol intake.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Activities like horse riding.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Some seizure medications.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Celiac disease.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Smoking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Testicular Factors<\/h4>\n<p>In this type, the problem lies in the testes themselves. It leads to the\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 formation of decreased number and inferior quality sperms which fails to fertilize the ovum.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Varicocele.<\/li>\n<li>Old age.<\/li>\n<li>Klinefelter syndrome.<\/li>\n<li>Hydrocele.<\/li>\n<li>Undescended testis.<\/li>\n<li>Testicular tumour.<\/li>\n<li>Radiation therapy to the testicles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4>Post Testicular Factors<\/h4>\n<p>In this type, the hormones and the testicles have normal function. But the transport of the sperms from the testicular sac to the ejaculatory duct is hampered.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Vas deferens obstruction.<\/li>\n<li>Absent vas deferens.<\/li>\n<li>Infection of prostate.<\/li>\n<li>Retrograde ejaculation.<\/li>\n<li>Impotence.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Male Infertility Diagnosis<\/h3>\n<h4>Physical Examination<\/h4>\n<p>The male infertility specialist examines the patient thoroughly. A detailed history including the exposure to drugs, family history for any genetic disorder, history of radiation exposure, and such are taken. The presence of varicocele is also checked.<\/p>\n<h4>Sperm Analysis<\/h4>\n<p>Sperm sample is collected and checked for the quality and quantity. Their count, shape and size, and motility are checked. The problem in any of the factors may result in infertility.<\/p>\n<h4>Blood Tests<\/h4>\n<p>Various blood tests are conducted to check for the levels of sex hormones which are essential for the growth of sperms.<\/p>\n<h4>Sonography<\/h4>\n<p>Sonography of the scrotum is conducted. It is useful in diagnosing the presence of abnormal growth of the testis or any <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Obstruction\">obstruction<\/a> in the path of the sperms.<\/p>\n<h4>Biopsy of the Testis<\/h4>\n<p>A piece of the testis is removed and examined under a microspore to check for the presence of sperm.<\/p>\n<h3>Male Infertility Treatment Recommended by Infertility Specialists<\/h3>\n<h4>Surgical<\/h4>\n<p>Varicocele is the most common surgically treatable cause of male infertility. Surgical reduction of varicocele may result in an increased probability of conception.<\/p>\n<h4>Infections<\/h4>\n<p>Successful treatment of infections that affect the scrotum will lead to an increase healthy sperm production.<\/p>\n<h4>Fertility Medications<\/h4>\n<p>Some medications are prescribed to increase the rate of formation of sperms in the testis. These are given to males who have decreased sperm count.<\/p>\n<h4>Hormonal Therapy<\/h4>\n<p>Hormones help to increase the sperm count as well as their quality.<\/p>\n<h4>Sperm Retrieval Techniques<\/h4>\n<p>Procedures such as <a href=\"https:\/\/hegdefertility.com\/tesa\/\">TESA<\/a>, MESA, and PESA are used to extract sperm from the testes. This will help if the problem is with the sperm transport.<\/p>\n<h3>IVF Treatment in IVF Centres<\/h3>\n<p>If all the other methods fail, procedures such as <a href=\"https:\/\/hegdefertility.com\/icsi\/\">ICSI<\/a>, or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection, can be used to fertilize the ovum and result in a conceptus.<\/p>\n<p>Do you suffer from male infertility?
