Male Infertility - Causes and Diagnosis

Reproduction is a simple and natural experience for most couples. But reports shows that in case of some couples it is very difficult to conceive. Approximately 15 percent of couples are infertile. It means they are not able to conceive a child even though they have had frequent, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year or longer.In about half of these couples the problems are arising due to male infertility.


      This could be because of low sperm production, abnormal sperm function or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Also illnesses, injuries, chronic health problems, lifestyle choices and other factors may lead to male infertility. However the main causes of male infertility can be classified in to either problems in manufacturing sperm or problems in getting sperm outside of the body (ejaculation of viable sperm).

The diagnosis starts with comprehensive semen analysis in order to analyse the sperm problems. This test will evaluate the semen against fertility standards. A further evaluation involving a blood karyotype will further assist to determine if there is a genetic abnormality in the male causing lack of sperm manufacturing. After a thorough history and physical examination of the male partner, the specialist might perform an ultrasound of the testicle, a dye test (vasogram) of the male reproductive tract, and possibly a biopsy of the testicle.
      

Treatment of male fertility can differ with respect to condition of the patient. Treatment option varies from intrauterine inseminations to in vitro fertilization (IVF) with intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
