Infertility is an emotional and physical challenge that affects many couples worldwide. It is often more commonly associated with women, but the reality is that Male Infertility is also a significant cause of difficulties in achieving pregnancy. In this blog, we will explore various options for couples seeking to overcome this obstacle and bring their baby into the world.
What is Male Infertility?
It is defined as a man's inability to achieve pregnancy in his partner after a year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. It can be caused by a variety of factors, ranging from issues with sperm quality to obstructions in the reproductive ducts.
The first step inaddressing Male Infertility is undergoing appropriate tests and diagnostics. Semen analysis is the primary tool for assessing the quality and quantity of sperm. Additional tests, such as hormonal analysis and genetic testing, may also be conducted to identify potential causes.
Primary Issues
The Male Infertility is a complex problem that may be related to various factors. Here are some of the most common difficulties:
- Oligospermia: Low sperm concentration in seminal fluid (15 million per ml).
- Teratozoospermia: Abnormalities in the shape of sperm, whether in the head, neck, or tail.
- Astenozoospermia Seminal issues related to sperm mobility, hindering their proper movement through the vaginal cavity to reach the egg.
- Azoospermia: Absence of sperm.
Your Path to Parenthood
The assisted reproduction is a set of medical techniques that help couples achieve pregnancy when facing difficulties conceiving naturally. In the case of Male Infertility, these techniques can play a crucial role in overcoming specific obstacles that may be affecting a man's ability to father a child.
The In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is effective in cases of low sperm concentration, sperm motility issues, or abnormal morphology. Within IVF, a technique called Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI). involves the direct injection of a sperm into the egg, allowing for the selection of healthy sperm with higher fertilization capacity.
When sperm quality is very low or none is present in seminal fluid, sperm donation may be an option.
