Male Infertility Evaluation & Treatment in Gachibowli, Hyderabad
Fertility evaluation is often thought of as focusing mainly on the woman, but male factors contribute to nearly half of all infertility cases. Dr. Durga Vytla includes a comprehensive evaluation of male fertility factors as an essential part of the fertility workup so that both partners receive a complete assessment from the beginning.
What causes male infertility?
Male infertility can result from several factors, including low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, hormonal imbalances, infections, varicocele, structural problems, genetic conditions, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol use, obesity, stress, or excessive heat exposure. In many couples, a semen analysis is the first step in identifying whether male factors are contributing to difficulty in conceiving.
What a semen analysis checks
A semen analysis evaluates sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), semen volume, and other important parameters related to male fertility. It is usually one of the first tests recommended because it is simple, non-invasive, and provides valuable information that helps guide further evaluation and treatment if needed.
Male infertility evaluation
Hormonal testing
Ultrasound evaluation
Assessment for varicocele or obstruction
Genetic testing in selected cases
Review of medical history, medications, lifestyle, and fertility goals
This detailed evaluation helps identify the underlying cause and determine the most appropriate treatment plan.
Treatment options
Treatment depends on the specific cause of male infertility. Options may include lifestyle modification, nutritional support, treatment of infections, hormonal therapy when indicated, surgical correction of certain conditions such as varicocele, and assisted reproductive techniques such as IUI, IVF, or ICSI. ICSI is particularly useful in selected male-factor infertility cases because a single sperm is injected directly into the egg during the IVF process.
Surgical sperm retrieval in severe male infertility and azoospermia
In some men, no sperm are seen in the semen sample, a condition called azoospermia. This may occur because sperm production is severely reduced or because a blockage prevents sperm from reaching the semen. In selected cases, sperm can be obtained directly from the testes or epididymis through surgical sperm retrieval procedures such as TESA, PESA, TESE, or micro-TESE.
The retrieved sperm can often be used for ICSI treatment, allowing many couples with severe male infertility or azoospermia to pursue biological parenthood. The choice of procedure depends on the underlying cause of azoospermia and is planned after detailed evaluation of the male partner.
