Male Fertility Can Lifestyle Changes Really Improve Sperm Quality?

3 months ago

We are anxious because multiple fertility clinics have given different advice regarding our male infertility. Some suggest IUI, others IVF-ICSI, and some recommend surgery first. How do couples usually decide which treatment plan is best, and is there a standard approach for male infertility?

Deciding on a treatment plan often involves considering the severity of sperm abnormalities, female partner fertility, age, and past treatment outcomes. Standard protocols usually start with the least invasive option, such as lifestyle changes or IUI for mild male factor infertility. If these fail, IVF or ICSI may be recommended. Consulting a trusted fertility specialist who evaluates the couple holistically, reviews all test results, and discusses risks, benefits, and success rates is key. Emotional counseling helps couples cope with conflicting advice and make informed decisions.
