Complications from fertility treatments in men are generally rare when performed under specialist supervision. Surgical procedures like varicocele repair carry small risks of infection or minor injury, while repeated injections or hormonal therapy are closely monitored to prevent long-term side effects. Semen analysis and hormonal monitoring before, during, and after treatment ensure early detection of potential problems. Specialists follow standardized protocols, provide clear instructions, and use minimally invasive techniques whenever possible to maximize safety and treatment effectiveness. Regular follow-up and patient education are essential components of safe fertility management.
