Male Infertility : Causes, Symptoms, Diagnosis & Treatment Options
2 months ago
My wife and I have been unable to conceive, and the doctor suggested that male infertility could be a factor. Could you explain what causes male infertility and how it is diagnosed and treated?

Male infertility refers to issues that affect sperm production, quality, or delivery. Common causes include low sperm count, poor motility, abnormal morphology, hormonal imbalances, varicocele, infections, lifestyle factors, or genetic conditions.
Diagnosis is usually done through semen analysis, hormone testing, physical examination, and imaging if required. Treatment depends on the cause and may include medications, hormonal therapy, lifestyle changes, surgical procedures (such as varicocele repair), or assisted reproductive techniques like IUI or IVF. Early evaluation and appropriate treatment can significantly improve fertility outcomes in many cases.
