Varunam Super Speciality Hospital

Male Infertility

At our clinic, we understand that infertility can be a deeply personal and emotional challenge for couples hoping to start a family. Male infertility is more common than many realize and accounts for nearly 40-50% of infertility cases worldwide. Our specialized Male Infertility Services focus on accurate diagnosis, advanced treatment, and compassionate care to support your journey to parenthood.

Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse for a year or more. This condition can stem from problems in sperm production, function, or delivery.

Common Causes of Male Infertility

  • Low sperm production (Oligospermia)

  • Abnormal sperm function or motility

  • Blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm

  • Hormonal imbalances

  • Genetic disorders

  • Varicocele (swelling of veins in the scrotum)

  • Infections affecting sperm health

  • Lifestyle factors: smoking, alcohol, drug use, obesity, and stress

Symptoms of Male Infertility

Often, male infertility shows no obvious signs until conception is difficult. However, some men may experience:

  • Difficulty achieving conception despite regular intercourse

  • Problems with sexual function (e.g., reduced libido, erectile dysfunction)

  • Pain, swelling, or lumps in the testicular area

  • Decreased facial or body hair (signs of hormonal imbalance)

  • Abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia)

  • Lower than normal sperm count

Treatment Options for Male Infertility:

Our clinic provides a wide range of evidence-based treatments, including:

  • Medication to treat hormonal imbalances or infections

  • Lifestyle modification counseling

  • Surgical solutions for varicocele repair or blockage removal

  • Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART):

    • Intrauterine Insemination (IUI)

    • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)

    • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI)

  • Sperm retrieval techniques for men with zero sperm count

Precautions & Prevention

While not all causes can be prevented, some proactive measures can significantly improve fertility health:

  • Avoid smoking, excessive alcohol, and recreational drug use

  • Maintain a healthy weight and balanced diet

  • Manage stress through exercise, yoga, or relaxation techniques

  • Avoid prolonged exposure to heat (hot tubs, saunas)

  • Wear protective gear to avoid injury to the groin area

  • Treat infections early

  • Limit exposure to harmful chemicals and radiation

  • Practice safe sex to prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs)
