Male Infertility

Male infertility is a common issue that affects many couples trying to conceive. It is defined as the inability to achieve pregnancy after one year of regular, unprotected intercourse due to male factors. Dr. Kanchi Khurana, a highly skilled fertility specialist, specializes in diagnosing and treating male infertility, offering personalized care to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood.

Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to contribute to conception due to issues with sperm production, function, or delivery. It accounts for approximately 40-50% of infertility cases among couples. Common causes include low sperm count, poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm morphology, or blockages in the reproductive tract.

Male infertility can result from a variety of factors, including:

Medical Causes

• Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum that affect sperm production.
• Infections: Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or other infections that damage the reproductive organs.
• Hormonal Imbalances: Low testosterone or other hormonal issues.
• Ejaculation Issues: Conditions like retrograde ejaculation, where semen enters the bladder instead of exiting the penis.
• Genetic Disorders: Conditions like Klinefelter syndrome or Y chromosome deletions.

Lifestyle and Environmental Factors

• Smoking and Alcohol: Both can negatively impact sperm quality and quantity.
• Obesity: Excess weight can affect hormone levels and sperm production.
• Heat Exposure: Frequent use of hot tubs, saunas, or tight clothing can reduce sperm production.
• Toxins: Exposure to pesticides, heavy metals, or radiation.

Other Factors

• Age: Sperm quality declines with age, particularly after 40.
• Medications: Certain drugs, such as anabolic steroids or chemotherapy, can affect fertility.
• Stress: Chronic stress can interfere with hormone production and sperm quality.

Dr. Kanchi Khurana uses advanced diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of male infertility, including:

• Semen Analysis: Evaluates sperm count, motility, and morphology.
• Hormone Testing: Measures levels of testosterone and other hormones.
• Ultrasound: Checks for blockages or abnormalities in the reproductive organs.
• Genetic Testing: Identifies genetic disorders that may affect fertility.
• Testicular Biopsy: In rare cases, a small tissue sample is taken to assess sperm production.
