Infertility and Men- What You Should Know
2

• Infertility has been thought of as the womans
  problem. But with changing times, it turns out
  that men are equally infertile as women. About
  1/3rd of every three cases are because of the man
  only. So, infertility is defined in clinical
  terms as the inability for men and women to
  achieve pregnancy even after 1 year of trying
  without using any birth controls. Studies show
  that after a year of unprotected sex, about 15
  percent of couples are not able to conceive, and
  after 2 years, 10 percent still have problems.
• A lot of medical conditions and various factors
  contribute to fertility problems and a particular
  case may have a single reason, several reasons or
  no identifiable reason at all. In all, one-third
  of infertility cases are due to male reproductive
  problems, one third by female reproductive issues
  and the other one third by both male and female
  issues or by some unknown reasons.

Causes of infertility in men

• The most common problem that results in men's
  infertility are the issues that affect how
  testicles function. Other issues are hormonal
  imbalances or blockage in male reproductive
  organs. In around 50 percent of the cases, the
  cause of infertility in men cannot be known.
• But the major causes of infertility for men are
• Problem with the sperm-like low sperm count
• Hormonal issues
• Obstruction to the passage of sperm
• Functional issues like impotence

What are the male infertility treatment options?

• The ultimate aim of any male infertility
  treatment is to achieve a successful pregnancy.
  Ideally, the cause of infertility is not
  reversible and conception can be from natural sex
  only. Here are some common infertility
  treatments
• Repair of varicocele with surgery- to block the
  abnormal veins. This results in considerable
  improvement in fertility rate.
• Obstruction in sperm transport plumbing may be
  corrected surgically in some cases.
• Hormonal issues can be treated with surgery or
  medicine in some cases.
