DIAGNOSING AND TREATING MALE FACTOR INFERTILITY


Posted by admin on March 13th, 2009 filed in Men's Conditions

Along with a complete medical history and physical examination, the doctors perform different diagnosis tests for checking male factor infertility:

  • Multiple Semen Analysis, Two semen samples are collected on separate days to check the semen and sperm for various factors, such as semen volume, consistency, and pH, and the sperm count, motility, and morphology.

  • Other Tests, To find the cause of sperm abnormalities or diseases of the male reproductive system.

    • The specific treatment strategy for male factor infertility will be determined by the doctor depending upon:

  • Age, Overall Health, and Medical History

  • Stretch of the disease

  • Tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies

  • Opinion or Preference

    • There is a wide range of treatment options available for male factor infertility. These are:

    Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)
    This type of treatment may include the following:

  • Artificial Insemination include the placement of relatively large numbers of healthy sperm either at the opening of the cervix or into the partner’s uterus, bypassing the cervix, to get through the fallopian tubes.

  • In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or Gamete Intra-Fallopian Transfer (GIFT), or Other Techniques provide chances to prepare sperm in vitro, so that oocytes are exposed to an optimal concentration of high quality, motile sperm.

  • Microsurgical Fertilization is used to help sperm penetration by injection of a single sperm into the oocyte.

    • Drug Therapy
    This may include gonadotrophin therapy, antibiotics, or another medication deemed appropriate. It is used to treat the hormonal disorder, which causes dysfunction in the mechanism of interaction between the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland, and the testes directly affect the development of sperm.

    Surgery
    This is used to overcome anatomical barriers that prevent sperm production and maturation or ejaculation. It removes the varicose veins in the scrotum, and improves the quality of sperm.
