Male infertility is a condition that affects men. It interferes with the ability of their reproductive system to impregnate a female, commonly due to issues with sperm count, movement, or shape. Affecting 10-15% of couples in India, it can be caused by lifestyle choices, medical conditions, or environmental factors, with possible symptoms including hormonal imbalances, diminished sexual desire, and erectile dysfunction.
Diagnosis is determined through tests like semen analysis and sperm DNA fragmentation tests. Fortunately, new breakthroughs bring hope, with treatments ranging from advanced sperm retrieval procedures like PESA and TESA, to surgical solutions like varicocelectomy and vasectomy reversal, and fertility preservation via semen freezing.
