Male Infertility: Diagnosis and Treatment
Infertility is a common condition that affects both women and men. In men, infertility may result from various factors, including hormonal disorders (e.g., hypogonadism), genetic abnormalities (such as Klinefelter syndrome), anatomical conditions (e.g., varicocele), as well as external influences including stress, environmental toxins, and lifestyle factors.
The diagnosis and treatment of male infertility require a comprehensive and specialized approach aimed at identifying the underlying causes and selecting the most appropriate individualized therapy.
Diagnostic Methods
- Detailed medical history and clinical examination
- Semen analysis (spermiogram) – assessment of sperm count, motility, and morphology
- Hormonal evaluation – measurement of testosterone, FSH, and LH levels
- Genetic testing (karyotyping) – identification of hereditary causes of infertility
- Ultrasound examination – detection of structural abnormalities of the male reproductive organs
Treatment Options
We offer a broad spectrum of therapeutic approaches tailored to each patient’s individual situation:
- Pharmacological therapy (e.g., clomiphene, gonadotropins) – to stimulate spermatogenesis
- Surgical treatment – correction of anatomical abnormalities such as varicocele or obstruction of the vas deferens
- Assisted reproductive technologies (ART):
- ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection)
- IVF (In Vitro Fertilization)
Prevention and Follow-Up Care
- Regular follow-up examinations to evaluate treatment effectiveness and adjust therapy as needed
- Lifestyle counseling, including recommendations on nutrition, physical activity, and measures to improve fertility
- Psychological support for patients throughout all stages of treatment
