Male Infertility Diagnosis
Male infertility Male infertility refers to the man’s
incapacity to achieve pregnancy in a female who is fertile. It is commonly due
to semen deficiencies, hormonal disturbances and psychological problems.
Fertility among males usually requires the
normal functioning of the testes, pituitary
gland and hypothalamus. Hence,
a range of health conditions can lead to
infertility.
Many healthcare providers evaluate infertility through:
1. Knowing the man’s medical history and previous health are two of the most important
factors in evaluating male infertility. A healthcare provider will start asking about
childhood growth and development, as well as sexually-related experiences during
adolescence, exposure to specific environmental agents like chemotherapy,
radiation, alcohol and fertility testing records.
2. Physical examination including body fat assessment, thorough inspection of
hair and skin pattern, height and weight measurement and visual
examination of reproductive parts.
3. Semen analysis is the most critical part of the entire
infertility evaluation. It comprises of the following tests:
• Laboratory testing – Here, the average sperm count serves as the central part of the whole process. This
semen analysis provides necessary information
about the shape and motility of the sperm.
• Home testing is often referred to as “over-the-
counter” tests wherein the total number of motile
sperm can be estimated through user-friendly
testing kits like FERTELL. Here, sperm analysis can
be performed at the comfort of one’s home but
its reliability in predicting a man’s fertility is limited.
• Genetic tests are done to determine if any chromosomal or genetic abnormalities
are suspected to be contributory to barrenness. Some men have inherited
genes which results in infertility.
• Blood testing may detect hormonal disorders. If the sperm concentration is low, the doctor
may suspect that there is a hormonal problem.
• Other tests such as testicular biopsy are often recommended for males with
insufficient sperm. This biopsy is done through surgical procedures by opening
the testes and inserting a small needle to withdraw tissues essential for sampling.
Among couples not being able conceive, about half can be attributed to male
infertility. This is a significant realization
because most infertility evaluations and
treatments have traditionally focused on women, who are more
open to seeking advice and help.
To make matters worse, many men who are willing to undergo
diagnoses and treatment, experience disappointment when
conventional infertility treatments fail to address their problems.
This being the case, it is highly recommended
that they seek natural and holistic forms of
therapy such as the use of Chinese medicine,
acupuncture, yoga and relaxation, which are far
superior in that they treat the causes and not
just the symptoms.
Holistic measures improve general health of both men
and women, thus not only improving their chances of
conceiving but also enjoying a better quality of life.
