One Of The Happiest Moments Of Adult Life Is When One Steps Into Parenthood.
When one speaks about parenthood, the thought of motherhood, the excitement, the joy, and the celebration related to this magnificent feeling is what comes to mind at the outset. Whether a couple is successful in this or has faced failure, the merit or demerit are usually attributed to women. It is a known fact that emotional support goes unsaid to women. Nevertheless, very little is known or spoken of about men too can cause infertility, they could also be affected both physically and emotionally if one fails to be blessed with the joy of being a “Father.” Commonly, men do not speak up or express the mental trauma that one is going through when facing issues due to male infertility.
MALE INFERTILITY
This refers to a condition where a woman is unable to conceive despite being fertile owing to infertility problems in the partner. Infertility in men is usually caused due to certain deficiencies in semen.
The reproductive system in males includes both internal and external organs. These include the penis, scrotum, testicles, prostate gland, and duct system. The primary functions of these organs are:
Production and transportation of semen that contains sperm.
Release of sperm into the female reproductive organs.
Production of testosterone (male sex hormone).
If there is an abnormality in any of the above organs, it could lead to infertility. If one has failed to conceive a child despite continued efforts, it is very important to be apprised about the causes leading to such a condition. There is a multitude of causes that are responsible for male infertility.
CAUSES
Infertility in males can be due to the following reasons:
Non-obstructive azoospermia – Absence of sperm due to impaired or abnormal sperm production
Obstructive azoospermia – Absence of sperm as a result of obstruction or blockage.
Oligospermia – decreased sperm count in the semen.
Teratospermia – Abnormality in sperm morphology.
Abnormal functions of the sperm due to undescended testicles.
Injury to genitalia
Environmental conditions that directly or indirectly affect sperm production such as constant exposure to heat or toxins.
Ejaculatory problems – premature ejaculation, delayed ejaculation, or retrograde ejaculation.
Poor sperm motility.
Varicocele – a condition caused by distention of veins within the scrotum.
infections.
obesity.
stress.
Genetic disorders.
No matter what the amplitude and intensity of the problem are, there exists a treatment for male infertility. One needs to seek medical advice and might have to go through a series of infertility tests to determine the underlying cause to help find the exact treatment.
The early, the better. The first step towards diagnosing the problems with infertility in men involves a general physical examination, studying the medical history, and semen analysis.
Treatments for infertility in men include:
Surgery – if any underlying condition such as varicocele warrants surgery.
Treating any infections that could be leading to infertility.
Treatment for sexual intercourse.
Hormone replacement therapy if either high or low levels of hormones are observed, which could also be one of the major causes accounting for infertility.
IVF if the sperm motility is poor.
Apart from these treatment modalities, certain lifestyle modifications and a positive approach towards sexual wellbeing both physical and psychological could add up to the treatment process.
The treatment course depends on the nature and intensity of the problem. Do not let fear overshadow your joy. Talk to the healthcare provider right away.
