Male Infertility & Treatment

In earlier times the inability to bear a child was squarely blamed on woman. With all the associated dogmas that are attributed to a woman unable to bear a child life became miserable for the unfortunate.  

The failure of conception to take place can be due to an infertile male as well. Hence after proper tests and diagnostics it is determine who needs corrective treatment. With advance therapies available conception is possible.    

Males become infertile due to lack of proper amount of sperms. The sperms could also be deformed and have no motility to fertilise the egg. Blockages is the reproductive apparatus can also hinder fertilisation of egg.  The problems could be hormonal, genetic and autoimmune,  There are many underlying medical inadequacies that require a look into through tests before corrective action can be taken.

Usually the treatment is improvement in lifestyle as well as usage of assisted conception techniques. Chronic alcoholism and tobacco use are responsible for low sperm count. The modified IVF treatment used are GIFT & ZIFT. The former is gamete intrafallopian transfer and zygote intrafallopian transfer. these are modified versions of IVF. These procedures are closer to natural conception. But the procedures require invasive interventions hence IVF procedure is preferred treatment all over.
