Male Infertility Treatment in Cuttack

Infertility is a condition where couples are unable to conceive following regular unprotected intercourse for over a year. If it occurs as a result of male factors, it is male infertility. It is often due to a problem concerning the production, movement, or delivery of sperm. Since almost half of the cases of infertility involve male factor, it is as necessary for men to have a reproductive health checkup.

There can be a number of causes that can lead to male infertility. Finding the root cause is the first step in the treatment. Common causes are:

• Varicocele (swelling of veins in the scrotum)
• Hormonal imbalances
• Infections (e.g., epididymitis, STIs)
• Ejaculation disorders (retrograde ejaculation)
• Obstruction in sperm transport
• Chromosomal abnormalities
• Testicular trauma or surgery
• Lifestyle factors (stress, smoking, alcohol, exposure to heat or chemicals)

While there are no clear symptoms of male infertility other than difficulty in conceiving, in some cases, the following signs call for attention.

• Low sperm count or volume
• Pain, swelling or lumps in the testicular area
• Decreased facial or body hair
• Erectile dysfunction or low libido
• Small or undescended testicles

If you notice any of these male infertility symptoms, consult a specialist at Birla Fertility & IVF, Cuttack, for a timely and accurate diagnosis.

Our fertility clinic in Cuttack uses advanced technology for accurate diagnosis of the problem. Each patient gets a personalised diagnosis plan to ensure precise results. Here is an overview:

• Semen analysis: This is done to evaluate sperm count, motility and morphology
• Hormonal testing: It helps check testosterone and other hormone levels in the body
• Scrotal ultrasound: It detects varicoceles or structural issues in the reproductive system
• Genetic testing: It identifies if any hereditary condition is causing the infertility problem
• Post-ejaculation urinalysis: It detects retrograde ejaculation
• Testicular biopsy: It helps assess sperm production in certain cases

Male infertility is more prevalent than many realise. According to global studies, nearly 1 in 6 couples experience infertility, and in 30–40% of these cases, the cause lies solely in the male partner. In India, the incidence of male infertility is steadily rising due to lifestyle factors, pollution, stress and medical conditions.

The risk of infertility increases in men in the following cases:

• Age ( since fertility declines gradually after 40)
• Excessive alcohol or tobacco use
• Obesity or poor nutrition
• Occupational exposure to toxins
• Medical history (e.g., mumps, STIs (sexually transmitted diseases), varicocele)
• Genetic conditions (such as Klinefelter syndrome)

At Birla Fertility & IVF, Cuttack, we conduct a thorough assessment to identify the underlying factors and recommend the most effective treatment for male infertility.

Types of male infertility vary based on the underlying cause. The following are the common cases.

• Pre-testicular Infertility: Due to hormonal or hypothalamic issues
• Testicular Infertility: Caused by damage or dysfunction of the testicles
• Post-testicular Infertility: Related to ejaculation or sperm transport problems
• Unexplained Infertility: Where no clear cause is identified

Our experts at Birla Fertility & IVF, Cuttack, determine the type of infertility to guide the treatment approach.

• IUI (Intrauterine Insemination): Washed and concentrated sperm are directly placed into the uterus, increasing the chances of fertilisation in cases of low sperm count or motility.
• IVF (In Vitro Fertilisation): Eggs and sperm are combined outside the body in a lab, and the resulting embryo is implanted in the uterus; often used with ICSI for male factor infertility.
• ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection): A single healthy sperm is injected directly into an egg, ideal for severe sperm issues like low count, poor morphology, or motility.
• Surgical sperm retrieval: Techniques like TESA, PESA, or micro-TESE are used to extract sperm directly from the testicles in cases where sperm are not present in the semen (azoospermia).

The success rate of male infertility treatment depends on the cause, age of the couple, and treatment chosen.
