Male Infertility

Male Infertility is a common condition affecting a man’s ability to conceive with his partner. It is often due to low sperm production, abnormal sperm function, or blockages preventing sperm delivery. Dr. Prabhat Ranjan, a leading urologist, specializes in diagnosing and treating male infertility, providing compassionate care to help couples achieve their dream of parenthood.

Common Signs of Male Infertility

Symptoms of Male Infertility

Male infertility may not present obvious symptoms beyond the inability to conceive. Subtle indicators include low libido, erectile dysfunction, or difficulty maintaining an erection. Men may experience reduced ejaculate volume or notice unusual discharge or texture.

Other symptoms can include pain or swelling in the testicles, a palpable lump or abnormal growth, or discomfort during ejaculation. Chronic health conditions like obesity, diabetes, or hormonal imbalances may indirectly signal infertility. Early medical evaluation is critical to identify underlying causes and explore treatment options tailored to individual needs.

Diagnosis and Treatment Options

Dr. Ranjan employs a thorough diagnostic approach, including:

Semen Analysis: To evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology.
Blood Tests: To assess hormonal levels and genetic factors.
Ultrasound: To detect blockages or structural abnormalities.
Testicular Biopsy: To investigate sperm production directly.

Treatment Options

Lifestyle Changes: Improved diet, exercise, and cessation of smoking or alcohol.
Medications: Hormone therapies or drugs to treat infections.
Surgical Interventions: Varicocele repair or blockage removal.
Assisted Reproductive Techniques (ART): IVF or ICSI for severe cases.

Prevention Strategies

Dr. Ranjan emphasizes preventive care, including maintaining a healthy weight, avoiding exposure to toxins, wearing protective gear during sports, and seeking early treatment for infections or medical conditions that may affect fertility.
