Treatment for male infertility depends on its cause. Sometimes success is achieved quickly and sometimes it is achieved after long-lasting treatment and patience. Often treatment also doesn’t help, or medicine is powerless.

Treatment for male infertility #1

When reasons for infertility are of a transitional, inorganic nature (e.g. impotence), which means that they are of a psychological nature, this is treated by a psychiatrist. If you have sexual intercourse too often or too rarely, you can adjust that by seeking advice on the interval between sexual intercourse which is the most suitable for you and your partner in terms of the value of semen and the women’s fertile days.

Treatment for male infertility #2

Men who are overweight are prescribed an appropriate diet (weight reduction diet). Men who smoke and drink alcohol are advised to be moderate. Men who are overburdened with work (particularly with physical labor) are advised to have more spare time.

Treatment for male infertility #3

Treatment with male hormones (testosterone) is only rarely successful. At the beginning of the treatment and a few moths afterwards, when men cured in this way stop taking drugs, their semen is of poor quality, and sometimes the sperm cells in the semen disappear entirely. In some cases, the value of semen improves after 3 to 6 months, either in terms of the number of sperms or their mobility. If the value of semen is increased, the treatment can enable conception.

Treatment for male infertility #4

Treatment with the drug similar to the female hormone, estrogen, in terms of composition is somewhat more successful. This drug (Clomid, Dyneric) cannot be obtained in a pharmacy because it is rarely used. It is only taken in specifically selected cases and under strict medical supervision because it causes unpleasant consequences.

Treatment for male infertility #5

In some, not rare, cases the testicles remain in the inguinal canal. The testicles slip through the inguinal canal into the scrotum just before birth. If that doesn’t occur, they remain in the abdominal cavity (one or both), or they descend only half way and stop in the extended part of the inguinal canal. Such a child has to be operated at least before the age of five. If the abnormality is discovered in pre-puberty, there is still a possibility to receive hormonal treatment, otherwise an operation is needed. An urologist transfers the testicle on the right place, that is, from the abdominal cavity or inguinal canal to the scrotum. An operation can be very successful, but the value of semen isn’t sufficiently improved afterwards. Sometimes an operation is only partly successful (the testicles remain very close to the opening of the inguinal canal), but a spermiogram shows a good value.

Treatment for male infertility #6

Azoospermia: if there are no sperm cells in semen, but the biopsy of the testicle confirms that sperm cells are produced, this means that the vasa deferentia tubes are blocked somewhere. In that case as well, an urologist makes one or both tubes passable with plastic surgery that depends on the location of the closure. Success of such operations isn’t encouraging, although there are recorded cases of conception.
