Male fertility treatments

Male fertility treatment in Mumbai is essential because approximately 40% of all infertile couples have male factors involved. In some cases, both partners suffer from medical conditions that limit their ability to get pregnant. At Zoi Fertility, we provide comprehensive male fertility treatment in Mumbai including advanced diagnostics, ICSI, TESA, micro TESE, and sperm processing techniques that have helped over 3,500 families achieve their dream of parenthood.

Understanding Sperm Production

Before exploring male fertility treatment in Mumbai, it is important to understand the sperm production cycle. Testes constantly produce new sperms through a process called spermatogenesis, producing approximately 1,500 sperms every second. By the end of a full 64 day sperm production cycle, a man produces about 8 to 10 billion sperms. Every act of ejaculation releases 20 to 300 million sperm. There is always a fresh supply available for conception.

When sperm production, quality, or delivery is compromised, male fertility treatment in Mumbai at Zoi Fertility can address the underlying issue. Our team uses the latest diagnostic tools and treatment protocols recommended by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to identify the exact cause and provide targeted solutions. Whether it is low sperm count, poor motility, or structural blockages, we offer IVF with ICSI, surgical sperm retrieval, and other advanced options.

Common Conditions suggesting IVF/IUI Treatments

Azoospermia

Azoospermia is the absence of sperms in a man’s ejaculate and we find this usually in 15 – 20% of male infertility issues.

Other Causes of Azoospermia

Varicocele: A condition in which the veins inside the scrotum are enlarged and engorged, causing the whole testes to look much bigger.
Drugs: Certain antibiotics and prescription medicines, steroids, marijuana directly affects the sperm production
Stress: Stress affects every organ of the body including the testes and sperm formation causing male infertility
Excess heat: Eg truck drivers, welders, or firefighters, or tight clothing or excessive use of the hot tub or keeping laptop for too long on laps, causes habits, affects sperm production
Toxicants: People working in areas where they are exposed to pesticides, heavy metals, lead, mercury, or paint can over a period of time affects the hormones and sperm production
Excessive Exercise: Heavy lifting, tight clothing or acts like bicycling can cause injuries in the groin.
Chronic Diseases: Many conditions like anemia, malnutrition, cancer, or diabetes affect sperm health
Dietary Deficiencies: It has been noted usually men with infertility issues are suffering from zinc, vitamin C, folic acid deficiency

How to Diagnose Poor Sperm Motility

Initial Diagnosis for male infertility involves:

Medical History: History related to any genetic conditions, or chronic health issues, or injuries, or surgeries that may have decreased the fertility quotient.
Semen Test: A semen sample is taken from the husband /partner and the semen is sent for analysis. This is usually the most commonly done and provides a lot of information on the quality of the semen/sperms. Semen tests determine the shape (morphology), (motility), and count of the sperms.

Advanced Diagnostic Tests for Low Sperm Count

In case the semen test is abnormal, we recommend a few more tests to identify the cause.

Testes Sonography: Sonography on the scrotum/testes to rule out varicocele or blockages of the tube.
DNA Fragmentation Test: Sperm DNA fragmentation has become one of the routine tests to rule out male infertility, which helps to identify abnormal genetic composition within the sperm. Poor or bad DNA fragmentation directly leads to multiple IVF / ICSI treatment failures and multiple miscarriages. Embryos which are formed from sperms with high DNA fragmentation level usually have shown blastocyst arrest, increased chance of miscarriage and abnormalities in the children born.
Hormonal Evaluation: Hormones play an important role in sexual development and sperm production. Any condition affecting the pituitary glands, or other organ systems, will influence infertility. Usually, Testosterone, FSH, LH are done.
Urine Analysis: Sperm in urine means sperms are going back (retrograde) into the bladder instead of coming out through the penis during ejaculation.
Genetic Evaluation: At times men may have inherited or genetic causes affecting their poor sperm sample. A simple karyotype will present the picture of the chromosomes.
Biopsy of Testes: In this procedure, usually a sample wedge is taken from the testicle with a needle. If the results are normal, it means the sperms are getting blocked through the passage tubes.

Treatment

On multiple occasions, we may not be able to ascertain the cause. In such cases, we may recommend treatments or procedures that will increase the chances of conception and pregnancy.

Surgery: In cases like varicocele, this can be surgically corrected or in cases of obstruction, the vas deferens can be repaired through surgery. If a man had a vasectomy, it can be reversed.
TESE: TESE is a minor surgical sperm retrieval procedure carried out under local anesthesia, and used in male infertility treatment, for men who have no sperm in their ejaculate. These sperms which are retrieved, are used to do ICSI with the eggs and is the best male fertility treatment option.
Infections: Antibiotic or antifungal treatments cure an active infection of the reproductive tract.
Stress or Sexual Intercourse Problems: Usually psychological counseling helps alleviate stress and improve fertility conditions like erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.
Hormonal Therapy: We may suggest you take some HRT (hormone Replacement Therapy) to correct the hormonal variations.
IVF or Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART): ART or IVF interventions are required when medical therapies did not show results. Sperms once collected through masturbation or surgical intervention, are then used through IUI or IVF procedure to get the female partner pregnant.
Sperm Donor: In rare cases, when any treatment has not worked in the favor, we do recommend and suggest that you and your partner should consider using donor sperms.

Home Remedies

Before pursuing male fertility treatment in Mumbai at a clinic, there are a few methods that you could try at home to increase your chances of conceiving naturally. These simple lifestyle changes can support your reproductive health and complement any formal treatment plan.

Frequency of sex: Having sexual intercourse 5 days before ovulation drastically increases the chances of getting pregnant.
Lubricants: Do not use condoms or any gelly/lubricants for male or female partners. These usually affect the sperm’s movement and function.
Healthy Lifestyle: Reduce carbs, lose weight, exercise, eat less, drink more water, eat healthy foods, remove junk food completely, get sleep. These steps invariably have brought changes to the semen or sperm sample.
Stop: Stop alcohol, quit smoking, and don’t use illicit drugs till you get pregnant.
