The male factor plays a role in approximately half of couples who consult for infertility. Multiple pre-testicular, testicular and post-testicular pathologies can influence male fertile potential.
A suitable diagnostic approach will help to identify a specific cause in most cases and allow the specialist to offer a treatment that gives the highest probability of success.
CAUSES OF INFERTILITY IN MEN
Obesity and overweight: this can produce various hormonal problems that directly influence the fertility of people, mainly in cases that are accompanied by other diseases such as diabetes.
Hormonal treatments: bodybuilders to maintain their image, come to consume various hormones. These can cause disorders that affect the quantity and quality of your sperm.
Traumas in the testicles: in some cases, such as those of men who ride bicycles, they can have microtrauma in the testicles, and may have problems in sperm production.
Diseases related to testicular growth: In some cases, men may have undescended testicles or suffer from a retractable testicle. These problems cause them to not produce hormones in a normal way, so, when visiting the doctor for these problems, they know long before their fertility can be altered.
TREATMENTS FOR INFERTILITY IN MEN
After medical exams, if it is discovered that the infertility that the couple is suffering is due to male diseases or problems, it can already begin to be treated.
In the event that the man presents a mild infertility, as a treatment there is the option of "artificial insemination." This type of treatment has a success rate of 15-20% or so, which is very close to what a woman would have per cycle, so that is why it is considered very good.
When performing this type of treatment, specialists recommend performing the procedure up to three times, as this would ensure a 40% success.
OTHER TREATMENT ALTERNATIVES
In the event that the man presents a severe infertility, as a treatment there is the option of in vitro fertilization.
We emphasize that although today more awareness about infertility is already taking place, "we still lack as a society that man accepts more to take charge of his fertility".
Finally, it should be noted that, if the man has doubts about his fertility or suspicions, he must visit the specialist.
