Understanding Male Infertility: Causes and Risk Factors

Male infertility is defined as the inability of a man to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner after 12 months or more of regular unprotected intercourse. It is not a single condition but rather a spectrum of disorders that affect sperm production, sperm quality, sperm transport, or the ability to achieve sexual intercourse. Understanding the root cause is essential for selecting the most effective treatment.

Common Causes of Male Infertility

Low sperm count (oligospermia)
Absent sperm in semen (azoospermia)
Poor sperm motility (asthenospermia)
Abnormal sperm shape (teratospermia)
Varicocele (enlarged scrotal veins)
Hormonal imbalances (low testosterone, elevated FSH)
Obstructions in vas deferens or epididymis
Undescended testes (cryptorchidism)
Genetic disorders (Y chromosome microdeletion)
Infections (orchitis, epididymitis)
Erectile or ejaculatory dysfunction
Lifestyle factors (smoking, alcohol, heat exposure)

💡 Key Insight: Many causes of male infertility — including varicocele, hormonal imbalances, and obstructive azoospermia — are fully correctable with the right medical or surgical intervention. Early evaluation dramatically improves outcomes.

How Dr. Abhijit Shah Diagnoses Male Infertility

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment. When a patient seeks the best male infertility treatment in Andheri, the evaluation begins with a detailed clinical history and physical examination, followed by a structured series of investigations tailored to the individual's presentation.

1

Semen Analysis

The primary diagnostic test — evaluates sperm count, motility (forward movement), morphology (shape), volume, and pH. Often repeated twice for accuracy.

2

Hormonal Blood Tests

Measures FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin, and thyroid function to assess the hormonal axis governing sperm production.

3

Scrotal & Transrectal Ultrasound

Detects varicocele, testicular atrophy, epididymal cysts, obstruction, or ejaculatory duct abnormalities that may be affecting fertility.

4

Genetic Testing

Karyotype analysis and Y chromosome microdeletion screening are recommended in cases of severe oligospermia or azoospermia to guide prognosis and treatment.

5

Testicular Biopsy (if required)

In cases of non-obstructive azoospermia, TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) or TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) both confirms sperm production and retrieves sperm for ART (IVF/ICSI).

Treatment Options for Male Infertility

Once the underlying cause is identified, Dr. Shah recommends the most targeted and effective treatment — choosing the least invasive option appropriate for each patient's condition. This is what distinguishes the best male infertility treatment in Andheri from a generic or one-size-fits-all approach.

💊

Medical & Hormonal Therapy

Clomiphene citrate, gonadotrophins, and other hormonal agents are used to stimulate sperm production in men with hypogonadism or secondary hormonal deficiency.

🩺

Varicocelectomy

Surgical repair of varicocele — the most common correctable cause of male infertility. Microsurgical varicocelectomy improves sperm count and motility in 60–70% of cases.

🔬

TESA / TESE (Sperm Retrieval)

Minimally invasive surgical retrieval of sperm directly from testicular tissue for use in IVF/ICSI — effective in both obstructive and select non-obstructive azoospermia cases.

🔧

Surgical Obstruction Repair

Vasovasostomy (reversal of vasectomy) and vasoepididymostomy (epididymal bypass) are reconstructive procedures to restore natural sperm delivery.

🧬

Antioxidant & Lifestyle Therapy

Structured supplementation (vitamin E, CoQ10, zinc, selenium), weight optimisation, smoking cessation, and heat avoidance can meaningfully improve sperm parameters in appropriate candidates.

❤️

Erectile & Ejaculatory Dysfunction Treatment

Comprehensive management of ED and ejaculatory disorders — from oral medications and penile Doppler assessment through to prosthetic surgery where indicated.

Varicocele: The Most Common Treatable Cause of Male Infertility

A varicocele is an abnormal dilation of the veins within the scrotum — essentially varicose veins of the testicle. It is found in approximately 15% of all men and in up to 40% of men evaluated for infertility. The pooling of warm venous blood around the testes raises scrotal temperature, which impairs sperm production and damages sperm DNA.

The good news is that varicocele is surgically correctable. Microsurgical varicocelectomy performed by Dr. Abhijit Shah involves tying off the dilated veins through a small subinguinal or inguinal incision under microscopic magnification — preserving the testicular artery and lymphatics while eliminating the abnormal venous drainage. Studies consistently show that successful varicocelectomy improves semen parameters in the majority of patients and increases natural pregnancy rates, in addition to improving outcomes for couples proceeding with IVF/ICSI.

Sexual Health and Erectile Dysfunction

Male infertility and sexual health are deeply intertwined. Erectile dysfunction (ED) — the persistent inability to achieve or maintain an erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual activity — can itself be a barrier to conception, independent of sperm quality. Dr. Abhijit Shah offers a complete assessment of male sexual health, including penile Doppler ultrasound to assess vascular causes of ED, hormonal evaluation, and a full range of treatment options from medical therapy to, in appropriate cases, penile prosthesis implantation.

All consultations are conducted with absolute discretion and sensitivity. Seeking help for ED or sexual health concerns is a sign of proactive care — not weakness — and Dr. Shah's practice is built on creating a safe, non-judgmental environment for every patient.

Frequently Asked Questions

Male Infertility — Your Questions Answered

Honest, clear answers to questions patients most commonly ask before their first consultation.

  • Dr. Abhijit Shah at Ashwini Polyclinic, Andheri (West) provides the best male infertility treatment in Andheri. He is a qualified Consultant Urologist and Uro-Oncologist with specialised expertise in male reproductive health, including azoospermia, low sperm count, varicocele, hormonal imbalances, and erectile dysfunction. His clinic is located at Shop No. 23, Kabra Metro One, Near Versova Metro Station, Seven Bungalow, Andheri West, Mumbai – 400 053.
  • Male infertility can result from low sperm count (oligospermia), absent sperm (azoospermia), poor sperm motility, abnormal sperm shape, varicocele, hormonal imbalances, obstructions in the vas deferens or epididymis, undescended testes, genetic disorders, infections, and lifestyle factors such as smoking, alcohol, or heat exposure. Dr. Abhijit Shah conducts a thorough diagnostic evaluation to identify the exact cause before recommending treatment.
  • A varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, similar to varicose veins. It affects approximately 15% of all men and up to 40% of men evaluated for infertility. Varicocele impairs sperm production by increasing scrotal temperature and reducing blood oxygen levels. Surgical treatment (varicocelectomy) performed by Dr. Abhijit Shah can significantly improve sperm parameters and enhance fertility outcomes.
  • A comprehensive evaluation includes semen analysis (measuring sperm count, motility, and morphology), hormonal blood tests (FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin), scrotal ultrasound (to detect varicocele or structural abnormalities), genetic testing (karyotype, Y chromosome microdeletion), and in some cases, a testicular biopsy (TESA/TESE) to retrieve sperm directly from testicular tissue.
  • Yes, in many cases male infertility can be effectively managed without surgery. Hormonal therapy corrects imbalances affecting sperm production, and lifestyle modifications (weight loss, quitting smoking, reducing alcohol) can improve sperm parameters significantly. However, structural causes such as varicocele, vas deferens obstruction, or azoospermia requiring TESA/TESE typically need a surgical or procedural intervention. Dr. Abhijit Shah always recommends the least invasive yet most effective approach for each individual.
  • Azoospermia is a condition in which no sperm are present in the ejaculate. It is classified as obstructive (a blockage prevents sperm release) or non-obstructive (the testes do not produce sufficient sperm). Obstructive azoospermia can often be treated surgically by repairing the obstruction or retrieving sperm using TESA/TESE for IVF/ICSI. Dr. Abhijit Shah has expertise in both diagnosis and surgical sperm retrieval procedures for azoospermia.
  • Yes. Dr. Abhijit Shah offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment for erectile dysfunction (ED), including medical management with PDE5 inhibitors, hormonal therapy for testosterone deficiency, penile Doppler ultrasound for vascular assessment, and in appropriate cases, surgical options such as penile prosthesis implantation. All consultations are conducted with complete discretion and sensitivity.
