Male Infertility Treatment in Pakistan

Male infertility contributes to nearly 40–50% of infertility cases worldwide. At IVF Experts, we provide advanced diagnostic evaluation, evidence-based treatment protocols and precision embryology solutions tailored to each couple.

Understanding Male Infertility

Male infertility refers to the inability to achieve pregnancy due to abnormalities in sperm production, function or delivery. Contrary to common perception, infertility is not solely a female issue. In nearly half of infertile couples, male factors play a significant role.

Sperm abnormalities may involve:

  • Reduced sperm count (oligospermia)
  • Complete absence of sperm (azoospermia)
  • Poor sperm motility (asthenozoospermia)
  • Abnormal morphology (teratozoospermia)
  • High sperm DNA fragmentation

Proper evaluation allows us to determine whether lifestyle modification, medical therapy, surgical correction, IUI, IVF or ICSI is the most appropriate treatment pathway.

Common Causes of Male Infertility

Male infertility may arise from a combination of medical, genetic and environmental factors.

  • Varicocele
  • Hormonal imbalance (FSH, LH, Testosterone)
  • Genetic abnormalities (e.g., Y chromosome microdeletions)
  • Obstruction of reproductive tract
  • Testicular failure
  • Infections
  • Lifestyle factors (smoking, obesity, toxins)
  • Oxidative stress and DNA damage

Each condition requires a personalized diagnostic approach to determine prognosis and appropriate treatment.

Comprehensive Diagnostic Evaluation

Accurate diagnosis is the foundation of effective treatment.

  • WHO 6th edition semen analysis
  • Hormonal profile
  • Scrotal ultrasound
  • Genetic testing
  • Sperm DNA integrity testing
  • Testicular biopsy (in selected cases)

Advanced laboratory interpretation allows stratification of cases into mild, moderate or severe male factor infertility.

Treatment Options

Lifestyle & Medical Management

Weight optimization, antioxidant therapy and hormonal regulation may improve mild male factor infertility.

IUI (Intrauterine Insemination)

In selected mild cases, processed sperm can be placed directly inside the uterus.

IVF & ICSI

For moderate to severe male infertility, ICSI allows direct injection of a single sperm into the egg, bypassing natural fertilization barriers and significantly improving success rates.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Many male infertility conditions can be treated using medical therapy, surgical correction or assisted reproductive techniques such as ICSI.
Couples under 35 should seek evaluation after 12 months of trying. If the female partner is over 35, consultation is recommended after 6 months.
ICSI significantly improves fertilization in severe male factor cases, but overall success depends on multiple factors including female age and embryo quality.
