Male Infertility — Overview

Male factor infertility contributes to 40–50% of all infertility cases. Dr. Kanishk Dokania evaluates and treats all surgically correctable causes of male infertility at Charak Hospital — improving natural conception or optimising sperm for IVF/ICSI.

Causes & Treatment Options

Surgically Correctable Causes

  • Varicocele — Dilated testicular veins (most common correctable cause). Microsurgical varicocelectomy improves sperm count in 60–70% of men. 3–5 week recovery.
  • Obstructive Azoospermia — No sperm due to blocked tubes. TESA/PESA retrieves sperm for IVF/ICSI under local anaesthesia.
  • Post-vasectomy Infertility — Vasectomy reversal (vasovasostomy) — 50–90% success depending on interval since vasectomy.
  • Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction — TURED (transurethral resection of ejaculatory ducts).

Investigations

  • Semen analysis (count, motility, morphology)
  • Scrotal Doppler ultrasound for varicocele
  • Hormonal profile (FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin)
  • Y chromosome microdeletion & karyotype for azoospermia

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Varicocele (dilated veins draining the testis) elevates scrotal temperature, impairing sperm production and function. It is found in 40% of infertile men and is the most common surgically correctable cause of male infertility. Microsurgical varicocelectomy improves sperm parameters in 60–70% of men within 3–6 months.
TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) is a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthesia where sperm is directly extracted from the testis. It is used for men with azoospermia (no sperm in ejaculate) due to obstruction or severe testicular failure. The extracted sperm is used for IVF/ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection). PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration) is a similar technique extracting sperm from the epididymis.
Vasectomy reversal (vasovasostomy) success rate depends on the time since vasectomy: within 3 years: 75%, 3–8 years: 50–55%, 9–14 years: 40%, >15 years: 30%. Earlier reversal gives better results. Microsurgical technique under magnification gives the best outcomes.
