Overview

More common than you'd think, and treatable

Male fertility issues are responsible for around 40% of infertility cases — far more common than most couples realise, and far more treatable too. At AMVI Hospitals, Dr. Shaivalini Kamarapu evaluates both partners together, because fertility is a shared journey, not a one-sided investigation.

A simple semen analysis is usually the starting point, and it can rule in or rule out a male factor within a day. Whether the right path turns out to be a lifestyle change, medication, IUI, or ICSI, there's an effective option available for almost every case of male infertility.

When to get tested

Signs it's time for a semen analysis

A semen analysis takes about 30 minutes and can give answers that change the whole plan going forward.

You and your partner have been trying to conceive for over 12 months without success

No sperm found in semen after ejaculation — this needs urgent evaluation

A history of undescended testicles, testicular injury, or surgery in that area

Previous cancer treatment — chemotherapy or radiotherapy can affect sperm production

Known hormonal issues, such as low testosterone

A visible or felt swelling in the scrotum (possible varicocele)

Difficulty with erections or ejaculation

A family history of fertility problems

Treatment options

From lifestyle changes to ICSI

Medications

Hormonal treatment for underlying imbalances, or antioxidant therapy to improve sperm quality.

Varicocele repair

Surgical or microsurgical correction to improve sperm count and quality where a varicocele is the cause.

IUI

Prepared sperm placed directly into the uterus — suitable for mild male-factor infertility.

IVF with ICSI

A single healthy sperm injected directly into each egg — the most effective option for severe male infertility, even with very low counts.

Common questions

Male infertility — frequently asked questions

Male factors are involved in around 40% of infertility cases — either alone or alongside a female factor. It's far more common than most couples expect, and a semen analysis is a quick way to check.

A semen analysis — checking sperm count, motility, and morphology. It takes about 30 minutes to produce a sample and can give answers that shape the entire treatment plan.

Often, yes. Lifestyle changes, medication, or varicocele repair can resolve milder cases. IUI is an option for mild male-factor infertility. IVF with ICSI is typically reserved for more severe cases.

ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) involves injecting a single healthy sperm directly into a mature egg under a microscope, bypassing natural fertilisation barriers. It's recommended when sperm count, motility, or quality is significantly affecting the chances of standard IVF working.

Not necessarily. In many cases of azoospermia, sperm can still be surgically retrieved directly from the testicle or epididymis (TESA/PESA) and used for ICSI — this has helped many men with azoospermia achieve biological parenthood.

This depends on the cause. Lifestyle changes and medication may take 2–3 months to show a measurable improvement in semen parameters (sperm takes about 74 days to mature), while surgical or assisted reproduction options work on a different, procedure-specific timeline.

Smoking, excessive alcohol, obesity, prolonged heat exposure (hot tubs, saunas, laptops on the lap), and high stress can all reduce sperm count and quality. Maintaining a healthy weight and stopping smoking are two of the most impactful changes.

Yes — at AMVI Hospitals, Dr. Shaivalini evaluates both partners simultaneously. Since infertility can involve either partner or both, testing together avoids delays and gives a complete picture from the start.
