Male Infertility: How It Is Way More Common Than You Think? explained by Male Infertility Treatment Centre

The hectic work schedule and unhealthy eating habits have started to take a toll on the infertility of the young couples who wish to embrace parenthood in upcoming years. Although both men and women equally contribute when it comes to fertilizing the egg, people often solely blame women for infertility or childlessness.

The World Health Organization (WHO) conducted a survey just to find out that male infertility is underestimated in different parts of the world. However, it affects a significant portion of the total world population. Even though due to the lack of consistent data, it is challenging to come up with an accurate number, experts believe that men are solely responsible for more than 20% to 30% infertility cases or contribute in 50% cases overall. In short, male infertility is way more common than you think.

What is male Infertility? Male Infertility Treatment Centre explained?

Male infertility refers to a health issue where a male cannot get his partner pregnant even after a year of regular unprotected intercourse. In every 100 couples, 15 percent of couples are infertile and in over one-third of these couples, male infertility plays a huge role. Not being able to embrace the experience of parenthood can be heart-wrenching but there are numbers of treatments for male infertility are available in the SCI IVF Clinic in Noida.

What are the signs of male infertility in men? Explained by Male Infertility Treatment Centre

The first visible sign of male infertility is the inability to conceive a child even after having unprotected intercourse for years. As a male, your fertility largely depends upon your body making qualitative and quantitative sperms and delivering them for fertilization. If the sperm count is low or the sperm are poor in quality then, it will be difficult to fertilize the egg to lead a successful pregnancy. In some cases, the underlying factors like; hormonal imbalance, erectile dysfunction, reduced sex drive, dilated veins around the testicles can cause infertility in men. Some of the most common symptoms of infertility other than the inability to conceive are as given below:

  • Problems with sexual functions
  • Recurring respiratory infections
  • Swelling, pain or lump in the testicle area
  • Inability to smell
  • Obesity or overweight
  • Decreased number of facial and body hair
  • Abnormal chest growth

If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms then, chances are there that you are infertile for the time being.

What are the causes of male infertility in men? Explained by Male Infertility Centre

Male infertility is indeed a complex topic and sometimes there can be more than one factor that contributes to infertility. As the male factors are responsible for infertility around half of the time and about one-third time, it is the cause behind infertility. Most often, the cause lies in producing and delivering healthy sperm for fertilization. Here are some of the prime causes behind infertility in men:

  • Sperm disorders: sperm disorder is one of the most common causes of male infertility. In this condition, the produced sperm may not grow fully, not move, are low in number, oddly shaped, or not healthy for fertilization. Health, and lifestyle choices like alcohol consumption, drug abuse, and smoking can also affect the sperm count.


  • Obesity: overweight or obesity is directly linked with male infertility including directly affecting the sperm count and quality. It is also responsible for causing a hormonal imbalance that reduces the fertility rate.


  • Ejaculation issues: Retrograde ejaculation issue occurs when the semen enters into the bladder during the orgasm rather than escaping through the tip of the penis. Several health conditions like; diabetes, spinal injuries, surgery of urethra, bladder, and prostate can cause ejaculation issues. 


  • Varicoceles: This condition refers to the swollen veins in the scrotum. This condition is found in 16 out of every 100 men. The varicoceles harm the production of the sperm by blocking the blood drainage which makes testicles too warm for sperm production.


  • Medication: certain medications also affect the production, quality, and delivery of healthy sperm. These medications are often prescribed to treat health issues like; depression, arthritis, infections, cancer, blood pressure, etc.


  • Alcohol consumption: studies have found that there is a direct link between alcohol consumption and infertility in men. It lowers down the testosterone levels and can cause other sexual problems. 


  • Smoking: as obvious as it sounds, smoking is injurious to health and fertility in men. People who smoke on a regular basis have a lower sperm count than people who don’t. 


  • Stress due to work: stress, anxiety, and depression caused by heavy workloads can also lead to infertility in men.


What are the possible diagnosis and causes of male infertility treatment centre?

Treating the causes of male infertility can be difficult without proper diagnosis. Therefore, the team urology experts at the SCIIVF Centre in Noida starts with the following diagnosis:

Semen analysis: it is the routine lab test where the collected semen sample is put under the microscope to analyse different sperm factors like; count, volume, quality, movement, concentration, and structure. The quality of the sperm tells a lot about a person’s capability to fertilize and conceive. If something is wrong with the sperm then it can increase the overall chances of male infertility.

Transrectal Ultrasound: the professionals at the SCIIVF can also recommend patients to take transrectal ultrasound to get a clear picture of the organ. This helps the expert to see if the structures of the ejaculatory duct or seminal vesicles are poorly formed or blocked.

Hormonal profile: digging into the hormonal profile can also help to how well the testicles produce the sperms. This test helps to highlight the underlying causes of infertility. For instance, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) is the pituitary hormone that instructs testicle to produce sperm. If the level of FSH is high then it means testicles are getting the instruction to produce sperm but they won’t.

Once the exact cause is identified through the tests, the experts will further proceed with the specific treatments. You can consult with the top urologists in Noida regarding your infertility issue to learn more. however, sometimes it is difficult to come up with the exact cause of male infertility but that doesn’t mean you can fulfil your dream of becoming a father. Here are some of the possible treatments to cure male infertility:

Sperm Retrieval Procedures (PESA)

Sperm Retrieval Procedures commonly known as PESA is the procedure to recover the sperm from testicles with the help of needle or syringe technique. In this process, the needle is directly placed in the epididymis to collect the sperm. This process has a high success rate with the cases where testicles can produce quality sperm but fails to deliver due to the blockage in the vas deferens. Once done, the sperm can be used to create a healthy embryo through the IVF process in Noida which leads to a successful pregnancy.

Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)

Testicular Sperm Aspiration is similar to the needle biopsy but includes placing a needle attached with the syringe in the layer of the scrotum to simply suck out the sperm from testicles. In some cases, the success rate with TESA is higher than PESA.

Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE)

Unlike TESA, the Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) involves opening up the scrotum to take down a large volume of testicular tissues from different regions. Later, it is used to retrieve sperms with the help of a microscope. This way the experts end up finding the highest quality sperms. The procedure is performed under anaesthesia.

Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro TESE)

Along with the PESA, TESA, and TESE, the advancement in the technology has led to another sperm retrieval procedure called Microsurgical testicular sperm extraction or Micro TESE. This process is used to retrieve a small volume of testicular samples from different active regions of testicles with the help of the microscope to further enhance the sperm yield. The procedure has more advantages over the other three procedures of sperm retrieval.

The experts at SCIIVF Noida will guide you to come up with the best treatment to increase the success rate.

In the end, you need to comprehend that there is only a 1% chance that your infertility cannot be treated, so there are fair chances that you and your partner can embrace the happiness of parenthood. You can always consult with the professionals at the SCIIVF to learn how you can fulfil your dream to become parents. For further information visit the website today!

FAILED IVF CYCLE DELHI NCR…Failed IVF can be a devastating situation for parents who have been trying to conceive for such a long time. While in some cases the failure pushes the couple on the edge of depression in other cases, they completely lose hope to become parents. For many parents to be, the situation is not only emotionally but also financially and physically draining. Those who have gone through this phase of life describe it as one of the most difficult times a woman would ever witness in her entire life. However, giving up on the entire process is not a solution, is it? Yes, you can take your time to mourn over your loss but sooner or later you have to overcome your emotional anguish and move forward because one failed IVF doesn’t mean that you cannot embrace the happiness of parenthood. 



After the first failed IVF cycle, the question that usually pop-up in the patient’s mind is if whether or not they can transform this unsuccessful cycle into the successful one. While signing up for the IVF process most of the women fail to understand that IVF is not the magical potion that you will drink and boom… You are pregnant. Just like any other process it also involves risks and chances of failure. But with each IVF cycle, the chances of getting pregnant increase. So, rather than sticking with the failure, it is time to move ahead while learning from the causes of the first failed IVF cycle.




Several factors are responsible for the failure of the IVF cycle including age, ovarian response, sperm quality and more. To make things far easier to understand we have categorized causes into three parts:

  • Lifestyle
  • Uterine
  • Embryo

Let’s dig further to know more about these factors…



As we already know that the pregnancy is contributed 50% from the maternal side that is the uterine side and the remaining is from the embryo side. And alongside this, the environment that surrounds that embryo and the uterus side also play a significant role in the successful IVF. These environmental factors are known as Lifestyle Factors.

Today, most of us struggle between the hassle of work and home and lead a very unhealthy lifestyle which can partially affect our fertility. As the best IVF center in Delhi NCR, the first thing our specialist does is consult with the patients regarding their lifestyle including dietary habits, their schedule, smoking habits (if any), and their weight. 



In studies, it was shown that women who smoke, overweight or underweight are less likely to have a successful IVF because it affects their egg quality, as well as their Endometrial receptivity. So, patients who are overweight are recommended to lose weight by bringing changes in their lifestyle including the dietary changes and incorporating healthy eating habits and exercise, even if the patient loses the 5% of their total weight then, it will contribute by increasing the success rate. 

Along with weight, patients should also avoid smoking as it has been found that smoking has very dangerous effects on the receptivity. Plus, it also affects the quality of the embryos. So, if one of the parents is smoking then, it can seriously affect the chances of conceiving a healthy baby through the IVF treatment. Hence, it is recommended to both men and women to stop smoking 3 months before starting the IVF to reduce the risk of miscarriage or failed IVF cycle. 



Stress also plays a significant role in the failed IVF because when the patient goes through the process, they have various expectations in their mind and they are so stressed out because of the continuous pressure they receive from their peers and family. To avoid unnecessary stress, patients are suggested to practice yoga, meditation and relaxation techniques. It helps to avoid any negative thoughts, stress, and excessive thinking whether they are coming from the workplace, relative or family. 

Making such small changes in the lifestyle can benefits when it comes to IVF treatment. 



In the female, the uterine is the second most important factor that leads to infertility or failure of the IVF process. The fertility specialists at the SCI IVF explain uterus as the bed where the embryo will lie-down and lead to a healthy pregnancy but if the uterus is unhealthy or there is any inflammation or infection in the uterus then, it may lead to embryo rejection and also effect the Endometrial receptivity. So, therefore, it is important to look into the uterine factors to increase the success rate. 

Such patients are subject to the diagnosis tests like ultrasound to detect any pathology which might have been overlooked such as small polyps, and fibroids which may have a negative impact on the Endometrial receptivity. So these pathological conditions are needed to be treated.



Hydrosalpinx is the presence  of toxic fluid in the fallopian tube that may leak into the uterus and may cause embryo rejection.

Treating these tubal pathologies in patients with Hysteroscopy, and laparoscopy can increase the chances of conceiving by 4 times. 




The third and the most important factor which may be responsible for the failed IVF is the embryo quality. A poor embryo may never lead to a healthy pregnancy. The embryo is formed 50% from the sperm and 50% from eggs so, any problem or any flaw at the level of fertilization whether the male partner or female partner has low sperm or egg quality, may lead to the poor embryo formation. Such poor-quality embryos result in the failed IVF. So, both male and female factors should be looked into separately. 




Coming to the male factors, the semen analysis is usually repeated. If any sperm problem is found then, they need to be tackled properly. Advanced tests are also available at the clinic to detect any abnormalities in the semen quality such as DNA fragmentation index. In such patients who are found with the higher DNA Fragmentation Index or high damage in the DNA are counselled for the right treatment to lower the DNA Fragmentation Index and increase the number of quality sperms to fertilize and create healthy embryos. This will not only increase the chances of success of the IVF process but also lead to a healthy pregnancy.




If despite the treatment the DNA Fragmentation Index doesn’t come down then, patients are further counselled for the surgical sperm retrieval as sperms which are surgically retrieved are found to have lower DFI compared to the ejaculated sperm. Apart from all the treatment, the patients are also counselled regarding the changes in their lifestyle factors. They are suggested to follow a healthy lifestyle and quit smoking, lose weight (if overweighed) and avoid stress. 

In the end, all these factors combined with the treatment may result in improved semen quality which will further improve the quality of the embryo. 




In extreme cases where despite the treatment the no improvement in sperm quality found then, such patients are usually counselled for the donor sperm. As the chances of forming healthy embryo with a healthy donor are higher, many couples find it as a great substitute. 



Younger women, less than 35 years of age are found to have high-quality eggs. So, younger the woman, better the egg quality. In studies, it was found that in women after the age of 35 the egg quality starts to decline. For such women with the low egg retrieval, it is usually recommended to go with the ovarian pooling where eggs are pooled through 2 to 3 IVF cycles. Those pooled are later used to form embryos. All of the formed embryos under go preimplantation  genetic testing where they are tested for any genetic abnormality of the chromosome. Delete quality and normality from the line so only healthy embryos are transferred into the female uterus.

So, after correcting the lifestyle, uterine and embryo factors the chance of getting pregnant are very high!

Long-Awaited Child is the story of my 8 year journey to have a family of my own. Our journey began with trying to fall pregnant naturally, to trying IVF several times, to seeking foster care and adoption as an option & finally to surrogacy to have our long-awaited babies. I aspire to make the journey easier for others.

In my story I cover my personal emotions knowing the only option for me to have a baby was to use a donor egg and surrogate. Dealing with infertility can be a lonely and very sad time, I hope my story helps those going through a similar journey to not feel so alone plus to consider other options and not rely on IVF as the only answer. If we had given up after IVF failed in Australia we would not have our gorgeous twins and we are so thankful for your clinic and especially our Surrogate Mother for giving us our family. In my book I have also included some information and research we had done to make our journey easier to hopefully help others.
