When a couple is struggling with infertility due to the male counterpart, it is called male factor infertility. There is nothing to worry as there are plenty of male fertility treatments a couple can opt for. Let us explore some more facts here.

Infertility

85% of the couples get successful in getting pregnant within one year of trying. Those who do not are labelled as infertile. Fertility declines with age as well and thus, for couples over 35 years of age may have problems in conceiving a baby. Fertility is determined by a number of factors that includes sperm quality, hormone health or any other structural issues that may impact the sperm to fertilize the eggs. Before you step on the path of parenthood, it is good to talk with your doctor and know about the various testing options.

The first place to start, which is relatively quick and cost-effective is the semen analysis. There is a low sperm count even in healthy and fertile men. There is no reason for the decline in the sperm count of men and thus, it makes it more important to get the sperm analysed on time.

How do you determine sperm quality?

Sperm quality provides a window into the overall health and well-being. It is impacted negatively by lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol consumption and it can improved by good diet, sleep and exercise. The sperm count tends to decrease with age.

However, sperm quality is not the only determiner of fertility, but there are other potential problems that may be affecting conception. You need to think about count, morphology and motility.

Talk to your doctor about the male fertility treatment you can opt for.
