Sperm Concentration>15 million / ml
Sperm Motility>40%
Sperm Morphology>4% normal forms
Leucocyte density<1 million /ml

Male Infertility Treatment Options

Hormone Treatments

Infertility expert doctor recommends hormone replacement or medications in cases where infertility is caused by high or low levels of certain hormones or problems with the way the body uses hormones.

Infection Treatment

Antibiotic treatment might cure an infection of the reproductive tract, but doesn’t always restore fertility.

Treatments for Sexual Intercourse Problems:

On conditions such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation, medication or counseling can help improve fertility. 

Surgery:

For example, a Varicocele can often be surgically corrected or an obstructed vas deferens repaired. Prior vasectomies can be reversed. In cases where no sperm is present in the ejaculate, sperm can often be retrieved directly from the testicles using sperm retrieval techniques (TESA/MESA/PESA techniques).

Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART):

ART treatments involve obtaining sperm through normal ejaculation, surgical extraction or from donor individuals, depending on your specific case and wishes. The sperm is then inserted into the female genital tract (IUI), or used to perform in vitro fertilization (IVF) or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).
