What is Male Infertility?

Male infertility is more common than many realize, contributing to nearly 50% of all infertility cases. At Reproductive Partners San Diego (RPSD), we specialize in diagnosing and treating male fertility issues with advanced techniques and compassionate care. Whether you’re just starting to explore your fertility or seeking specialized treatments, our team is here to help.

Common Causes of Male Infertility

Male infertility can stem from a variety of factors, including:

Sperm Disorders

Low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology can hinder conception.

Hormonal Imbalances

Conditions like low testosterone or pituitary disorders can affect sperm production.

Varicocele

Enlarged veins in the scrotum can raise testicular temperature, impacting sperm health.

Genetic Conditions

Chromosomal abnormalities such as Klinefelter syndrome can lead to fertility issues.

Lifestyle & Environmental Factors

Smoking, excessive alcohol use, obesity, and exposure to toxins can reduce fertility.

Medical Conditions & Treatments

Diabetes, infections, and cancer treatments (like chemotherapy) can affect sperm production and function.

Treatment Options for Male Infertility

Once the cause of male infertility is identified, our experts develop personalized treatment plans. Options include:

1

Lifestyle Modifications

Improving diet, reducing stress, quitting smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight can enhance fertility.

2

Medications & Hormone Therapy

Correcting hormonal imbalances can improve sperm production.

3

Varicocele Repair

Surgical procedures can improve sperm quality in men with varicoceles.

4

Surgical Sperm Retrieval

Techniques like TESE and Micro-TESE retrieve sperm directly from the testes for use in assisted reproductive treatments.

5

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) – Sperm is placed directly into the uterus to increase the chances of fertilization.
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) with ICSI – A single healthy sperm is injected directly into an egg to facilitate fertilization.
Sperm Freezing (Cryopreservation) – Preserves sperm for future use, an option for men undergoing medical treatments that may affect fertility.

Male Fertility Preservation

For men who want to safeguard their fertility, sperm freezing is a proactive solution. Whether you’re planning for the future, undergoing medical treatments, or in a high-risk profession, RPSD provides secure, long-term sperm cryopreservation services.
