Signs and causes of male infertility
Most men with fertility problems have no obvious symptoms. The problem is usually found through a semen analysis. Common causes include:
- Low sperm count, low movement (motility) or abnormal shape of sperm
- Varicocele (swollen veins in the scrotum)
- Past infections, including mumps after puberty
- Diabetes, thyroid or hormone problems
- Smoking, tobacco, alcohol and obesity
- Heat exposure — tight underwear, long hours on a bike, or hot work environments
- Erectile or ejaculation problems that prevent intercourse
How we help
- Consultation for the couple — understanding how long you have been trying, your health and your partner’s tests.
- Semen analysis review — we explain your report in simple language.
- Ayurvedic medicines to support sperm health and general strength, where suitable.
- Lifestyle changes — diet, weight, avoiding heat, quitting tobacco and alcohol. Sperm take about three months to develop, so these changes matter.
- Treatment of related problems such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation.
Honest advice: Some causes of infertility — for example, no sperm in the semen, a blocked tube or a large varicocele — need specialist tests or procedures. If that is the case, Dr. S. Bairagi will tell you clearly and guide you to the right specialist, so you don’t lose valuable time.
Frequently asked questions
When should we see a doctor for infertility?
If you have been trying for 12 months without success (or 6 months if the woman is over 35), both partners should be checked. See a doctor earlier if you know of a health problem.
Which test should a man do first?
A semen analysis is the first and most important test. Avoid ejaculation for 2–5 days before the test for an accurate result.
How long does treatment take to show results?
Because new sperm take about three months to form, improvements are usually checked with a repeat semen test after about three months of treatment and lifestyle changes.
