Expert articles about Male Infertility from our specialists.
What zero sperm count (azoospermia) means, its causes, how it is diagnosed, and the treatments and sperm retrieval options that can still lead to fatherhood.
How exercise to increase sperm count works, the best workouts for male fertility, habits that harm sperm, and tips for training safely in Chennai's heat.
The best foods to increase sperm count and quality: eggs, fish, nuts, seeds, greens, with South Indian meal plans, foods to avoid and when to get tested.
How low testosterone affects male fertility, the signs to watch for, why testosterone therapy can stop sperm production, and safe treatment options.
Not every varicocele needs surgery. See when repair helps fertility, how microsurgery, embolisation and IVF/ICSI compare, and when sperm improves.
A sperm DNA fragmentation (DFI) test shows how many sperm carry broken DNA. High levels can follow heat, smoking or varicocele and are often treatable.
Erectile dysfunction and infertility often overlap, but ED rarely means poor sperm. Stress, diabetes and low testosterone are common causes, and IUI can help.
Antisperm antibodies are immune proteins that stick to sperm, making them clump and swim poorly. A MAR test confirms them, and ICSI usually overcomes them.
Long driving can lower sperm count a little through seat heat and sitting, but tobacco, weight and sleep matter as much. Most effects reverse in about 3 months.
Retrograde ejaculation means semen flows back into the bladder, causing a dry orgasm. It is harmless, and sperm can be recovered from urine for IUI or ICSI.
The AZF microdeletion test is a blood test for missing Y chromosome genes in men with zero or very low sperm. AZFc often still has sperm; AZFa/b usually not.
Heat and sperm count are linked: testes work 2-4°C below body heat. Regular heat at work or home can lower count and motility, often recovering in 3 months.
Klinefelter syndrome (47,XXY) means a man has an extra X chromosome. It often shows up as zero sperm, yet micro-TESE finds sperm for ICSI in about half of men.
Infertility means no pregnancy after 12 months of trying (6 if 35+). Sterility means permanent inability to conceive. Most infertile couples are not sterile.

A sperm test (semen analysis) checks count, motility and shape. See the WHO normal sperm count range, how to read your report, and what to do if it is low.
