How is male infertility treated?
Male infertility is most often treated by conventional methods that include one or more of the following:
1. Taking medications to help increase sperm production
2. Taking antibiotics to heal an infection
3. Taking hormones to improve hormone imbalance
4. Avoiding taking long hot showers, using hot tubs or saunas
5. Wearing looser underwear such as boxer shorts versus jockey shorts
Sperm production may also improve by taking clinically proven supplements. Anything that increases the number of healthy sperm increases the chances of conception. Many health food stores and vitamin shops offer male fertility supplements.
An artificial insemination is an option if the man’s sperm count is low. In this procedure, sperm is collected through multiple ejaculations. They are then manually placed in the female’s uterus or fallopian tubes.
In vitro fertilization is another option that can be used to overcome male infertility factors. In this procedure, the sperm and egg are fertilized in a laboratory after which the fertilized egg is placed in the female’s uterus.
If tests show that there is no sperm production or that other related problems are present, donor sperm can be used to help facilitate conception. In this procedure, donor sperm are obtained from a sperm bank and placed inside the female’s uterus or fallopian tubes through artificial insemination.
