Men's special

What the man should know

Infertility in menOver 50% of causes of unfulfilled desires to have children lie with the man - this cannot be doubted. But in every case it is prudent to make use of possibilities offered by Fertility Center Berlin: We will speak with you about the possible causes, we will execute thorough diagnoses and in the end a cause examination - and we will create your treatment plan in cooperation with specialist doctors.

Infertility in men

The most often experienced cause of infertility in men is reduced sperm quality. There can be several reasons for this situation, including as follows:

  • hormonal dysfunctions
  • varicose veins in the testes
  • abnormal location of the testes
  • mumps experienced during childhood
  • diabetes
  • tumours that had been operated on
  • genetic causes
  • stress
  • infections
  • drug and alcohol abuse

 

Reduced sperm quality

There are many types of reduced sperm quality: oligozoospermia, asthenozoospermia, teratozoospermia, cryptozoospermia and azoospermia. These can occur individually, or in combinations.

  • oligozoospermia: the sperm count in the semen is too low (norm: >20 million sperm/ml)
  • asthenozoospermia: the mobility of the sperm is reduced (norm: >50% mobile sperm)
  • teratozoospermia: in the semen there are too few normally formed sperm (norm: >15% normally formed sperm)
  • cryptozoospermia: there are only a few sperms present in the semen
  • azoospermia: the semen has no sperm at all.

If the examination of the semen shows no abnormalities, and if all values are within normal ranges, then this condition is called normozoospermia.

After thorough diagnosis at our centre (spermiogram and blood examination), there follows a search for causes and planning of the treatment in close cooperation with appropriate specialist doctors (human geneticists and urologists), if this seems necessary.
