Studies show that sexual�dysfunction�is present in about 20-25% of infertile couples. Adequate sexual function�can�contribute to the success of�fertility�treatments although most men with male infertility do not notice symptoms other than the inability to conceive a child, signs and symptoms associated with male infertility include: problems with sexual function ? for example, difficulty with ejaculation or small volumes of fluid ejaculated, reduced sexual desire, or difficulty maintaining an erection (erectile dysfunction) pain, swelling or a lump in the testicle area recurrent respiratory infections inability to smell abnormal breast growth (gynecomastia) decreased facial or body hair or other signs of a chromosomal or hormonal abnormality a lower than normal sperm count (fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen or a total sperm count of less than 39 million per ejaculate) male fertility is a complex process. To get your partner pregnant, the following must occur: you must produce healthy sperm.�initially, this involves the growth and formation of the male reproductive organs during puberty. At least one of your testicles must be functioning correctly, and your body must produce testosterone and other hormones to trigger and maintain sperm production. Sperm have to be carried into the semen.�once sperm are produced in the testicles, delicate tubes transport them until they mix with semen and are ejaculated out of the penis. There needs to be enough sperm in the semen.�if the number of sperm in your semen (sperm count) is low, it decreases the odds that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner's egg. A low sperm count is fewer than 15 million sperm per milliliter of semen or fewer than 39 million per ejaculate. Sperm must be functional and able to move.�if the movement (motility) or function of your sperm is abnormal, the sperm may not be able to reach or penetrate your partner's egg. Treatments for male infertility include: surgery.�for example, a varicocele can often be surgically corrected or an obstructed vas deferens repaired. Prior vasectomies can be reversed. In cases where no sperm are present in the ejaculate, sperm can often be retrieved directly from the testicles or epididymis using sperm-retrieval techniques. Treating infections.�antibiotic treatment might cure an infection of the reproductive tract, but doesn't always restore fertility. Treatments for sexual intercourse problems.�medication or counseling can help improve fertility in conditions such as erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation. Hormone treatments and medications.�your doctor might recommend hormone replacement or medications in cases where infertility is caused by high or low levels of certain hormones or problems with the way the body uses hormones. Assisted reproductive technology (art).�art treatments involve obtaining sperm through normal ejaculation, surgical extraction or from donor individuals, depending on your specific case and wishes. The sperm are then inserted into the female genital tract, or used to perform in vitro fertilization or intracytoplasmic sperm injection.
