IVF may be used for certain types of male infertility, such as those with
slightly reduced sperm counts or anti-sperm antibodies, a form of immune
infertility, with IVF
relatively fewer motile sperm are required for oocyte fertilisation because the
natural transport barriers are bypassed; moreover IVF increases the number of
sperms in
contact with multiple oocytes from superovulation. However there now exist a
number of more specialised options for treating severe male infertility.
The male genital tract includes the testes, the epididymis, the vas, the
prostate and urethra. The testes situated in the scrotum are mainly made up of
loops of fine tubes
(seminiferous tubules) which produce the sperm. The sperm cells mature as they
pass through the epidiymis (a narrow system of tubes on the surface of the
testes). The
vas is a hollow tube, which carries the sperm from the epididymis to the
urethra.
It takes 3 - 4 months for sperm to develop, during this time sperm production
may be affected by febrile illness, exposure to drugs, toxins, radiation, local
trauma or infection.

Is effective in overcoming a variety of infertility problems, particularly tubal
problems or marked sperm problems. In this procedure the ova are fertilized
outside the body using
partners sperms & then the fertilized embryos are placed back into the uterus
transvaginally.
Sperm motility appears to be one of the most important factors in determining
the fertilizing capability of sperm. Even with a low sperm count, many men with
highly motile
sperm may still be fertile. A semen analysis is the study of a freshly
ejaculated semen sample. This analysis measures the number of sperm present in
the ejaculate (sperm
count) and checks the shape and size (morphology) of sperm and their motility.
The semen analysis is not an absolute test for fertility because it does not
test certain
important aspects of sperm function, such as whether sperm can actually
penetrate the egg; however, it is very useful in initially determining if the
cause of infertility is an
obvious male factor.
Semen testing is performed using a fresh semen specimen within 2 hours of
collection. The specimen is obtained through masturbation and is collected in a
container
provided by the physician. Semen for this analysis should not be obtained by
interrupted intercourse or by use of an ordinary condom. Ordinary condoms
contain
substances that are toxic to sperm. If religious or personal practices prohibit
masturbation or if the patient feels uncomfortable, the physician may suggest
using a special
condom designed for specimen collection that does not damage sperm. Feeling
anxious about producing a specimen is common. Any questions or concerns should
be
discussed with a physician.
