Male factors play a part in many couples’ difficulty conceiving, yet they’re often overlooked. We test and treat the male partner with the same care, privacy and respect as the female partner.
Male fertility depends on how many sperm there are, how well they move, and their shape. Problems can come from hormones, blockages, varicocele (enlarged veins), infections, genetics or lifestyle. Most issues can be found with simple tests.
If you’ve been trying for a year (or six months if your partner is over 35), both partners should be tested.
No pregnancy after a year of regular trying.
A previous test showed low count, movement or shape.
Hernia repair, testicular injury or surgery in the past.
Diabetes, hormone problems or past infections.
Azoospermia, where no sperm are found in the sample.
Smoking, heavy alcohol, heat exposure or high stress.
Most men need only a semen test to start. Further steps depend on the results.
A private conversation about your health, history and lifestyle.
A sample is given at the clinic after 2–5 days of abstinence. The test may be repeated to confirm results.
Hormone tests, a scrotal ultrasound or specialised sperm tests, depending on the first results.
Dr. Rekha explains the results and the options that suit you both.
This may be lifestyle changes, medicines, IUI, ICSI, or referral for surgical sperm retrieval.
Many of these factors can be improved or worked around with the right treatment.
How many sperm are in each sample.
How well sperm swim towards the egg.
Normally shaped sperm fertilise more easily.
Testosterone and other hormones control sperm production.
Health conditions and ageing can affect sperm quality.
Smoking, alcohol, weight, heat and stress all play a part.
Our honest approach: A low result doesn’t mean you can’t become a father. Many men with sperm problems have children with the right treatment. Dr. Rekha will explain your results clearly and without judgement.
Most men start with an affordable semen analysis. Further tests and treatment are explained in writing before you go ahead.
Further tests and treatment are quoted separately, after your results.
Dr. Rekha looks at both partners’ results together, so your treatment plan works for you as a couple.
A simple semen test is often all it takes to get started. Leave your details and we’ll call you back.
