What treatments exist for male infertility?

Causes of infertility in men

The main factors that can alter male fertility are:

  • Pretesticular or endocrine factor: is caused by a problem in the production and / or release of male hormones that regulate spermatogenesis or the development of the male sex organs.
  • Testicular factor: the pathology is found specifically in the testicle, which, for genetic or acquired reasons, does not produce sperm correctly.
  • Post-testicular factor: in this case the problem is caused by an obstruction or blockage in the seminal pathways that lead the sperm from the testicle to the urethra.
  • Sperm factor: infertility caused by alterations in sperm characteristics such as concentration, morphology and / or mobility.

Artificial insemination

This technique of assisted reproduction is a fertility treatment of low complexity. The sample of semen, processed in the laboratory, is deposited through a cannula in the uterine fund, waiting for fertilization to occur by itself.

Artificial insemination is indicated in cases of mild infertility. Generally, the seminal sample must meet these criteria:

  • REM (mobile sperm count) greater than 3 million mobile sperm after seminal training.
  • Normal sperm morphology according to WHO criteria (> 4%).

However, these requirements to carry out the AI ??vary depending on the criteria of each clinic.

You can find all the information about this technique in the following link: Artificial insemination.
