Evaluating and diagnosing male infertility

Male infertility treatment begins with a full semen analysis to determine whether issues achieving pregnancy could be due to low sperm count or poor quality. You will provide a semen sample at one of our four locations in a comfortable environment where you won’t be rushed. Some patients may also qualify for the use of at-home semen collection kits.


After analyzing the sample we can determine whether male infertility might be a factor in your specific case, and if so, what to do next. Part of your treatment plan may be to abstain from drinking, smoking, and drugs and to maintain a healthy diet and exercise regularly among other specifics you’ll discuss with your care team. These lifestyle changes can take 2-3 months to have a positive effect.

 

Sometimes male infertility can be solved with assisted reproductive technology, such as IUI or IVF. In other cases, we may refer you to a urologist who can conduct a thorough hormonal and structural evaluation.

You’ve got questions, we’ve got answers.

There are many potential causes of male infertility. Your semen analysis will test for sperm quantity and quality. Once you have completed your semen analysis, your doctor will review it with you. If there are any abnormal results, your doctor in conjunction with a reproductive urologist, will help evaluate and treat these abnormalities.


  • Varicocele: This condition involves an enlargement of the veins in the scrotum which causes issues with temperature regulation of the testicles and can affect the quality of sperm
  • Genetic conditions: There are several genetic conditions that cause male infertility such as Klinfelter’s syndrome, cystic fibrosis, SRY gene mutations, and others. Your doctor will discuss if you should be evaluated for these conditions and what risk there is that your offspring may have the same condition. 
  • Hormonal imbalance: Hormonal imbalance can stem from many different systems in the body. There are a number of hormones that affect male fertility including testosterone.
  • Environmental factors: Many larger environmental factors and lifestyle choices affect male fertility. Drinking, smoking, and drug use can lower sperm count and affect quality. Your doctor and support team are there to discuss ways to promote fertility day-to-day which can make a huge difference on your path to a healthy pregnancy.
  • Idiopathic: After an evaluation, there may be no reason found as the cause of the abnormal semen parameters. Unfortunately, this can be the case most of the time.  While there may be no known cause, there are several treatment options that may help you conceive. Our Dallas IVF physicians would be happy to guide you through those options.
