Evaluating Both Partners for Parenthood Success

It takes just one sperm to fertilise a woman’s egg and achieve fatherhood. However, in 60% of all couples that experience infertility, the infertile male factor (primarily male factor in 40% and both male and female factors in 20% of cases) may be the reason for infertility. Therefore, when a couple is having trouble conceiving, evaluating both the man and the woman makes sense. Thus, at KD Blossom, our infertility clinic in Ahmedabad focuses on assessing both genders.

Issues with sperm production
are due to several reasons,

such as producing few sperm or no sperm at all.

  • Varicocele
  • Hormonal abnormalities
  • Abnormalities in seminal fluid
  • Ductal blockages
  • Difficulties with erection and ejaculation

Problems with the sperm’s ability to reach the egg and fertilise it—abnormal sperm shape or structure prevents it from moving in the right direction.

Sometimes, a man is born with problems that affect his sperm. Other times, problems start later in life due to illness or injury. For example, male infertility may be caused due to cystic fibrosis.
