To identify the causes of infertility, both men and women must undergo comprehensive examinations. Accurate diagnosis based on these examinations is crucial for successful treatment. In recent years, male reproductive dysfunction has become a topic of significant medical and social importance. Globally, male infertility accounts for an average of 30–50% of cases. Male infertility is often caused by various pathological processes in the body or the influence of epigenetic factors.
Main Causes of Male Reproductive Dysfunction
- Varicocele and infectious-inflammatory diseases of the genitourinary system
- Congenital abnormalities of the sexual organs (e.g., cryptorchidism, hypospadias)
- Disorders in seminal fluid production
- Immunological factors
- Diseases of other organs and systems (e.g., tuberculosis, liver cirrhosis, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, mumps and its complication orchitis, chronic kidney failure, etc.)
- Surgeries on the genitourinary organs (e.g., inguinal hernia, hydrocele, bladder surgeries, urethral strictures)
- Use of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, hormone therapy, sulfanilamide, nitrofuran antibiotics, tranquilizers, and antihypertensive drugs
- Use of narcotic substances
- Sexual and ejaculatory disorders
- Endocrine factors (primary and secondary hypogonadism, hyperprolactinemia, testosterone deficiency)
Factors Contributing to Male Infertility
- Common external intoxications (e.g., alcohol consumption, smoking)
- Occupational intoxications (e.g., exposure to organic and inorganic substances, radiation)
- Heat factors (working in extreme temperatures or prolonged vibration)
- Trauma to the sexual organs
- Unbalanced diet
- Psychological stress
Diagnosis of Male Infertility
Timely consultation with a doctor can help prevent more serious issues and ensure complete treatment. An andrologist’s examination is essential at the initial stage to assess medical history and identify risk factors for infertility. The spermogram analysis is the primary test for evaluating male reproductive health.
Preparation for spermogram analysis:
- Sexual abstinence for 48–72 hours before the test.
- Avoiding alcohol consumption, strong medications, and visits to saunas or baths, as these factors can affect the results.
- If pathological changes are detected in the ejaculate, the test should be repeated after two weeks.
Tests Included in the Check-up Package:
- Clinical urine analysis
- Clinical smear analysis
- Mycoplasma genitalium PCR
- Mycoplasma hominis PCR
- Chlamydia trachomatis PCR
- Ureaplasma ur/parv PCR
- Gardnerella vaginalis PCR
- Anti-HCV, HBsAg, Anti-HIV, Syphilis (express tests)
- Total testosterone
- Prolactin
- Spermogram analysis
- Urological ultrasound
- Testicular ultrasound
