Compared to the years when our grandparents were young, the number of infertile couples has significantly increased. And while many people blame women for everything, it is often the man who is the "culprit."
It is important to note that the causes can be very diverse and manifest in different ways, ranging from low "quality" of sperm and reduced motility to testicular dysfunction.
Causes
All possible factors can be conditionally divided into congenital or genetically acquired and acquired. Congenital factors include hypospadias, congenital underdevelopment of the testes or their absence (the second option is extremely rare), failure of the testes to descend into the scrotum, and urethral stricture. Among acquired causes, hormonal disorders, scrotal injuries, surgical treatment of inguinal hernia, infectious diseases (infectious mumps, influenza, tuberculosis, syphilis, malaria, etc.), obesity, stress, diabetes, alcoholism, smoking, etc. can be highlighted.
Diagnosis of Male Infertility in Israel
The treatment of male infertility in Israel primarily includes the diagnosis of the condition for accurate diagnosis. Doctors conduct hormone tests, ultrasound, postcoital tests, sperm analysis, tests for antisperm antibodies, etc. Note that the diagnostic process should proceed according to a plan, gradually. It should not be a chaotic set of studies. Otherwise, the results of the examinations may become invalid after some time, and they will need to be "redone."
Treatment of Male Infertility in Israel
The treatment of male infertility in Israel includes the elimination of infectious diseases, stimulation of spermatogenesis, insemination with partner's sperm, and in vitro fertilization. Naturally, the doctor will not apply all these methods; he will choose one (or several) for a successful outcome.
Prevention
The first thing that is essential to do to prevent male infertility is to give up bad habits such as alcohol consumption or excessive use of medications, eliminate stress, and quit smoking. In addition, do not forget about proper, balanced nutrition and moderate physical activity. Periodic visits to a urologist will also help prevent the disease and detect problems at an early stage.
