Start your journey to restore your fertility with confidence — under the supervision of Dr. Yaman Al-Tal
Male infertility is a common medical condition that affects a couple’s ability to conceive. More than one-third of infertility cases are due to a male factor, where the problem often lies in sperm production or in the sperm’s ability to reach and fertilize the egg. The causes of male infertility vary between hormonal problems, genetic disorders, and infections of the reproductive system.
The good news is that a large percentage of male infertility cases are treatable today, as many effective treatment options are available. The success of treatment depends on identifying the exact cause of infertility and starting the appropriate therapy under specialized medical supervision.

Causes of Male Infertility
Under normal conditions, semen contains about 20 million sperm per milliliter. For pregnancy to occur, at least some sperm must be able to move properly to reach the fallopian tube where the egg is located. Any problem that affects this journey and prevents sperm from reaching the egg causes infertility or delayed pregnancy.
Signs and Symptoms
Patients inquire about the advantages and disadvantages of penile implants, as penile implant surgery has many positives, the most important of which are:
Problems with sexual function such as erectile dysfunction or difficulty achieving an erection
Premature ejaculation or inability to ejaculate
Pain or swelling in the testicular area
Decreased sexual desire due to hormonal disorders
Changes in hair growth or voice (in cases of severe hormonal deficiency)
Diagnosis of Infertility
Infertility can be diagnosed in either the man or the woman by consulting a specialist in andrology and a gynecologist. Diagnosis begins with a complete physical examination to determine overall health status.
Common diagnostic tests:
Semen analysis: measures sperm count, motility, and morphology
Hormonal analysis: to measure testosterone levels and other hormones related to sperm production
Ultrasound: to examine the testicles and reproductive organs
Testicular biopsy: in some cases to evaluate sperm production
Genetic tests: to detect hereditary disorders associated with infertility
The doctor may also ask questions about medical history, daily habits, and sexual history to help determine the cause of infertility.

Medications to improve erection and treat ejaculation problems
Surgical Interventions
Varicocele repair

FAQs About Erectile Dysfunction
Can male infertility be treated?
Yes. In most cases, it can be treated successfully after accurately identifying the cause. Sperm production may improve after treating varicocele, infections, or hormonal disorders, and modern techniques such as ICSI can be used in complex cases.
What are the most common causes of infertility?
The most common causes of male infertility are low sperm production, decreased sperm count, or poor sperm motility. Varicocele is also a frequent cause, in addition to hormonal disorders, infections, blockage of the sperm ducts, and certain genetic or lifestyle factors such as smoking and obesity.
Is natural conception possible after varicocele treatment?
Yes. Many men have been able to conceive after treating varicocele with microsurgical surgery, as sperm quality and count noticeably improve a few months after the operation.
When is infertility testing recommended?
Testing is recommended if pregnancy does not occur after one year of regular marriage, or after only 6 months if the wife is over 35 years old.
How is the cause of infertility diagnosed?
Diagnosis starts with semen analysis, then hormonal tests, and ultrasound imaging of the testicles. A testicular biopsy may be performed in cases of absent sperm to determine whether extraction is possible.
What is sperm extraction surgery (TESE / Micro-TESE)?
It is a precise procedure used to extract sperm directly from the testicle when it does not appear in the semen, and it is then used in ICSI to fertilize the egg.
Can age affect male fertility?
Yes. With age, sperm count and quality may decrease, and the likelihood of genetic mutations increases. لذلك early diagnosis is preferred when conception is delayed.
What are the chances of success after treatment?
It varies by case, but with accurate diagnosis and regular follow-up with a specialist consultant such as Dr. Yaman Al-Tal, the chances of having children reach very high rates—either naturally or with the help of modern fertility techniques.
