Male Infertility Treatments Offered By the Expert Doctor



Dr. Niren Rao determines the best course of treatment for the patient after a thorough examination. The treatment options for various infertility concerns/diseases is discussed below include:


Obstructive Azoospermia and Its Treatment


Obstructive azoospermia refers to a blockage in the ducts that transport sperm. This can be due to various causes, including infection, inflammation, or congenital disabilities. Treatment options include surgery to repair the blockage or in-vitro fertilization (IVF).


Infection or inflammation of the testicles, epididymis, or vas deferens can lead to obstructive azoospermia. Infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea are common causes of this condition. Inflammation may be caused by autoimmune conditions such as scleroderma or vasculitis. Congenital disabilities, such as absent vas deferens, can cause obstructive azoospermia.


Treatment for obstructive azoospermia typically involves surgery to repair the blockage. For example, the doctor may prescribe antibiotics if the blockage is due to infection. The doctor may prescribe immunosuppressive drugs if the blockage is due to inflammation. Surgery may sometimes be needed to repair the damage caused by infection or inflammation.


Note: In vitro fertilization (IVF) is another treatment option for obstructive azoospermia. IVF involves retrieving sperm from the testicles and injecting them into an egg in the laboratory. The resulting embryo is then transferred to the uterus for implantation. IVF can be successful even if there is significant damage to the reproductive system.


Blockage in the Vas Deferens and VEA (Vaso-Epididymal Anastomosis) Surgery


The vaso-epididymal anastomosis is a surgical procedure used to repair a blockage in the vas deferens, the tube that carries sperm from the testicles to the penis. The VEA is often done with a vasectomy, a surgery to block the vas deferens and prevent pregnancy.


The VEA is performed by making a small incision in the scrotum and locating the blockage in the vas deferens. Once the blockage is found, the surgeon will make an incision in the epididymis, the small tube surrounding the vas deferens. The surgeon will then sew the two ends of the vas deferens together, creating a new path for sperm to travel.


The VEA is considered a low-risk surgery and has a high success rate. Complications from the surgery are rare but can include infection, bleeding, or damage to surrounding tissue. These infections subside with time.


Non-Obstructive Azoospermia


Azoospermia is a medical condition in which there is a complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate. There are two types of azoospermia: obstructive and non-obstructive. Obstructive azoospermia is caused by blockages in the reproductive tract that prevent sperm from being ejaculated. Non-obstructive azoospermia is caused by problems with the testicles that prevent them from producing sperm. Treatment for Non-Obstructive Azoospermia is offered by Dr. Niren Rao using the advanced techniques.


PESA


PESA is a surgical procedure in which sperm is extracted from the testicles. The sperm is then used to fertilize an egg outside of the body. This procedure is typically used when a man has a low sperm count or when the sperm are not able to travel through the reproductive tract.


TESA


The testicular self-examination, or TESA, is a simple way for men to check their testicles for lumps or other changes that could be signs of testicular cancer. This exam takes only a few minutes only.


Micro-TESSE



A major cause of male infertility is the insufficient sperm count and their mobility. As a result, urologists use Micro-Tesse procedure for males unable to release good quality sperm naturally.  The urologist extracts the fertile sperms from the male’s reproductive tract and prepare it for IVF . 


The above-mentioned are some of the infertility treatments used by the doctor. One experiencing male infertility can visit Dr Niren Rao's Urology Practice. One can get consulted by Dr Niren Rao, the best urologist in Delhi. He will examine the reproductive tract and determine the cause of infertility.
