Infertility is often seen as a woman’s issue, but studies show that male factors contribute to nearly 50% of all infertility cases. Despite this, male reproductive health is frequently overlooked. At New World Fertility, our dedicated andrology services are designed to bridge this gap by offering comprehensive evaluations, diagnosis, and advanced treatments for male infertility.

In this blog, we provide a detailed look at what andrology services entail, how they assist in diagnosing male infertility, and what solutions are available to help men become biological fathers.

What Is Andrology?

Andrology is the medical specialty that focuses on male reproductive health and urological issues. It’s the male counterpart to gynecology. Andrologists specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions that affect male fertility, sexual function, and hormone production.

Some of the common issues treated under andrology include:

• Low sperm count (oligospermia)

• Poor sperm motility or morphology

• Erectile dysfunction (ED)

• Hormonal imbalances (like low testosterone)

• Varicocele

• Ejaculatory dysfunction

• Obstructive azoospermia

• Genetic or structural abnormalities

Why Are Andrology Services Important?

Men often delay seeking help for reproductive issues, sometimes due to stigma or lack of awareness. This delay can impact a couple’s chances of conceiving naturally or through assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Timely intervention through andrology services can:

• Diagnose underlying conditions early

• Improve sperm parameters

• Enhance IVF or ICSI success rates

• Offer natural conception pathways when possible

• Prevent complications like testicular cancer or irreversible infertility

Andrology Services Offered at New World Fertility

At New World Fertility, we provide a wide range of andrology services under one roof. Our team of fertility specialists, urologists, and andrologists work collaboratively to ensure that every patient receives personalized, evidence-based care.

Here’s a closer look at the key andrology services we offer:

1. Male Fertility Evaluation

A complete male fertility assessment involves a combination of medical history review, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. We focus on:

• Semen Analysis – Assesses sperm count, motility, and morphology

• Hormonal Profile – Includes testosterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin levels

• Scrotal Ultrasound – Checks for varicocele or structural anomalies

• Genetic Testing – Especially important in cases of azoospermia or recurrent IVF failure

2. Advanced Semen Analysis & Sperm Function Tests

Beyond basic semen analysis, we offer advanced sperm function tests like:

• DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) – Measures sperm DNA integrity

• Sperm Vitality Test – Determines live sperm percentage

• Sperm Morphology Analysis (Kruger’s strict criteria)

These tests help us identify subtle male factors that can affect embryo quality and IVF success.

3. Surgical Interventions

Our expert andrology team performs minimally invasive surgeries for male infertility, including:

• Varicocelectomy – Surgical repair of varicocele to improve sperm quality

• Vasectomy Reversal

• Testicular Sperm Aspiration (TESA)

• Micro-TESE – Used in non-obstructive azoospermia to retrieve sperm

• Ejaculatory Duct Resection

4. Sperm Retrieval Techniques for IVF/ICSI

In cases where sperm is absent in the ejaculate (azoospermia), we offer several sperm retrieval options:

• PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)

• TESA

• Micro-TESE

These techniques allow couples to proceed with ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) even in the most complex cases.

5. Hormonal Therapy and Medication

When the issue is hormonal in nature, our specialists prescribe targeted hormonal treatments to boost sperm production and sexual function. Medications may include:

• Clomiphene citrate

• hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin)

• Aromatase inhibitors

• Testosterone therapy (only when fertility preservation is not a concern)

6. Lifestyle Counseling and Nutritional Support

Factors such as stress, poor diet, alcohol, smoking, and obesity can impair male fertility. Our andrology services also include lifestyle modification programs, including:

• Diet planning for sperm health

• Antioxidant supplementation

• Exercise routines

• Mental health support

7. Sexual Dysfunction Management

Issues like erectile dysfunction or premature ejaculation are addressed with:

• Oral medications (like PDE5 inhibitors)

• Hormonal treatments

• Counseling and psychotherapy

• Penile prosthesis (in severe cases)

Who Should See an Andrologist?

You should consult our andrology team at New World Fertility if:

• You’ve been trying to conceive for over 12 months without success

• You’ve had multiple failed IVF or ICSI cycles

• You experience sexual dysfunction

• You have a history of undescended testes, mumps orchitis, or varicocele

• You had cancer treatment or radiation

Early evaluation and treatment can significantly improve outcomes for couples struggling with infertility.

Our andrology services are seamlessly integrated with advanced ART procedures like:

This multidisciplinary approach enhances treatment efficiency and success rates.
