✅ Introduction
Infertility is not just a female concern—nearly 40–50% of infertility cases involve male factors. Among the most common issues are Azoospermia (no sperm), Oligospermia (low sperm count), and Asthenospermia (low sperm motility).
These conditions often go unnoticed until a couple begins trying to conceive. Fortunately, Dr. Arun, a highly qualified sexologist and andrologist in Agra, offers scientific, personalized, and confidential solutions for male infertility.
🔍 Understanding the Terms
🔹 Azoospermia
Complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate. It affects about 1% of the male population and 10–15% of infertile men.
🔹 Oligospermia
Sperm concentration is below 15 million per mL of semen. The lower the count, the harder it becomes to conceive naturally.
🔹 Asthenospermia
Also called asthenozoospermia, it refers to reduced sperm motility. Even if the sperm count is normal, sperm that cannot swim properly cannot fertilize an egg.
📊 Common Symptoms
These sperm disorders often do not show visible symptoms, but may present with:
Difficulty conceiving after 12 months of unprotected intercourse
Watery or low-volume semen
Low libido or erectile dysfunction
Testicular pain or swelling
Hormonal imbalance signs (low muscle mass, fatigue, breast development)
Psychological distress or depression
Even healthy-looking men may have abnormal semen parameters, which is why testing is crucial.
🧪 Diagnostic Process at Dr. Arun’s Clinic
Dr. Arun follows a step-by-step, non-invasive, and confidential diagnostic approach:
Semen Analysis (gold standard):
Sperm count, motility, shape (morphology), and semen volume
Hormonal Panel:
Testosterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin levels
Scrotal Ultrasound:
Check for varicocele, testicular size, and blockages
Genetic Testing (in azoospermia)
Urine & Culture Tests (to detect infections)
Testicular Biopsy (in select azoospermia cases)
🧠 Causes of Sperm Disorders
