What is varicocele and its relation to male infertility

Varicocele and its relation to male infertility

by adminon 8 January 2020in male infertility

Certainly, your IVF doctor will tell you the causes of male infertility. Varicocele is one of them.. In this condition, the man’s scrotum is affected. It is known to occur usually on the left side. Varicocele may be without any symptoms or maybe painful, accompanied by swelling. According to the IVF centre, it may lead to male infertility in many cases.

Occurrence of Varicocele

The testes receive fresh oxygen supply by the blood which is carried by an artery. The used blood flows through small veins, which carry it back to the heart. The flow is one-way, and the reverse flow is prevented by the valves in the veins. When the valves stop working properly, the blood starts flowing in the reverse direction. This leads to the enlargement of veins thus forming a Varicocele.

The symptoms of Varicocele

Sometimes the condition  may strike silently and the  symptoms may be absent . However, some Varicoceles might cause a dull pain, when the person has been standing for a long time. Varicocele may cause infertility in some individuals. It might lead to shrinkage or atrophy in some men and low testosterone levels.

Diagnosis of Varicocele 

Self-exam of the scrotum is the easiest way to diagnose a varicocele. If your scrotum feels like a “bag of worms”, you indeed are under suspicion of having the condition. The same can be confirmed by USG Doppler.

The treatment of Varicocele 

Men with mild symptoms should take care through the following steps-

  • Avoiding wearing tight underwear
  • Avoiding heavy weight lifting

If these steps do not help, then Varicocele treatment may be done with embolization or surgery.

Varicocele Surgery

Many surgical approaches can be used to close the faulty veins and treat Varicocele. You may try Open surgery, laparoscopic surgery , and microsurgery options.

Complications with the surgery

Although Varicocele surgery has few risks associated with it, we would like to mention some:

  • Accumulation of fluid around the testicles.
  • It might also lead to the shrinking of the testicle on the side where the surgery was performed. However, this complication is seen in less than 1% of cases.
  • In some cases, failure to relieve pain might be seen

What is the best treatment option?

It will help if you discuss your treatment options with the doctor. Some questions to ask include:

What are the risks and benefits of surgery and other methods like Embolisation?

Is Varicocele surgery a viable option for me?

How many days do I need to take off from the office?

by adminon 1 October 2019in male infertility

Obesity has become an issue on a global level. The phenomena have risen greatly. A large percentage of the population is struggling with obesity. The global health issue has cast its effect on the wellbeing of the existing generations by increasing their chances of developing lifestyle diseases. However, that is not the only side effect of obesity. It is wreaking havoc with the reproductive health of both men and women. It has negatively impacted the health of both the males and females. According to various studies conducted, it has been found that obesity has detrimental effects on the fertility of humans. In this post, we intend to throw light on the connection between male reproductive health and obesity. Male infertility can lead to the requirement of IVF. According to IVF doctor, the treatment for infertility is available for such couples. Such couples can benefit from ICSI  treatment.

  1. The relation between sperm and obesity 

Obesity has been found to negatively influence sperm quality. According to research, obesity is directly responsible for DNA damage and change in the molecular and physiological framework of the testes and sperm. Due to these changes, the offspring can suffer genetic anomalies.

  1. Obesity and health of the offspring

We have already discussed that obesity hurts sperm quality. It is also worth mentioning that the obesity traits can be transferred from the parents to the offspring along with the problems. It could lead to several lifestyle diseases like diabetes and cardiac problems.

  1. Obesity’s influence on fertilization 

Female obesity results in a change in the structure of oocyte which leads to a negative impact on embryo development. It also leads to a decreased chance of establishment of pregnancy, more so in IVF.

  1. Effect of Obesity on DNA integrity

Successful fertilization requires high integrity of the sperm DNA as it is crucial for the embryo development. Obesity leads to poor DNA integrity of the sperm which leads to poor chances of conception in his female partner. The result is obviously poor fertility.

What to do about it?

Both men and women should consider the problem of obesity seriously. They have to work out a solution for their infertility. The modern lifestyle which is full of mental stress and devoid of physical activity has tipped the scales of our health, balance, and fertility. The effect can be seen in the form of decreased chances of conception. The treatment offered by the medical facilities has revolutionized the way the infertile couples are treated. Still, we need to fight obesity for ensuring our wellbeing and having a disease-free status in the later years of our life.

Does Cycling Affect Mens Sperm Count and Male Fertility?

by adminon 25 May 2019in Low Sperm Count, male infertility

We all know how important it is to maintain good overall health so that sperm production is not affected. This is why it is essential for men to stay healthy and fit. For this doing, cycling will help you to get in proper shape. Moreover, it will also help you to get in the regular daily routine of doing a workout which will make you fit and keep your weight normal.

But, keep this thing in mind that while cycling the seat should be comfortable otherwise the sperm count will be affected. You can say that it is one of the reasons for male infertility.

How does the bike seat create an issue?

Cycling can affect the sperm count because the bike seat will increase the scrotal temperature. Additionally, around 30 to 40% of body weight is applied to the perineum directly.  It is a sensitive region between the genitals and backside.

A study conducted at National Institute of Occupational Safety by a reproductive physiologist which was based on police officers who are riding a bicycle.

According to the doctor, that body part should not bear any type of pressure. Moreover, it a few minutes the level of blood oxygen gets down by 80%.

Many men experience the feeling of soreness, numbness, and tingling sensation after riding this bike. This is because the blood supply is getting affected.

In case, you are facing problem then you should not worry as infertility treatment is available like IVF, IUI, and ICSI. If you are not sure where to get the treatment then you should visit our IVF centre as the doctors are highly qualified and experienced.

Is this issue very serious?

In case, you are riding the bike frequently then it might result in some serious problem. Cyclist often says that they experience the issue of loss of sensation, genital pain, and erectile dysfunction.

Moreover, it is also linked with making the sperm quality decrease. A study was conducted in around 2261 men which showed that if they use a bicycle every week for more than 5 hours then the sperm count becomes low as well as the sperm movement is affected.

What is the best option?

We are not saying that cycling should be completely avoided. You must take precaution while you are trying to conceive so that it won’t result in any negative effect on the body. You can wrap your seat with the no-nose model as it shifts the pressure and weight to the butt. This option has definitely been proven helpful. Make sure you consult the doctor as they can guide you properly.

Yes Your Fat Is the reason of your poor sperm quality

Yes Your Fat Is The Reason For Your Poor Sperm Quality

by adminon 23 May 2019in male infertility

Fertility is one such problem which most of us are not comfortable to talk about. Additionally, discussing the issue of losing weight is also difficult. But what if you get to know that your weight is affecting your chances to get pregnant.

You might know this already that having normal weight is really essential for conceiving successfully. We know trying to lose weight is not easy. But this is also true you need to control some things which affect male infertility.

Does Obesity Affect Sperm Count?

Overweight and low sperm count are related to each other. Here is some research which shows this connection:

  • The study of Stanford University included 501 couples who were trying to conceive. In this, the men who were overweight were 20 times more likely to have sperm count very low as compared to men who have a healthy weight.
  • A French Mega study which included around 13,077 men who were overweight had a very low sperm count. In some cases, there were men who have zero sperm count.
  • The study of Harvard University showed that men who are overweight have low sperm count by 42% in comparison to those who have normal weight. Additionally, there were men who do not produce any sperm which was around 81%.

How Do A Few Extra Pounds Affect The Sperm Count?

Having excess fat in your body is linked with more production of estrogen. But, extra fat is affecting the level of testosterone in the body. The testosterone is necessary because the testicles need them to do their job effectively. This means that the sperm count will get affected because of this issue.

But you should not worry as the infertility treatment is available to treat the issue of low sperm count.

What Is The Ideal Weight?

According to BMI (Body Mass Index), sperm production and weight are categorized by:

  • Healthy: 18.5 to 24.9
  • Underweight < 18.5
  • Overweight: 25.0 to 29.9
  • Obese > 30.0

This means you should keep your weight is the range of 18.5 to 25.0. losing a few extra pounds will increase your chances to conceive successfully. Additionally, making a few lifestyle changes in your daily routine will make sperm production to get back on track. Keep in mind that you should limit the use of hot tubs, saunas, limit the use of coffee, oily food, and do not drink.

If you are not sure which food item will help then you should consult the doctor. He/she will tell you about the entire process and tell you which treatment option will help you to conceive.

Yes, Stress Do Cause Infertility

Yes, Stress Do Cause Infertility

by adminon 29 March 2019in infertility, male infertility

Some women conceive successfully despite having unhealthy habits and a sedentary lifestyle. On the other hand, there are some women who fail to conceive despite doing everything right. What could be the reason behind such cases?  If we study the role our emotional state has on us, stress could be the deciding factor in these cases. Apart from this, there are various other factors which could be responsible. Male infertility cannot be counted out, so it is better than both the partners get themselves tested for it.

Stress: The Culprit

New research suggests that women who are under stress have a hard time conceiving. This was indicated by the saliva samples taken from various women over a period of six menstrual cycles. Women with stress had higher enzyme concentration in their saliva and had 12 percent lesser chances of conceiving. Although researchers have not been able to exactly pinpoint how stress plays a role in the failure of conceiving, there is a connection between the two. It has also been seen that some women are able to conceive even during periods of high stress.

This leads to doubts regarding the deductions made from the research. The scientists have an answer to this as well. They explain that some women’s reproductive system is more influenced by stress. This discovery has led to yet another milestone in treatment: managing the stress in one’s life’s can lead to better chances of conceiving. It was found out that the women who have stress in their lives were more susceptible to health problems like gaining weight and high blood pressure. The women who received stress management therapy showed betterment of their ovulation cycles as compared to those who never received it. So we can say that stress management is an important part of your infertility treatment.

What Can You Do –

 

  1. Spend Quality Time With Your Partner

 

Spending quality time with your partner will take the stress and mechanization from your lives. Go for some recreational activity together and avoid talking about pregnancy for more than 20 minutes. Focus on other things of life.

  1. Change your Attitude

With so many other couples facing absolutely no problem in conceiving, you are bound to think that you are the unlucky one. But having such an attitude is neither correct nor helpful for you. Would we be having so many infertility clinics if all other couples were facing no problems in conceiving?

  1. Write Down Your Thoughts

Writing your thoughts and then physically destroying the paper is an essential stress management technique in stressful situations. It will help you tide over the stressful infertility period as well. Try this technique and you will realize the stress-busting benefits it has.

Causes of Infertility

Causes of Infertility in India, 2019

by adminon 29 March 2019in IVF, male infertility

Some couple face issue getting pregnant and sometimes it might get complicated. During this process, there are many things which might go wrong which results in infertility. Additionally, the issue of infertility is not with women, men also face this issue. Approximately 15% of couple experience difficulties fertility. For this, we have mentioned some common causes which affect fertility in men and women. The couple who are facing issue getting pregnant should consult with the health care provider to find the possible treatment options.

Common Issues- Female infertility

  1. Ovulation problem

One of the most common problems of female infertility is the failure to ovulate and this issue is common in around 40% of women. The women whose menstrual cycle is irregular or absent indicate that ovulation is either absent or irregular. This problem can occur because of different causes.

  • One of the issues which affect the process of ovulation is PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) or primary ovarian insufficiency (POI).
  • Aging affects the ovarian reserve which means the number of eggs is decreased as women age.
  • The women who are having a problem of Endocrine disorders such as thyroid disease also face the issue in ovulation. This also affects the hormones which the body produces.
  1. Problem with Menstrual Cycle

Some women face the issue in a menstrual cycle which means either the monthly cycle is absent or not regular. Moreover, this cycle prepares the female body to conceive and if this is not proper it can lead to infertility. There are different phases included in the menstrual cycle and if there is a problem at any one stage it might get difficult for women to get pregnant.

  1. PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome)

Another common cause of infertility is PCOS. When women ovaries produce androgen hormone more than required it leads to this condition. Due to this, it affects the development of ovarian follicles and during ovulation, the egg will not be released properly. As a result, within the ovaries cysts can also develop.

  1. The structural problem with the Reproductive System

In this case, there is abnormal tissue present in the Fallopian tube or uterus. When the Fallopian tube is blocked or damaged the egg is not able to reach the uterus. The sperm is also not able to reach the egg for fertilization. There is some structural problem that can affect fertility.

  • One of the common cause of the structural problem is endometriosis, it is tissue which lines inside the uterus and it can also block the fallopian tubes.
  • In some cases, women with fibroid are not able to conceive naturally or might face the problem of multiple miscarriages.
  • If the shape of the uterus is not proper, it will affect implantation and women cannot carry a pregnancy to term.
  1. The egg does not get mature

Due to different reasons such as PCOS, overweight, or lack of proteins the egg is not able to mature properly. Further, the egg is not able to release at the correct time which means they might not reach the fallopian tube or they are not able to fertilize.

Common Issues – Male infertility

  1. Problem with sperm

One of the most common causes of men infertility is when the sperm is not able to reach the egg for fertilization. Sperm is found in semen which is a milky fluid that is released during orgasm. This issue can result in different problems.

  • Around one-third of the couple are not able to conceive because of low sperm count. During ejaculation, the men release less sperm than required. Research showed that men who have sperm count lower than 15 million will face difficulties in getting pregnant.
  • Sometimes, sperm motility (movement) also creates a problem. This means the sperm is not able to reach the women’s reproductive tract for egg fertilization.
  • The shape of the sperm is not accurate which make sit harder for it move and fertilize the egg.
  1. Abnormal semen

In some cases, the semen is abnormal which means it cannot carry the sperm effectively. This problem is because of different reasons such as ejaculation disorder, hormonal imbalance, or any medical condition (infection, cancer, or surgery). Another issue is overheated testicles which can result from wearing tight clothes, use of hot tubs, or varicose vein.

  1. Genetic Factor

For successful pregnancy men should have two chromosomes which are X and Y. Sometimes the men have 2 chromosomes and one y chromosome. Due to this, the testicles will not develop properly and it might affect the testosterone level which decreases the sperm count.

  1. Overweight

Being overweight is not at all good for overall health. In the same way, if you are men or women and if your weight is not normal then it affects your fertility. For conceiving successfully it is very important to lose a few kilos or pounds. This problem can also affect the health of the baby growing inside you and there are high chances of miscarriage.

  1. Infection

The sperm health can get affected because of some infection as it can also cause scarring around the passage of the sperm. Some of the infections are like inflammation of the epididymis (epididymitis) and sexually transmitted infection (HIV or gonorrhea). For this, you should get treatment and the problem can be solved easily.

  1. Hormonal imbalance

Some of the other causes of infertility are because of disorder of the testicles which affect the hormonal system and it includes the hypothalamus, adrenal glands, and pituitary glands. If the level of testosterone is very low or any other hormone it can also result in the issue of infertility.

  1.  Age

Some couple decides to focus on their career and due to this, they avoid the most common cause which affects fertility. As we age, the fertility level naturally decreases. After the age of 40, it becomes difficult for men and women to conceive successfully. In that case, the treatment of IVF and IUI can help the couple to become parents.

  1.  Use of illegal drugs

Another reason for infertility is the use of illegal drugs, steroids, and medications for a long time. Additionally, these drugs also affect sperm quality and quantity.
