Infertility isn't just a woman's issue. In fact, male factors contribute to nearly 50% of infertility cases. From hormonal imbalances to poor lifestyle choices, several underlying issues can impair male reproductive function.
Varicocele: Enlarged veins in the scrotum that raise testicular temperature
Hormonal Imbalances: Low testosterone or FSH levels
Infections: STIs or prostatitis
Obstructions: Blocked vas deferens or ejaculatory ducts
Genetic Disorders: Klinefelter’s syndrome, Y-chromosome microdeletions
Smoking and alcohol
Sedentary lifestyle
Obesity
High stress
Exposure to heat or toxins
Understanding the root cause is essential. That’s why working with a male infertility specialist in Pune is the first step toward effective treatment.
Many men assume that fertility is “not their issue,” especially when general health seems fine. However, sperm quality and function can be affected silently. A specialist offers:
Targeted evaluation of testicular and hormonal function
Focused diagnostic tests
Access to the latest sperm retrieval techniques
Tailored treatment including assisted reproductive technologies
Ashakiran Hospital houses expert andrologists and reproductive specialists dedicated to male-factor infertility, ensuring comprehensive and respectful care.
Ashakiran offers a broad panel of male fertility assessments under one roof, helping couples get faster results and initiate timely treatments.
Ashakiran’s andrology lab doesn’t stop at sperm count. They assess:
Sperm motility
Morphology (shape)
Volume and concentration
DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI) – key for IVF success
Low testosterone, elevated FSH, or prolactin levels can indicate endocrine disorders. Genetic screening (Y-deletion, karyotyping) identifies inherited causes of infertility.
This imaging helps detect:
Varicocele
Hydrocele
Obstructions or scarring
These tests are crucial before planning sperm retrieval or surgery.
For men with zero sperm in the ejaculate (azoospermia), surgical sperm retrieval may still enable biological parenthood.
Used for obstructive cases, this minimally invasive method collects sperm from the epididymis.
Sperm are extracted directly from the testes using a needle under local anesthesia.
This advanced method uses a microscope to retrieve sperm in non-obstructive azoospermia, maximizing the chance of success.
These techniques are often combined with ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) for fertilization in IVF cycles.
Every male infertility case is unique. That’s why Ashakiran Hospital offers individualized protocols for every patient.
Nutritional changes, stress management, antioxidant therapy, and hormone balancing are first-line treatments for many patients.

Rahul (35) had low motility sperm. After antioxidant therapy and two IUI attempts, his wife conceived naturally in the third cycle.
Siddharth (37) was diagnosed with non-obstructive azoospermia. With Micro-TESE followed by IVF-ICSI, the couple successfully conceived twins after a single IVF cycle.
These stories reflect the hospital’s strong track record in treating even complex male-factor infertility cases.
