Male Infertility

Helping couples overcome the challenges of infertility is a passionate endeavour undertaken by Dr Afolayan. Fulfilling their dreams of parenthood through compassionate care and advanced medical solutions for male infertility is something he wants to make available to all his patients.

What Is Male Infertility?

Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female, often due to issues with sperm production, function, or delivery.

It’s a common challenge affecting many couples, but with the right approach, many barriers to fertility can be addressed.

What Causes Male Infertility?

Several factors can contribute to male infertility, including:

• Low sperm production
• Abnormal sperm function or structure
• Blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm
• Lifestyle factors such as smoking, excessive alcohol use, and obesity
• Health issues like diabetes and genetic disorders

Understanding the root cause is crucial to determining the most effective treatment.

How Do We Diagnose Male Infertility?

Diagnosing male infertility typically begins with a comprehensive evaluation that includes a m

edical history review and a physical examination. Dr Afolayan may also recommend semen analysis, the most common test used to assess the health and viability of sperm.

Additional tests might include hormonal evaluations or genetic testing, depending on the initial findings.

What Treatment Options Are Available?

Treatment for male infertility varies based on the underlying cause and can include:

• Medical treatments for infections or hormonal imbalances
• Procedures to remove blockages or to retrieve sperm directly from the testicles
• Lifestyle changes to improve sperm quantity and quality
• Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) such as IVF (in vitro fertilisation) or ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection)

Dr Afolayan will work closely with you to develop a personalised treatment plan that addresses your specific needs.

Can Lifestyle Changes Make a Difference?

Yes, lifestyle choices play a significant role in fertility. Improvements such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight can enhance fertility.

Dr Afolayan can offer guidance on effective lifestyle adjustments that support fertility.
