It is publicly acknowledged now that infertility is not a rare phenomenon. It always existed since time immemorial, but was kept under wraps, especially infertility among male gender. Nowadays, couples who decide to become parents visit fertility clinics and consult a fertility doctor, in case they are unable to conceive. They realize that infertility is a physical problem and there are alternative way outs to becoming a parent. Eager to usher a new life in their lives, the couples are ready to take help of innovative methods for conceiving, including IVF.
What is IVF?
IVF is one of the modern reproduction techniques that can help couples become parents. It is an aided method of reproduction, wherein fertilization is carried out inside a glass (or in vitro). Under the process, the male sperms and the female egg are joined on a laboratory apparatus (plate) and transferred to womanâ??s uterus after fertilization.
An experienced fertility doctor suggests IVF to couples with specific infertility issues. For example, the woman may be unable to carry her full term of pregnancy due to physical weakness. It may be because the woman partner is suffering from natural biological incapability to conceive. Or at times the Sperm Count of the male figure is too low to fertilize female eggs within her body. Couples generally visit infertility clinics upon trying to bear a child for a whole year, at least.
How to go for IVF safely?
Before you finalize to go for IVF, you must consider certain points in mind to be on the safer side. To begin with, focus on the eligibility criterion for being patients for IVF treatment.
-
If you are an old woman and your ovaries are failing, you must not go for IVF.
-
If you are a man with sperm count lower than 3 million motile sperm, you should drop the method.
-
If you are a woman with damaged uterus, the treatment is not for you.
It is not out of place to mention here that sometimes, your fertility doctor might be trying to make money for his/ her fertility clinic by convincing you to go for IVF. So, better not trust the infertility clinics cent percent and definitely go for second opinions.

It is known to everyone that cigarette smoking is harmful and addictive. But very few know the risks of cigarette addiction. Smoking inflicts body with many irreversible damages and reduces the human life span by 25 years. Effects of Smoking on Body: Heart : Smoking is the biggest risk factor for all heart diseases. It accelerates the process of fat deposition in the inner walls of arteries (atherosclerosis). It increases blood pressure and heart rate. Not only these, smoking increases tendency for the blood to clot. It reduces the capacity of a person to exercise. (Exercises always keep heart healthy). Lungs : Smoking destroys small hairs present in upper parts of airways. In normal persons these hairs protect lungs from germs, dust and other harmful particles. When this natural cleaning system is damaged germs, dust, smoke and other harmful chemicals enter lungs causing infection, cough and lung cancer. The air sacs of lungs (alveoli) get permanently damaged causing difficulty in breathing. Digestive system: Smoking causes heart burn ,delays healing of peptic ulcers, increases risk of crohnâ??s disease and formation of gall stones. It affects liver and increases chances of stomach cancer. Legs: Smoking affects blood vessels of legs causing chronic pain in legs. This may further progress to cause gangrene of toes or feet. Eyes: The sensitive blood vessels of eye are easily damaged by smoking. This causes blood shot appearance of eyes and itching. In heavy smokers it may lead to degeneration and loss of eyesight. Smokers are at an increased risk of cataracts. Skin : Due to smoking the skin is deprived of oxygen and it loses its texture. An average smoker looks 5 years older than his healthy non smoking counterparts. The skin loses its healthy glow and takes on a yellowish-gray cast. The more cigarettes smoked, the worse skin will look. Wrinkles start appearing very quickly as smoking affects elastic tissues of skin. Bones: It accelerates the process of osteoporosis Cancer: Smoking causes cancer of lungs, larynx, oral cavity, pharynx, oesophagus and bladder. Tobacco smoke contains more than 60 substances which cause cancer. 87% lung cancer death occurs due to smoking. Reproductive system: Smoking reduces fertility in both men and women. In women: Smoking imbalances estrogen hormone in women. It causes dryness of vagina and reduces blood flow to genital organs. Women who smoke can get diseases of fallopian tubes and their egg production is affected. Smoking can cause abortion. It accelerates aging process and can cause early menopause. The growth of baby retards when mother smokes in pregnancy. It affects the brain development of baby and reduces IQ. This happens even when mother is a passive smoker. The chances of miscarriage, premature birth and fetal death increase. In men: Smoking impairs erections and can become a reason for erectile dysfunction. It also reduces Sperm Count and impairs sperm motility. But these are reversed after stopping smoking. Hence quit smoking. Quitting smoking has immediate as well as long-term benefits for you and your loved ones

Male Fertility Treatment in India
Male Infertility may be caused due to various causes and may require the suggested Treatment
A good balanced diet of natural products is one of the keys that will help you to overcome some problems with male fertility. If you find it difficult to get a reliable source of fresh fruit and vegetables you could always try supplements in your diet that have been trialed and tested and show trustworthy results to clinical trials.
There is a male fertility supplement suitable for you that can help increase semen volume and also help Increase SperSperm Count and motility. It must also be remembered that these are not miracle workers and need to be taken or used regularly for effective results to occur.
Â
Important Facts
- Male infertility can be treated successfully in more than half of all cases
- Treatments include assisted reproduction, drug therapy, and surgery
- In vitro fertilization (IVF) is a type of male infertility treatment
- Surgery to correct an abnormality in the reproductive tract may improve fertility
Â
Average conception rate for these procedures is about 30%
Drug therapy for male infertility includes medications to improve sperm production, treat hormonal dysfunction, cure infections that compromise sperm, and fight sperm antibodies. The administration of testosterone is similar to that used to treat testosterone deficiency.
Surgery for male infertility is performed to treat reproductive tract obstruction and varicocele. Vasoepididymostomy is a microsurgical procedure that corrects obstruction in the coiled tube that connects the testes with the vas deferens (epididymis). Obstructions commonly result from STDs and also include cysts and tubal closure (atresia), which is usually genetic….

Age: It is not clear what the effect of aging is on male fertility. However, evidence of late suggests that it may be a factor (although not to the degree that it is in women). This evidence shows that age-related sperm changes in men is a gradual process. Aging can adversely affect sperm counts and sperm’s ability to swim quickly and move in a straight line.
Bicycling has been linked to impotence in men and also may affect fertility. Pressure from the bike seat may damage blood vessels and nerves that are responsible for erections.
Certain cancers and their treatments, especially testicular cancer, hinder sperm production, often severely. Cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation can damage sperm quality and quantity, causing infertility.
Defective Genetic Material: Sperm carry half the genetic material necessary to make a human being. Infertile men have been reported to have a relatively high percentage of sperm with broken or damaged DNA.
Environmental Assaults: Exposure to toxins, chemicals, or infections may reduce sperm count either by direct effects on testicular function or by altering hormone systems, although the extent of the impact and specific environmental assaults involved are questionable. Some experts believe it is contributing to a general worldwide decline in male fertility.
Excessive Exercise has been associated with reduced sperm production.
Fertilizing a womanâ??s egg must be achieved in order to get his partner pregnant. Therefore, a man must be able to deliver healthy sperm into the vagina. Sperm must be properly shaped and able to move toward the egg for fertilization to occur. If the shape and structure (morphology) of the sperm are abnormal or the movement (motility) is impaired, sperm may not be able to reach or penetrate the egg.
Glandular Infections in the Urinary Tract or Genitals: Glandular infections that may affect fertility include prostatitis (in the prostate gland), orchitis (in the testicle), semino-vesculitis (in the glands that produce semen), or urethritis (in the urethra), possibly by altering sperm motility.
Heavy Substance Abuse: Cocaine or heavy marijuana use appears to temporarily reduce the number and quality of sperm by as much as 50%. Sperm have receptors for certain compounds in marijuana that may affect the sperm’s ability to swim and also keep them from penetrating the egg. Very heavy alcohol use can also affect fertility.
Impotence: (Erectile Dysfunction) is when a man has problems getting or maintaining an erection long enough for sex. It happens when not enough blood flows to the penis.
Inherited Disorders that Affect Fertility: Certain inherited disorders can impair fertility such as Cystic fibrosis, Klinefelter syndrome, Kartagener syndrome and Polycystic kidney disease.
Jumpstart Fertility by acquiring healthy habits. Eat healthy. Exercise moderately and abstain from heavy substance abuse.
Kidney or liver failure, chronic anemia, diabetes HIV, thyroid disease, Cushing syndrome, heart attack, or any severe injury or major surgery are medical conditions that can affect male fertility.
Low Sperm Count: There has to be enough sperm in the semen to make pregnancy likely. A normal sperm concentration is greater than or equal to 20 million sperm per milliliter of semen. A count of 10 million or fewer sperm per milliliter of semen indicates low sperm concentration.
Lubricants used with condoms, including spermicides, oils, and Vaseline, can affect fertility. Astroglide, Replens, or mineral oil may not be as harmful to sperm. However, oil-based lubricants can damage latex condoms and should be avoided.
Medications: The effects of medications on sperm quality and count have not been studied in depth, and many medicines are commonly prescribed without knowing whether they impair fertility. Anabolic steroids (which have been overly abused by weight lifters and other athletes) deserve special attention because they are known to severely harm sperm production. Among the other drugs that can affect male fertility are cimetidine (Tagamet), sulfasalazine (Azulfidine), salazopyrine, colchicine, methadone, methotrexate (Folex), phenytoin (Dilantin), corticosteroids, spironolactone (Aldactone), thioridazine (Mellaril), and calcium channel blockers.
Mumps: When mumps develop after puberty, it damages the testicles in 25% of men afflicted with the disease.
Mycoplasma is an infectious organism that appears to fasten itself to sperm cells and render them less motile.
No semen (ejaculate). The absence of ejaculate may occur in men with spinal cord injuries or diseases. This fluid carries the sperm from the penis into the vagina.
Obesity may be a risk factor for male infertility. A 2006 epidemiological study found that a 20-pound increase in a man’s weight increased the chance for infertility by about 10 percent.
Premature ejaculation can occasionally make fertilization difficult or impossible for couples who are trying to become pregnant.
Question your doctor: When a couple has failed to conceive after one year of well-timed intercourse, they should seek expert care. In cases where the woman is older than age 35, treatment should be sought after six months of well-timed intercourse.
Repeated Chlamydia trachomatis or gonorrhea infections are most often associated with male infertility. Such infections can cause scarring and block sperm passage. Human papilloma viruses, the cause of genital warts, may also impair sperm function.
Smoking impairs sperm motility, reduces sperm lifespan, and may cause genetic changes that affect the offspring.
Stress may interfere with the hormone GnRH and reduce Sperm Counts.
Testicular Overheating: High fevers, saunas, and hot tubs, may temporarily lower sperm count. Persistent exposure to high temperatures during work may impair fertility.
Undescended testicle: The testicles make male hormones and sperm. Usually both testicles are inside the scrotum. While male babies are still growing inside the uterus, their testicles are inside their abdomen. The testicles usually move down into the scrotum just before or just after birth. An undescended testicle is one that did not move down into the scrotum.
Varicocele: This is when the veins in the scrotum become enlarged, twisted or swollen (similar to varicose veins in the leg). This heats the inside of the scrotum and may affect sperm production.
Wearing tight-fitting pants and underwear. According to a study on “Tight-fitting Underwear and Sperm Quality” published June 29, 1996, in the scientific journal The Lancet. Tight-fitting underwear is not recommended for men trying to father a child because it may raise testes temperature to a point where it interferes with sperm production.
X Chromosomes play a role in some forms of male infertility that result from low sperm counts. Scientists have found that almost half the genes related to sperm production reside in the X chromosome, universally thought of as the female sex chromosome. Many genes for early male sperm production reside on the X Chromosome.
Your loss of libido (reduced or lost interest in sex) can also be a factor in male infertility.
Zinc, folate, selenium, vitamins C & E deficiencies in men may be particular risk factors for infertility.

TribestA standardized extract of the tropical plant Tribulus terrestris, also known as ‘puncture vine.’ This herb enjoys an illustrious history in folklore medicine for sexual deficiency. Volumes of clinical research have been conducted at the Chemical Pharmaceutical Research Institute in Sofia, Bulgaria. Supplementation in both men and women demonstrated differing effects upon various hormonal parameters.* The changes in men showed significant increases in luteinizing hormone (LH), testosterone (T) and estradiol (E).* Women observed increases in follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) and E while T and LH increased only slightly.* The investigation was performed to measure the increase in libido, sperm production and motility but increases in T have long been associated with increases in lean body mass.Traditional use for sexual potency and libidoRenders potent androgenic (sex hormone) effects*Standardized minimum of 45% steroid saponins (furostanol and protodioscin)Hormone modulations strongly affected (30% increases in testosterone)*Reported increases in muscle mass and workout attitude and recovery*Active Ingredients: (Amount per 1 capsule)Tribulus terrestris - 750mg (containing Furostanol and Protodioscin)

Professor Robert McLachlan, Consultant Andrologist at Monash IVF and Director of Andrology Australia, addressed hundreds of medical professionals attending the annual Fertility Society of Australia Conference in Brisbane encouraging a greater recognition of men’s health matters in the setting of infertility.
“Male reproductive dysfunction is the sole or contributory cause of infertility in half of the couples presenting for treatment at IVF centres”, said Professor McLachlan. He went on to say “while we have made terrific technological advancements such as ICSI that allow a normal pregnancy from many men with severe infertility, we always have a responsibility to fully evaluate men for conditions that can be treated to restore their ability to father children naturally. We must also look for conditions that are known to be more common in this group of men, and also address matters of lifestyle that could impact on fertility and their health more generally.”
These important points were also made recently by Professor McLachlan when addressing General Practitioners at a series of education lectures held by Monash IVF at several sites nationally. The aim of these educational events was to raise awareness of how to make early detection of the signs and symptoms of male and female infertility. Early intervention by lifestyle changes and/or medical treatment could then be more effective at either restoring natural fertility or improving the outcomes of medical treatments for infertility, such as IVF.
When men consult a GP or Fertility Specialist with their female partner in an effort to achieve a pregnancy it is an opportune time for lifestyle issues to be addressed whilst they are relatively young and healthy. The co-morbidities associated with poor lifestyle and infertility include testicular cancer, cardio vascular disease and androgen deficiency but, for many, the symptoms of these will not be realised until a further 20+ years down the track. For many men, their attendance with a fertility problem may be the first time they have seen a doctor for quite a while and taking the opportunity to address their holistic health care should not be missed.
Another important observation is that 70% of men with Klinefelter’s Syndrome (chromosomes XXY) escape diagnosis for their entire lifetime! This is alarming considering that a simple testicular examination would alert a Medical Practitioner to this given that testicular volume in Klinefelter’s men is around 4ml compared to the normal 30ml. Many do not have the “textbook” appearance (tall, feminised) but their health and well-being would greatly benefit from testosterone supplementation once diagnosed.
Andrology Australia has developed an excellent booklet “Your Sperm and How to Look After Them” which provides men with information on factors affecting their fertility and lifelong fertile health. It is aimed at single and partnered men of all ages. Hard copies can be obtained directly from Andrology Australia free of charge to Australian residents.

If you are a couple trying to conceive and find that it is taking longer than you had hoped, very often the woman is held responsible. However, it is vital to consider that either or both parties can have issues which can lead to lowered fertility.
There are some simple ways of increasing male fertility naturally and these can be just what is needed to help with conception. Here are a few things you can try right away.
First of all, looking after your health generally can go a long way. If you are a smoker, stopping smoking can dramatically improve your sperm count. Many experts also advise stopping drinking alcohol, or at the very least, cutting down to below the recommended minimum units per week. Eating a healthy diet and maintaining the correct weight for your height is also a way of helping towards increasing male fertility naturally and you may wish to consider taking a supplement specially recommended for men. For healthy sperm, zinc is a useful mineral to look out for. In addition, consider your intake of caffeine, in the form of tea, coffee and chocolate. It is thought that an excessive intake of caffeine can lower Sperm Count and the motility of the sperm itself.
Ensuring that the testes are kept cool can also help with increasing male fertility naturally. Some doctors advocate wearing loose boxer shorts rather than close-fitting underpants and avoiding taking hot baths.
If you are aware that you have a low sperm count, one way to maximize the quantity is not to have intercourse every day, but every two days and concentrate on the day of ovulation and the two days before and the day afterwards.
Despite researching and putting into practice tips on how to become pregnant quickly, naturally, some couples still do not conceive after several months.
Rather than leaving matters completely to chance, it makes sense to implement a tried and tested method which is guaranteed to work.

You are what you eat and fuel you put into your body influences how much you get from sex. The natural herbs enclosed will give you harder erections, better performance and more intense orgasms…
Before we look at the herbs, let’s look at some common problems which are a barrier to enjoying great sex.
Low testosterone can be a problem for many men and you simply need to have plenty of this key sex hormone.
Your blood circulation if weak can cause poor health and sees your libido and sexual performance plummet, as your enjoyment from sex is reliant on delivering blood to the sex organs in sufficient volume to get an erection.
Getting the blood to the penis is only half the story though it needs to be let in on arrival and then the chemical nitric oxide plays a vital role. If you don’t secrete enough nitric oxide, you will never get a strong erection - let’s look at what it does.
It relaxes and expands the blood vessels, that lead to the penis and lets an increased flow of blood in, swelling the penis and the visible result is a hard erection.
Last but not least, we have overall body energy levels and state of mind.
Low energy levels means your body, diverts what energy it has to other more important matters and that does not include sex, even if you think it should!
