Male Infertility

Male infertility can be defined as the biological failure to achieve pregnancy after having regular unprotected sex for at least a year. The main reason why men who have fertility problems cannot make their partner pregnant is due to not being able to produce enough healthy sperm.

It is estimated that 1 in 7 couples will have problems conceiving a child and in 18% of those cases the problem can be traced solely to male factors, 23% can be traced to factors caused in both the male and female and 16% cannot be traced to obvious factor in either partner.

The only way to know for certain that there is a male fertility problem is to go to the doctor, where you will have a semen analysis test done. This will determine whether there is a problem with the sperm count or quality. You will undergo 2 or possible 3 tests in order to prove there is an issue with your sperm.

Once the sperm analysis tests have proved that there is definite problems with the sperm count or quality, you will more than likely be required to undergo further testing, which will include blood tests and a physical examination. In about 30% of cases the tests will show what the underlying issue is, as to why there is a fertility problem, but more often than not the reason will be unknown.

The good news is that in over 60% of cases, male fertility can be corrected, and our Male Fertility Regeneration Program can be the answer that many men have been looking for.
