Does IVF work in cases of male infertility?

Ivf (In Vitro Fertilization)

Answered by Pankaj Kamble

Hello, Yes, IVF does deliver successful result in males with infertility problems. However, the fertility doctor will use the method of ICSI (Intracytoplasmic sperm injection) to fertilize the egg. In this method, a single sperm is directly injected into the egg. ICSI is used in the following cases:
Your sperm count is less
The sperm has poor motility (Does not move normally)
The shape of the sperm is abnormal (Poor morphology)
The sperm may have to be collected surgically due to a blockage in the male reproductive tract
or if you have undergone a vasectomy.
Hope this information helps you. You can also connect with specialists - Reproductive Endocrinologist (Infertility)s in Bangalore, let us know if your city is different!

Hello ..I am trying to conceive since June 2023 ...I have PCOD I have started taking metformin and clomiphene from Jan 2024... Still not able to conceive My height is 5'1 and weight 60 kg Please help me out

Female | 30

It is difficult to become pregnant with PCOD. This leads to irregular periods and issues with ovulation, as well as increased levels of male hormones. Metformin or clomiphene may be used for regulating the menstrual cycle and promoting ovulation. Ensure you take them according to your doctor’s instructions. Fertility in women with PCOD can also be enhanced by losing weight; therefore, it is important to stay healthy.

Your tests indicate that you have increased antibodies to rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes simplex virus. Such infections cause difficulties with pregnancy such as miscarriages. Taking vaccines against these diseases may be helpful before the next attempt at conception. It is advisable to talk to a gynecologist about what to do next.

I have been trying to conceive for the past 2 and half years. My AMH level was very low- 0.4ng/mL. I had one failed IVF from one of the hospital in kerala. Then I consulted another doctor from another hospital and I was suggested to do Autologous Stem Cell Ovarian Treatment (ASCOT). My last menstrual period was April 16 2024. And my ASCOT treatment was done on April 23, 2024. From May 1, 2024 to May 3, 2024 I had a slight bleeding. After which I have not yet got my periods and my pregnancy test is also negative. On June 10, 2024 I did a Beta HCG test and AMH test. Beta HCG test result is negative and my AMH has decreased to 0.39ng/mL Is it okay that my AMH has decreased after the stem cell treatment or should it be increased? I have got an appointment on June 22, 2024 and the next treatment doctor would be suggesting is IVF. I would like to know the percentage of positive outcome after this IVF.

Female | 29

A small decrease like yours after ASCOT is usually okay because AMH levels fluctuate slightly. The success rate of the upcoming IVF can range from 20% to 40%, depending on factors such as age and health. Symptoms of low AMH involve difficulty conceiving. For fertility issues, IVF is a good option.

Male | 28

Based on the ultrasound findings on 25th July 2024, the baby is probably 30 weeks old, so the conception date was around mid-November 2023. Symptoms like fatigue, morning sickness, and missed periods usually notify about pregnancy. These symptoms are the direct effect of the hormonal changes in the body. Take care of your health during pregnancy by eating well, being active, and going to your prenatal check-ups regularly for a healthy pregnancy.

What can I do if I suspect I have an unruptured but dead 9week pregnancy in my ovary?

Female | 31

If your ovary has a 9-week pregnancy without signs of life, seek medical care right away. This could mean pelvic discomfort, strange bleeding, and overall sickness. An ectopic pregnancy or missed miscarriage are potential causes. Treatment may involve medicine or surgery to remove the pregnancy tissue. Don't wait - get checked out promptly by a gynecologist.

Male | 32

Your semen test showed low sperm count and motility. That can make it hard to get pregnant. Low sperm count happens when hormones are off balance. It can also be caused by some medicines. Smoking or too much alcohol may also be why. To boost your chances of having a baby, don't smoke or drink alcohol. Eat healthy foods. You could also talk to a fertility doctor for more help.

Sex determination is illegal in india. Wait till the delivery

Answered on 6th Aug '24

Hi Sir, I have been operated for an ectopic pregnancy 4 years ago. I'm now 35 years old. My hormonal profile and my husband's sperm analysis is normal. HSG showed a fimbria end block. What options should I consider for fertility?

Have you checked the AMH level of yourself, and also the antral follicle count in Sonography?

Hsg is not the absolute report, probability of it being right is 60% since the patient is conscious and the procedure itself is painful, thus the report can falsely show positive/negative indication. The true status of the tube is better assessed by a diagnostic hysterolaparoscopy, wherein we put a telescope in your abdomen.

If in any doubt, then approach doctors from this page - Ivf doctors in India, or you can seek help from me too.

0.10mlu/ml means pregnant or none pregnant sir

Female | 22

Speaking of "0.10mlu/ml," while mentioned, shows the quantity of hCG hormone in your body. This hormone corresponds to pregnancy. The quantity 0.10mlu/ml is considered a low level that either is an early pregnancy or is a false positive result. For one to be pregnant, the symptoms include no period, feeling sick/ throwing up, being tired, and hurting the breasts. To verify pregnancy, it is your choice to either do the test again or go to a gynecologist.

I checked out my semen test for fertility Sperm count 120million/ml Motality 70% Sluggish 10% Abnormal 20% Is this normal or not? Having trouble in erection

Male | 26

Your sperm count remains commendable but, unfortunately, you have some things to look at. Despite the fact a 70% mobility rate is an acceptable level, if you experience problems with your penis, you will need to do something about it on time. Some of the notions on erection difficulties can be associated with stress, lifestyle elements, or the existing health condition. Implementing healthy lifestyle behavior, acquiring less stress, and performing regular physical exercise will contribute to the improvement of the efficiency of the penis. It is advisable to go for a consultation if the problems persist.

Iam 55 year old want to do the IVF

Male | 55

It may be hard to conceive as a typical sign. This is because fertility naturally decreases with age. IVF addresses this issue by combining an egg and sperm outside the body and then implanting the fertilized egg into the uterus. It’s advisable to consult with an IVF specialist who can help determine if this procedure is right for you.

It is necessary to consult with the IVF specialist who can provide a specific answer for you. Nevertheless, bright or scanty bleeding during early pregnancy may not be a medical problem and does not necessarily have a bad end.
