IVF may be used for certain types of male infertility, such as those with slightly reduced sperm counts or anti-sperm antibodies, a form of immune infertility, with IVFrelatively fewer motile sperm are required for oocyte fertilisation because the natural transport barriers are bypassed; moreover IVF increases the number of sperms incontact with multiple oocytes from superovulation. However there now exist a number of more specialised options for treating severe male infertility.
The male genital tract includes the testes, the epididymis, the vas, the prostate and urethra. The testes situated in the scrotum are mainly made up of loops of fine tubes(seminiferous tubules) which produce the sperm. The sperm cells mature as they pass through the epidiymis (a narrow system of tubes on the surface of the testes). Thevas is a hollow tube, which carries the sperm from the epididymis to the urethra.
It takes 3 - 4 months for sperm to develop, during this time sperm production may be affected by febrile illness, exposure to drugs, toxins, radiation, local trauma or infection.

Is effective in overcoming a variety of infertility problems, particularly tubal problems or marked sperm problems. In this procedure the ova are fertilized outside the body usingpartners sperms & then the fertilized embryos are placed back into the uterus transvaginally.
Sperm motility appears to be one of the most important factors in determining the fertilizing capability of sperm. Even with a low sperm count, many men with highly motile sperm may still be fertile. A semen analysis is the study of a freshly ejaculated semen sample. This analysis measures the number of sperm present in the ejaculate (sperm count) and checks the shape and size (morphology) of sperm and their motility. The semen analysis is not an absolute test for fertility because it does not test certain important aspects of sperm function, such as whether sperm can actually penetrate the egg; however, it is very useful in initially determining if the cause of infertility is an obvious male factor.
Semen testing is performed using a fresh semen specimen within 2 hours of collection. The specimen is obtained through masturbation and is collected in a container provided by the physician. Semen for this analysis should not be obtained by interrupted intercourse or by use of an ordinary condom. Ordinary condoms contain substances that are toxic to sperm. If religious or personal practices prohibit masturbation or if the patient feels uncomfortable, the physician may suggest using a special condom designed for specimen collection that does not damage sperm. Feeling anxious about producing a specimen is common. Any questions or concerns should be discussed with a physician.
