Treatment connected with male infertility

There is equal contribution by male and female partners in fertility. So evaluating the male partner should be done even if female is having problems. For Male partner the expected counts for normal conception is more than 15 million with ateast 42 % motility and more than 4% normal morphology sperms.

If the results are between 8 to 15 million with atleast 40 % motility Intrauterine insemination ( IUI )can be done with good success rates and minimal costs

If counts are less than the above values, even after medications the ICSI/ IVF will be the best option. Though the costs are little more the success rates are very good , so having your own genetic baby will come true.
