Male Fertility

Half of fertility is sperm. We treat it that way — with full diagnostic and treatment care.

In short

Half of fertility is sperm — and it's treatable.

Male factor contributes to roughly half of all infertility cases, yet it is often the most overlooked. A proper male workup changes the picture for many couples — sometimes dramatically.

Who this is for
  • —Couples who have not conceived after 6–12 months of trying.
  • —Men with prior testicular surgery, varicocele, infection, or injury.
  • —Men with abnormal semen analyses or hormone profiles.
  • —Men exploring sperm freezing before medical treatment or vasectomy.
Why patients choose this with Dr. Ghadir
  • —Comprehensive male workup, not just a basic semen analysis.
  • —Direct collaboration with leading reproductive urologists when surgical evaluation is needed.
  • —Advanced sperm processing techniques for IVF/ICSI when indicated.
  • —Honest conversation about lifestyle, supplements, and what actually helps.
The process
  1. 01
    Semen analysis
    Modern, detailed analysis including count, motility, morphology, and DNA fragmentation when indicated.
  2. 02
    Hormone & genetic workup
    Targeted bloodwork and, when warranted, genetic testing.
  3. 03
    Urology referral
    Coordinated referral when surgical evaluation or treatment is appropriate.
  4. 04
    Treatment plan
    From lifestyle changes through surgical sperm retrieval and ICSI.
What to expect

Most male evaluations can be completed in two visits. Treatment paths range from simple lifestyle changes to advanced surgical sperm retrieval combined with IVF.

Risks & considerations

Improvements in sperm quality often take three months because of how sperm production works. We are realistic about what is reversible and what calls for assisted reproduction.

Often, yes — through micro-TESE and similar procedures performed by our urology partners.
