Male Infertility Treatment in Kolkata — 40% of Infertility is Male. You Are Not Alone.
There is still a painful stigma around male infertility in India — it often goes unspoken, undiagnosed, or unfairly blamed on the woman. At Maatritva IVF in Newtown, Kolkata, we treat male infertility with the same clinical rigour and compassion as every other fertility condition. Because half the story always belongs to him.
Understanding This Condition
Male infertility refers to any condition in the male reproductive system that reduces the chance of fertilising a female partner's egg. The most common causes include oligospermia (low sperm count), asthenospermia (poor motility), teratospermia (abnormal morphology), azoospermia (complete absence of sperm), hormonal imbalances, varicocele (enlarged scrotal veins), and lifestyle factors like smoking, heat exposure, and obesity.
Symptoms & Diagnosis
Any man whose semen analysis shows count below 15 million/mL, motility below 40%, normal morphology below 4% (Kruger strict criteria), or zero sperm (azoospermia). Also men with a history of undescended testes, testicular injury or surgery, STIs, hormonal disorders, or previous chemotherapy.
