Welcome to the next episode of Fertility Focus Podcast!

If you’ve been trying to conceive and still not seeing results, it’s time to look beyond female fertility alone. Did you know that 50% of infertility cases are due to male factors?
This episode from Fertility Focus dives deep into male infertility, how semen analysis works, what your reports really mean, and what to do if the numbers don’t look right.

We bust myths, decode complex terms, and offer science-backed clarity on improving chances of conception.

What we covered:
✅What is semen analysis, and why is it important?
→ It checks sperm count, movement, and shape, all critical for natural conception.
✅When should a man get a semen test done?
→ After 12 months of trying to conceive, or after 6 months if the female is over 35.
✅Can semen quality be judged by its colour or thickness?
→ No, only lab analysis can determine true sperm health.
✅What are the prerequisites before giving a semen sample?
→ 2 to 5 days of abstinence and sample collection at a proper lab, not at home.
✅Can sperm count be too low even if the volume looks normal?
→ Yes, concentration matters more than total volume.
✅What is the difference between total sperm count and concentration?
→ Count is the total number of sperm in the ejaculate; concentration is per ml.
✅Why does one man have 2 million count and another has 100 million, despite similar lifestyles?
→ Hormonal levels, genetic factors, or testicular issues may be at play.
✅Can a very low sperm count be increased with treatment?
→ Sometimes yes, especially if it’s due to hormone imbalance or infection.
✅What lifestyle habits reduce sperm count and motility?
→ Obesity, smoking, stress, lack of exercise, poor diet, and steroids.
✅What is sperm motility, and why is it important?
→ Motility is how well sperm can swim to reach the egg. Without it, fertilisation is unlikely.
✅What are progressive vs. non-progressive motility types?
→ Progressive means forward movement; this is needed to fertilize the egg.
✅What causes poor sperm motility (Asthenozoospermia)?
→ Often infections, poor lifestyle, or damage to mitochondria in sperm.
✅Can poor motility be improved?
→ In many cases, yes—through infection treatment, lifestyle change, and antioxidants.
✅What is sperm morphology, and how much does it matter?
→ It's about sperm shape. While poor shape doesn’t always stop pregnancy, extreme defects like globozoospermia do.
✅Can someone have 0% normal sperm morphology and still conceive?
→ Yes, studies show conception is possible if count and motility are good.
✅Why do semen reports vary from time to time?
→ Illness, stress, sample error, and abstinence period can all affect reports.
✅What if sperm count and motility are fine but pregnancy still isn’t happening?
→ Advanced tests like DFI (DNA Fragmentation Index) or ROS (oxidative stress) may be needed.
✅What is DFI and who should get it done?
→ DNA Fragmentation Index helps identify sperm DNA damage; best for smokers, failed IUI/IVF cases, or unexplained infertility.
✅What is hemizona assay and why is it done?
→ It checks sperm’s ability to bind with the egg’s outer layer—helpful in unexplained infertility.
✅What causes blood in semen or sudden colour changes?
→ Usually infection or trauma, and rarely can indicate cancer. Always consult a urologist.
✅What to do if no semen comes out during ejaculation?
→ It could be retrograde ejaculation. A urine test may help recover sperm.

Infertility isn’t just a female issue. Every couple trying to conceive should consider a complete semen evaluation by a trained expert. Don’t rely on guesswork or myths. Get real answers from real tests. If your report is confusing or concerning, we’re here to help.

Childbirth (also called labour, birth, partus or parturition) is the culmination of a human pregnancy or gestation period with birth of one or more newborn infants from a woman’s uterus. The process of normal human childbirth is categorized in three stages of labour: the shortening and dilation of the cervix, descent and birth of the infant, and birth of the placenta. In some cases, childbirth is achieved through caesarean section, the removal of the neonate through a surgical incision in the abdomen, rather than through vaginal birth

Prostate biopsy is a procedure in which small hollow needle-core samples are removed from a man's prostate gland to be examined microscopically for the presence of cancer. It is typically performed when the result from a PSA blood test rises to a level that is associated with the possible presence of prostate cancer.

The DASH diet is a lifelong approach to healthy eating that's designed to help treat or prevent high blood pressure (hypertension). The DASH diet encourages you to reduce the sodium in your diet and eat a variety of foods rich in nutrients that help lower blood pressure, such as potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Thoracentesis is a procedure used to obtain a sample of fluid from the space around the lungs. Normally, only a thin layer of fluid is present in the area between the lungs and chest wall. However, some conditions can cause a large amount of fluid to accumulate. This collection of fluid is called a pleural effusion.

When foreign organisms such as bacteria enter the body, the immune system sends white blood cells to fight the infection. This causes swelling (inflammation) at the site of infection and the death of nearby tissue, creating a hole called a cavity, which fills with pus to form an abscess.

Major signs and symptoms include enlargement of the liver and spleen (hepatosplenomegaly), a low number of red blood cells (anemia), easy bruising caused by a decrease in blood platelets (thrombocytopenia), lung disease, and bone abnormalities such as bone pain, fractures, and arthritis.
