Introduction

Male factor infertility contributes to nearly 50% of infertility cases worldwide, yet it remains one of the most underdiagnosed and undertreated issues in reproductive medicine. At Pyramedicine, we combine cutting-edge technology, expert medical care, and AI-powered precision to give men and couples the highest possible chance of conception.

1. ICSI as Standard for All IVF Cases

While many fertility centres still rely on conventional IVF methods, Pyramedicine uses Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) as the standard technique in all IVF cycles.
ICSI involves the direct injection of a single healthy sperm into the egg, significantly increasing fertilisation rates, especially in cases with low sperm count or motility.
This modern approach ensures that every patient benefits from maximum precision and optimal success potential, regardless of their sperm parameters.

2. AI Software That Detects the Best Sperm

Our laboratories use AI-driven sperm selection software that analyses sperm motility, morphology, and vitality in real-time.
By comparing each sperm to a vast database of samples from previously successful IVF cases, the system helps embryologists identify and select the most viable sperm for fertilisation.
This means fewer failed fertilisations, stronger embryos, and a higher likelihood of pregnancy.

3. Andrologist Consultation Included in Every Package

At Pyramedicine, we believe that men, too, deserve a comprehensive evaluation.
That’s why every IVF and ICSI package includes a comprehensive consultation with an andrologist, a specialist in male reproductive health.
From hormonal assessment to lifestyle optimisation, our team ensures every contributing factor is managed for holistic fertility improvement.

4. TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction) Available

For men with severe sperm production issues or azoospermia, our clinics offer Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE), a precise, minimally invasive procedure that retrieves sperm directly from the testicular tissue.
When combined with our ICSI and AI-selection process, TESE allows even couples with the most challenging infertility profiles to have a genuine chance at biological parenthood.

Frequently asked questions

How common is male factor infertility?

As a brief overview, 15% which is 1 in 6 couples. 

What are the underlying causes of male factor infertility?

Common underlying causes include:

  • Abnormal serum parameters
  • Obstruction of the vas deferens
  • Hormonal imbalance
  • Testicular injury
  • Testicular atrophy
  • Viral infection 
  • Trauma 

When should someone seek evaluation? When to see a fertility specialist?

  • Female partner is younger than 36 = 1 year of trying to conceive (TTC)
  • Female partner is 36 or older = 6 months of TTC

Why is it important to evaluate male factor infertility?

Because nearly half of all infertility cases involve a male component, evaluating the man ensures no cause is overlooked. Identifying issues like low sperm count, poor motility, or hormonal imbalance allows for targeted treatments and increases the couple’s overall success rate.

What happens during an evaluation?

Evaluation includes:

  • Reproductive & medical history
  • Physical examination 
  • Semen analysis

What are some additional tests?

Beyond a standard semen analysis, further tests may include hormonal profiling (FSH, LH, testosterone), genetic testing, scrotal ultrasound, DNA fragmentation studies, and testicular biopsy (TESE) for men with no sperm in the ejaculate. These help pinpoint the underlying cause.

What are some treatment options?

Treatment depends on the diagnosis and may include lifestyle optimisation, hormonal therapy, surgical sperm retrieval (TESE), or assisted reproduction using ICSI. At Pyramedicine, advanced AI sperm selection software enhances outcomes by identifying the healthiest sperm for fertilisation.

How can someone improve male fertility?

Improving fertility:

  • Healthy lifestyle
    • Nutrition
    • Exercise
  • Avoiding negative substances
    • Smoking
    • Testosterone products
  • Multivitamins (In certain cases)
