Andrology

What is Andrology ?

Andrology is a branch of medicine concerned with male health, focusing on male fertility and sexual health. It is now widely accepted that the male factor is responsible for about 40% of the causes of infertility, the female factor for 40% and in 20% of the cases there is a combined male and female factor involved. Even with such a high incidence of male factor involvement, this branch of medicine has not been given due importance. We believe that the time has come, where attention needs to be paid to various social and physiological aspects of the male partner, in order to get a better understanding of the causes of male infertility.

Male infertility

What causes male infertility ?

  1. Abnormal Sperm Production / Function

  2. Problems with ejaculation of sperm due to sexual problems, such as erectile dysfunction, Premature ejaculation, ejaculatory incompetence, retrograde ejaculation or blockage of the part of testicle that contains sperm epididymis or scarring from genital infection

We believe in individualized treatment protocols and for which evaluation of partners is absolutely essential. Our Andrologist Dr. M. Joe Kaushik is one of few Andrologist in India who is trained to improve the chances of natural conception by Cleveland Hospital (Ohio, USA)

Evaluation of Male

Our Evaluation involves

  1. Comprehensive analysis of your history and clinical examination

  2. Advanced semen Analysis

This is the cornerstone for assessment of male fertility. We follow the most advanced methods of manual analysis (Add Standard) and CASA (for quality check) based on the recommendation of World Health Organization (WHO)

Sperm Function Tests

DNA Fragmentation Index (DFI)
Reactive Oxygen Services (ROS)
Acrosome Reaction (Sperms ability to fertilize Egg)
Hypo Osmolality Swelling Test (HOS)

Hormonal Analysis

This test is sone to assess the function of the cells producing sperm in the testis

This technique involves injection of autologous mesenchymal   
stem cells in to the testes to stimulate the production of sperm
Result: up to 80% of the individual will start to ejaculate the sperm in semen within 3-6 months of the Procedure

 b. Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro TESE)
