Infertility: Management
Couples who have difficulty conceiving may still achieve pregnancy if attention is paid to the female partner, timing of intercourse and general health measures.
If there is a treatable cause, like hormone deficiency or infection, then fertility may be improved by treating these.
In most men with a low count and poor quality sperm, there is no specific treatment. Couples often choose Assisted Reproductive Technology (IVF and ICSI) to achieve fertilisation. In men with no sperm, use of donor semen is available.
