Male infertility is more common than most people think—and thankfully, it is often treatable. At my practice in Kolkata, I, Dr. Smaranjit Chatterjee, provide compassionate, customized care to help men overcome fertility challenges and start or expand their families. 

As a leading uro-oncologist, I specialize in not just cancer care but also complex male reproductive issues. Understanding the underlying causes of male infertility is the first step toward effective treatment, and I am committed to guiding every patient with clarity, discretion, and expertise. 

Understanding Male Infertility 

Male infertility refers to a man’s inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female partner. It typically results from – 

• Low sperm production 

• Poor sperm motility or abnormal shape 

• Blockages in the reproductive tract 

• Hormonal imbalances 

• Lifestyle factors like smoking, alcohol, or stress 

• Medical conditions like varicocele or infections 

In some cases, infertility may also be linked to previous cancer treatments, surgeries, or genetic conditions. 

Comprehensive Diagnostic Approach 

At my clinic, we begin with a detailed evaluation that includes: 

• Semen analysis: To assess sperm count, shape, and motility. 

• Hormone tests: To evaluate testosterone and other key reproductive hormones. 

• Scrotal ultrasound: To detect blockages, varicocele, or testicular abnormalities. 

• Genetic testing: When necessary, to identify chromosomal causes. 

• Testicular biopsy: For cases with extremely low sperm count or azoospermia. 

This complete workup helps pinpoint the cause, so we can move toward targeted treatment. 

Advanced Treatment Options 

Based on the diagnosis, treatment may include: 

• Medications & Hormone Therapy 
  To correct hormonal imbalances or treat infections affecting sperm health. 

• Surgical Treatment 

• Varicocelectomy: Surgical repair of varicocele to improve sperm quality. 

• Vasovasostomy: Reversal of vasectomy or correction of blockages. 

• Sperm Retrieval Procedures: Such as TESA or PESA for assisted reproduction. 

• Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART) 
  For some, sperm retrieval followed by IVF or ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) provides excellent success rates. 

Emotional and Holistic Support 

Infertility can be emotionally overwhelming. That’s why I provide not only medical support but also counseling, lifestyle guidance, and stress management. Whether it is working with dietitians, psychologists, or fertility specialists, our care is comprehensive.
