Many reasons for male infertility can be corrected by minor surgery with little discomfort and inconvenience to the patient. Some of them are out-patient procedures. These issues generally relate to blockages and constricted blood flow to the testicles or other testicle-related problems. |
Varicocelectomy: This is a surgical procedure for treatment of varicoceles in the testes. A Varicocele is an abnormal enlargement of a vein located in the scrotum and intended to drain the testicles. A Varicocele is caused because of defective valves or a compression in the vein that creates an enlargement. In minor conditions, medication is adequate, but in more severe dilations, surgery is required with a success rate of 97 percent.
Hydrocelectomy: A procedure to remove hydroceles in the scrotum. A hydrocele is a collection of fluid surrounding the testes within the scrotum which can cause pain or interfere with ejaculation. The success rate in surgery is near 100 percent.
Vasectomy reversal: A very common surgery, the type of which will depend on the health of the reproductive system and the kind of vasectomy done in the first place. The success rate of this surgery is over 90 percent.
Epididymal Blockage and Vas Deferens Blockage: A condition where the flow of sperm in the reproductive system is blocked most often because of some infection. Surgery has a 60 percent success rate in correction.
Ejaculatory Duct Obstruction: Affects about 10 percent of men with an obstruction that results in lack of sperm in the semen. The causes for such obstruction are several. Surgery is usually carried out on an out-patient basis with a success rate of 70 percent.
