Fertility Treatment for Men: How Panama Fertility Helps Bahamian Couples Build Families
Understanding Male Infertility
What Is Male Infertility?
Male infertility refers to the inability to cause pregnancy in a fertile female after a year or more of unprotected intercourse. It is often due to problems with sperm production, quality, or delivery.
It’s important to remember that infertility is not just a “woman’s issue.” Around 40–50% of all infertility cases involve male factors.
How Common Is It?
Globally, one in seven couples faces infertility, and in about half of these cases, a male fertility problem is a contributing factor. Fortunately, with modern science and advanced reproductive medicine, many of these issues can be diagnosed and treated effectively at Panama Fertility.
Main Causes of Male Infertility
Sperm Disorders
The most frequent cause of male infertility is related to abnormal sperm production or function, which can include:
- Low sperm count (oligospermia)
- Poor sperm motility (asthenozoospermia)
- Abnormal sperm shape (teratozoospermia)
- No sperm in semen (azoospermia)
These conditions can result from genetics, infections, or even temperature-related factors.
Hormonal or Genetic Issues
Hormonal imbalances in testosterone, LH, or FSH can impair sperm production.
In some men, genetic disorders like Klinefelter syndrome or Y-chromosome microdeletions can also impact fertility.
Lifestyle and Environmental Factors
Everyday habits and exposures play a significant role. Smoking, alcohol use, obesity, high stress, exposure to toxins, and even frequent use of saunas or hot tubs can reduce sperm quality.
The specialists at Panama Fertility help identify these lifestyle factors and create a personalized improvement plan.
Diagnostic Tests for Men at Panama Fertility
Before recommending any fertility treatment for men, it’s crucial to identify the underlying cause.
At Panama Fertility, Bahamian patients receive a complete evaluation using the latest diagnostic tools.
Semen Analysis
This is the cornerstone of male fertility diagnosis. The lab assesses sperm count, motility, morphology, and vitality to determine reproductive potential.
Hormonal Blood Tests
Hormone levels help identify whether the issue lies in sperm production or hormonal regulation. Testing includes testosterone, FSH, LH, and prolactin levels.
Genetic Testing and DNA Fragmentation Tests
For men with unexplained infertility or repeated IVF failures, DNA fragmentation and genetic tests provide insight into sperm health and hereditary risks.
This allows Panama Fertility to tailor treatment to each individual’s needs.
Fertility Treatments for Men at Panama Fertility
Lifestyle Modifications and Medical Therapy
Many men see significant improvements through nutritional changes, supplements, exercise, and targeted medications that enhance sperm quality and hormone balance.
Assisted Reproductive Techniques (IUI & IVF)
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Sperm is washed, concentrated, and placed directly into the uterus at ovulation.
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF): Eggs are fertilized with sperm in a lab and then implanted into the uterus.
Both techniques are highly effective for mild to moderate sperm abnormalities.
ICSI – Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
For severe male infertility cases, ICSI (Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection) is the gold standard.
A single healthy sperm is injected directly into an egg using microscopic precision, dramatically increasing fertilization success rates.
This is one of the most successful fertility treatments for men offered at Panama Fertility, especially for Bahamian couples traveling to Panama for care.
Surgical Sperm Retrieval (PESA, TESE, MESA)
If no sperm are found in the semen, sperm can often be extracted directly from the testicles or epididymis using techniques such as:
- PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
- TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction)
- MESA (Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Aspiration)
These procedures are minimally invasive and allow even men with azoospermia to become biological fathers through IVF-ICSI.
