Comprehensive, Cutting-Edge Treatment for Male Infertility with Expert Andrology & ART Support
Male factor infertility at Memorial Hospital Turkey gives couples and individuals the opportunity to address sperm quantity, mobility or morphology issues with world-class diagnostics and assisted reproductive technologies. Uninsured patients from North America and Europe will find a highly experienced andrology team, state-of-the-art sperm retrieval methods (such as TESE/MESA) and advanced fertilization procedures like ICSI, all integrated into a supportive international-patient journey designed for clarity, affordability and positive outcomes.
🩺 What Is Male Factor?
Male factor infertility refers to problems in the male partner that reduce the chance of conception. Around 47% of infertility cases in couples are attributed to male issues such as low sperm count, poor sperm motility (mobility) or abnormal sperm morphology (shape). Other underlying causes include obstructions (such as in the epididymis or vas deferens), infections, genetic conditions and testicular damage.
Infertility due to male factor issues often requires a coordinated approach involving both partners, as treating just one side may not resolve the underlying challenge. It’s essential for the male partner to undergo a full evaluation including semen analysis, hormone testing and sometimes imaging, so specific treatment or sperm retrieval methods can be chosen. With the right specialist and tailored plan, male infertility is no longer a roadblock but a treatable step on the journey to parenthood.
🩺 Types of Male Factor Procedures
- Semen Analysis & Genetic / Hormonal Testing – Initial diagnostic step to assess sperm count, motility, morphology, DNA fragmentation and underlying causes.
- Microsurgical Sperm Retrieval (TESE / Micro-TESE / MESA) – Direct extraction of sperm from testicular or epididymal tissue in men with azoospermia or very low sperm count.
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) – Single sperm is injected directly into the egg in the lab; ideal when sperm count or quality is severely compromised.
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and Artificial Insemination (AIH) – Less invasive options for mild sperm abnormalities.
- Lifestyle & Environmental Optimization – Addressing toxin exposure, nutrition, stress, infections and hormonal imbalances that affect sperm health.
🩺 Who Is a Good Candidate?
✔️ Men with diagnosed low sperm count (oligospermia), no sperm in ejaculate (azoospermia), or poor sperm morphology/motility
✔️ Couples in whom a male sperm-parameter abnormality is identified as a significant factor
✔️ Men with known testicular issues, obstructive azoospermia, prior surgeries, or genetic findings
✔️ Patients who have attempted conception via timed intercourse or IUI without success
✔️ Couples planning IVF and requiring advanced fertilization techniques such as ICSI
✔️ Men prepared to address lifestyle factors (smoking, toxins, diet, stress) that impact sperm
✔️ Single men or same-sex male couples needing sperm retrieval for donor or preservation purposes
✔️ Those seeking international fertility care with integrated male diagnostics and ART solutions
📝 Consultation & Preparation
Memorial Hospital offers a thorough assessment to understand the male partner’s reproductive health, identify any contributing factors, and plan the most effective approach for sperm optimization or retrieval before treatment.
✔️ Semen analysis, hormone profile (FSH, LH, testosterone), and genetic testing
✔️ Physical exam and imaging if needed (testes, epididymis, vas deferens)
✔️ Review of lifestyle and environmental factors (toxins, heat, smoking, alcohol, diet, stress)
✔️ Partner fertility assessment and coordinated planning for ICSI or retrieval
✔️ Nutrition and lifestyle guidance to improve sperm health
✔️ Overview of retrieval methods (TESE, MESA, micro-TESE)
✔️ Pre-procedure consent, risk/benefit review, and timeline explanation
✔️ International patient coordination for travel, lodging, translation, and scheduling
🩺 Recovery & Aftercare
After sperm retrieval, Memorial Hospital guides patients through a smooth recovery, updates you on laboratory results, and supports your long-term reproductive health and emotional well-being.
✔️ Mild swelling or discomfort for a few days after TESE/MESA
✔️ Rest and light activity for 24–48 hours
✔️ Stay hydrated; avoid heavy lifting, hot baths, and intense exercise
✔️ Follow-up semen analysis and sperm-viability check
✔️ Embryology updates if sperm are frozen or used for ICSI

✔️ Genetic counseling if any abnormalities were found
✔️ Ongoing andrology follow-ups and hormone monitoring
✔️ Emotional and psychological support for couples
