Mysuru Couple Overcomes Severe Male Infertility To Welcome Baby Through Advanced IVF Treatment At Nova IVF Fertility

• Fertility specialists highlight that male-factor infertility contributes to nearly half of all infertility cases.

• Advanced techniques can help achieve pregnancy despite severe sperm abnormalities.

A Mysuru couple who struggled with infertility due to severe male-related infertility has successfully welcomed a healthy baby following advanced fertility treatment at Nova IVF Fertility, Mysuru. The case highlights how personalised treatment planning and advanced sperm retrieval techniques, can help couples achieve parenthood even in complex infertility cases.

Bhavya (25) and Girish (38) (names changed to protect privacy), who had been married for two years, approached Nova IVF Fertility after facing difficulties conceiving naturally. Detailed fertility investigations revealed a combination of male and female factors contributing to infertility. The male partner was diagnosed with severe Azoospermia, a condition characterised by zero sperm in semen. Further tests also revealed bilateral varicocele, a condition which causes enlargement or swelling of the veins on both sides of the testicles. This can also negatively affect sperm production and quality. The female partner was diagnosed with Polyendocrine Metabolic Ovarian Syndrome (earlier called PCOS) and faced irregular periods.

Dr. Prakash Savanur, Fertility Specialist, Nova IVF Fertility, Mysuru, said, “Severe male-factor infertility can significantly reduce the chances of natural conception, but advances in reproductive medicine now enable us to overcome many of these challenges. At Nova IVF Fertility, we recommended IVF only when medically indicated, and in some cases, it may be the most appropriate first-line of treatment for some cases and not treated as a last option. Much like cancer treatment is guided by the stage of the disease, and chemotherapy can be the recommended treatment at first. In the same way, fertility treatment is guided to the severity of infertility. In this case, despite the absence of sperm in the semen, advanced techniques such as TESA (Testicular Sperm Aspiration) allowed us to retrieve sperm directly from the testes and create healthy embryos, giving the couple a strong chance of pregnancy. At Nova IVF Fertility, wherever medically feasible, we strive to help couples conceive using their own eggs and sperm. This case shows the importance of evaluating both partners early and demonstrates how advanced fertility treatments can help couples achieve biological parenthood even in cases of severe male infertility.”

Following a comprehensive fertility evaluation, the couple was advised to undergo Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), an advanced IVF procedure in which a single healthy sperm is injected directly into an egg. The couple achieved pregnancy in the first attempt and delivered a healthy baby. The rest of the embryos were frozen so that the couple can plan their second child using these frozen embryos, and do not have to go through egg retrieval again.

Fertility specialists at Nova IVF Fertility advise couples who are unable to conceive after one year of trying naturally to seek a timely fertility evaluation. Early diagnosis and personalised treatment can significantly improve the chances of achieving a healthy pregnancy, particularly in cases involving severe male-factor infertility.
