Surgical Correction

For issues like varicocele (enlarged veins in the scrotum), blocked vas deferens, or other structural problems.

Surgery can help restore sperm flow or improve quality.

Assisted Reproductive Technologies (ART)

Intrauterine insemination (IUI) or Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI).

Especially useful in cases of low sperm count or poor motility

Female: Ovulation Induction with Medications

For women with irregular or absent ovulation.

Common drugs: Clomiphene citrate, letrozole, or injectable gonadotropins.

Surgical Treatments

To remove fibroids, polyps, endometriosis tissue, or unblock fallopian tubes.

Laparoscopy is a common method.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is the most common.

Often used when other treatments fail or in cases like advanced maternal age or severe endometriosis.
