Male Infertility Treatment in Sirsa, Haryana
Expert Diagnosis & Advanced Treatment | PESA · TESA · Varicocelectomy · ICSI | 25 Years of Trust
Male infertility is more common than most people realise — and in Sirsa and across Haryana, it’s still among the most under-discussed reasons why couples struggle to conceive. Roughly 40 to 50 per cent of infertility cases have a male factor involved. Yet a large number of men arrive at Apex Hospital only after their partner has already undergone repeated investigations. The good news is that most causes of male infertility are treatable, especially when identified early.
At Apex Hospital in Sirsa, male infertility is treated as a shared concern — not a secondary one. Dr. R.K. Mehta, our Founder and Chief Surgeon, leads all surgical sperm retrieval procedures and male fertility evaluations. Dr. Manisha Mehta, our IVF specialist and gynaecologist, manages the IVF and ICSI cycles that follow. When both partners need evaluation, it happens in a single visit, under one roof.
Elsewhere, this means being sent back and forth between a urologist and a separate IVF clinic. You will be losing time, continuity, and often cycle itself. But not at Apex Hospital. Both specialists work from the same building which is how we have achieved the region’s first PESA baby. That level of coordination is rare — and it makes a measurable difference in outcomes.

When Should the Male Partner Be Evaluated?
Couples sometimes spend months – sometimes even years – running every test imaginable on the female side before anyone suggests checking on the male partner. Apex Hospital in Sirsa takes the opposite approach! Both partners are assessed from the first consultation itself. Not as afterthought once other avenues are exhausted.
While Dr. R.K Mehta evaluates male fertility, Dr. Manisha Mehta assesses the female side in the same building. A joint picture forms almost immediately – often revealing correctable cause far sooner than drawn-out, sequential workup would.
You should consult a specialist for male fertility evaluation if:
- You and your partner have been trying to conceive for 12 months or more without success
- A semen analysis has shown low sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal morphology
- You’ve been diagnosed with azoospermia (no sperm in the ejaculate)
- Previous IVF or IUI cycles have failed — especially where fertilisation was poor
- You’ve had a history of mumps, undescended testes, testicular injury, or hernia surgery
- You have known varicocele, or swelling or discomfort in the scrotum
- You have hormonal imbalances, thyroid issues, or a history of chronic illness
Don’t wait for the problem to get worse. The longer male infertility goes unassessed, the fewer treatment options tend to remain simple. Getting checked early isn’t just faster. It keeps more paths open!
Common Causes of Male Infertility We Diagnose and Treat
Male infertility doesn’t always look the same. The causes can range from structural problems to hormonal imbalances, lifestyle factors, or genetic conditions. At Apex Hospital, we run a thorough diagnostic workup before recommending any treatment — because the right cause determines the right solution.
Varicocele
A varicocele — enlarged veins in the scrotum — is the single most common correctable cause of male infertility. These veins raise the temperature inside the scrotum, which gradually damages sperm production and quality over time. Many men don’t know they have it until a fertility workup reveals it. Surgical correction through varicocelectomy significantly improves sperm count, motility, and morphology, particularly in men under 40.
Azoospermia — Obstructive and Non-Obstructive
Azoospermia means there is no sperm in the ejaculate. It can happen because of a blockage in the reproductive tract (obstructive) or because the testes aren’t producing sperm in adequate quantities (non-obstructive). Both types can be addressed at Apex Hospital using PESA and TESA respectively — minimally invasive procedures performed by Dr. R.K. Mehta.
Poor Sperm Quality — Count, Motility, Morphology
A semen analysis may show low sperm count (oligospermia), poor forward movement (asthenospermia), or abnormally shaped sperm (teratospermia). These conditions affect the sperm’s ability to fertilise an egg naturally and can also reduce IVF outcomes unless addressed. Depending on the severity, treatment ranges from hormonal therapy to lifestyle intervention to ICSI.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation
A semen report can appear entirely normal and still contain significant DNA damage within the sperm. High sperm DNA fragmentation is one of the most overlooked causes of failed IVF cycles and recurrent early pregnancy loss. A dedicated DNA fragmentation test is part of our evaluation protocol for men who have had repeated failed cycles or unexplained fertilisation failure.
Hormonal Imbalances
Low testosterone, elevated FSH or LH, thyroid dysfunction, and hyperprolactinaemia can all suppress sperm production. These are medical conditions that respond well to targeted treatment — but they’re often missed in a standard semen analysis alone. Hormonal evaluation is always part of our male infertility workup.
Infections and Lifestyle Factors
Untreated genital infections, past STIs, excessive heat exposure, smoking, alcohol, anabolic steroid use, and chronic obesity can significantly impair sperm production and quality. These factors are often reversible with the right guidance and treatment.
Male Infertility Diagnosis at Apex, Haryana
We don’t start with assumptions. And we certainly don’t stop at the first test that comes back abnormal. Every male infertility evaluation at Apex Hospital follows structured workup designed to find actual cause. Not just confirm that a problem exists.
- Complete semen analysis — count, motility, morphology, volume, and liquefaction
- Sperm DNA fragmentation test — especially for men with prior IVF failure or recurrent loss
- Hormonal blood panel — FSH, LH, testosterone, prolactin, thyroid function
- Scrotal ultrasound — to detect varicocele, testicular abnormalities, or obstructions
- Genetic testing — in selected cases of severe azoospermia (Y-chromosome microdeletion, karyotype)
- Clinical examination by Dr. R.K. Mehta — because imaging and tests tell you what; the doctor’s examination tells you why
Once every piece of this picture is in place, we build a treatment plan around your specific findings. Never a one-size-fits-all protocol!

Fertility Care for Both Partners Under One Roof
Ask any couple who’s been through fertility treatment elsewhere and they all will tell you the same thing – the hardest part wasn’t procedures. It’s the back-and-forth. Urologist here. IVF clinic there. Two sets of reports never quite talk to each other. One of Apex Hospital’s clearest advantages in male infertility treatment is that this gap simply doesn’t exist for us.
While Dr. R.K. Mehta handles surgical side – PESA, TESA, and varicocelectomy for men, Dr. Manisha Mehta manages the IVF and ICSI cycle for women. In the same building and often on the same day, sperm is retrieved. That coordination is how this hospital went on to deliver the region’s first PESA baby.
For couples dealing with male infertility in Haryana and surrounding areas — Fatehabad, Hanumangarh, Ellenabad, Bathinda, Abohar — this means the entire male infertility pathway happens in one place. No shuttling between clinics. No lost paperwork or miscommunication between teams.
Patients travelling from Rajasthan can begin with consultation and initial evaluation at our Hanumangarh branch, with complex surgical cases handled at the Sirsa flagship centre.

ICSI
Ovarian stimulation and egg collection in ICSI (intracytoplasmic sperm injection) and IVF are exactly the same. However, in an ICSI cycle each suitable mature egg is injected with a single prepared sperm cell.
TESA, PESA & MESA
The usual way of producing sperm for use in Assisted Reproductive Technology is manual stimulation. In cases where medical or religious factors prevent this, surgical methods can be used.
Male Infertility FAQs
Varicocele — enlarged veins in the scrotum — is the most common correctable cause. It’s present in around 35–40% of infertile men and can be surgically treated. Other common causes include low sperm count, poor motility, hormonal imbalances, and azoospermia.
Yes, in many cases. If the cause is obstructive (a blockage), sperm can be retrieved using PESA. If it is non-obstructive, TESA is used to extract sperm directly from testicular tissue. The retrieved sperm is then used with ICSI for fertilisation. Apex Hospital has helped many azoospermic couples achieve successful pregnancies using these techniques.
Not always. For mild male factor infertility — low count with reasonable motility — IUI may be the first step. For moderate to severe cases, ICSI is the gold standard. For men with azoospermia requiring PESA or TESA, ICSI is always used alongside sperm retrieval.
Yes. A standard semen analysis measures count, motility, and morphology — but it does not measure sperm DNA integrity. High sperm DNA fragmentation can cause poor fertilisation, poor embryo development, and repeated IVF failure, even when the semen report appears normal. We recommend a DNA fragmentation test for men with unexplained infertility or prior IVF failure.
Sperm production takes approximately 74 days to complete a cycle, so most patients see measurable improvements in sperm parameters within three to six months after varicocelectomy. Some men see significant changes by 3 months; others take up to 9 months. The extent of improvement depends on the severity of the varicocele and the baseline sperm parameters.
Yes, and we actively encourage it. Dr. R.K. Mehta evaluates the male partner for urological and sperm-related factors, while Dr. Manisha Mehta assesses the female partner. Having both evaluations in one visit is more efficient, reduces the emotional burden of separate appointments, and helps us build a joint treatment plan much faster.

At most clinics, men needing PESA or TESA are referred out to a urologist. Retrieved sperm is then sent to a different IVF centre for the ICSI cycle. Two separate teams and two sets of paperwork are then created. This often causes a delay between retrieval and fertilisation.
Things are different at Apex Hospital, however. Dr. R.K. Mehta performs the retrieval and Dr. Manisha Mehta runs ICSI cycle in the same hospital. Often on the same day. This is how we have achieved the region’s first PESA baby. And it remains one of the few places in Haryana where this entire pathway happens under one roof!
