Infertility affects both men and women, yet most conversations focus only on female health. Male infertility is responsible for nearly 50% of all infertility cases in Indian couples, as per ICMR. From lifestyle habits and hormonal imbalances to chronic illnesses and genetic issues, many factors can affect male reproductive health. Early awareness and accurate diagnosis can make a huge difference.
At Dr Batra's®, we provide a compassionate, science-backed approach to treating male infertility. Our expert doctors combine personalised homeopathy with advanced diagnostics and supportive care to address the root causes, improve sperm health, and enhance fertility outcomes.
What Causes Male Infertility?
Here are the most common reasons for male infertility, explained:
Diabetes: High blood sugar can affect hormone levels and nerve functions involved in ejaculation.
Retrograde ejaculation (semen flows backwards into the bladder): Prevents semen from exiting through the penis.
Obstruction in the reproductive tract: Blockages in the sperm ducts prevent sperm from reaching semen.
Low testosterone levels or hormone imbalances: Hormones regulate sperm production; an imbalance leads to a low sperm count.
Infections of the prostate or testes: Can damage reproductive tissues and reduce sperm quality.
Injury to the testes: Trauma can lead to reduced sperm production or function.
Certain medications (for BP, arthritis, etc.): Some drugs interfere with hormone levels or sperm quality.
Retrograde ejaculation (semen flows backward into the bladder): Prevents semen from exiting through the penis.
High fevers, kidney disease, or testicular cancer: Chronic illnesses can impact hormone production and sperm health.
Congenital (birth) defects: Structural problems or missing vas deferens can impair fertility.
Chemotherapy or radiation exposure: Cancer treatments can damage sperm production.
Sexually transmitted infections: Can lead to scarring or damage to the reproductive system.
Anaemia and other chronic illnesses: These can reduce overall vitality and reproductive efficiency.
Insights into a global study
A study by the National Homoeopathy Research Institute (Kottayam) documented 7 couples who conceived naturally after personalised homeopathic treatment. All had infertility for over 2 years. With monthly follow-ups and individualised remedies, each couple conceived within 2 to 8 months. This PubMed case study shows homeopathy can support safe and effective infertility care.
Symptoms and Signs to Watch For
Trouble getting your partner pregnant after a year
Low libido or difficulty with erections
Swelling or pain in the testicle area
Reduced facial or body hair (hormonal signs)
Lumps or discomfort in the testicles
History of surgeries or trauma to the reproductive area
Dr Batra’s® pro tip:
Male infertility accounts for nearly 50% of infertility cases, often due to low sperm count, infections, or stress. Homeopathy helps by treating root causes like hormonal imbalance and emotional stress, naturally and without side effects.

Are there natural ways to boost male fertility?
Yes, lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, reducing alcohol intake, and quitting smoking can significantly improve sperm quality.
What is the most common cause of male infertility?
Hormonal imbalance and low sperm count are the leading causes.
Can male infertility be cured?
