Stem cell therapy for male infertility

Male infertility is due to low sperm production, misshapen or immobile sperms or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Other reasons may be illness, injuries, chronic health problems, chemotherapy in cancer patients, lifestyle choices and many other factors.

Tests and Diagnosis

• General physical examination and medical history, which includes physical examination of genitals, questions about inherited conditions, chronic health problems, injuries or surgeries that could affect fertility, also questions about sexual habits and sexual development during puberty
• Semen Analysis – semen collected is sent to the laboratory to measure the number of sperms present and the morphology (abnormal shape) and motility of the sperm. The doctor may also recommend additional tests like scrotal ultrasound, hormone testing, genetic testing, testicular biopsy, sperm function tests etc.

Conventional Treatments

• Surgery
• Treating infections
• Hormone treatments
• Assisted reproductive technology (ART)

Stem cell Therapy for male infertility

Male infertility is on the rise due to several reasons including presence of endocrine disruptors in the environment. As a result of this many resort to donor sperms for I V F, a practice which is unethical and dangerous. Since collection, storage and distribution of donor sperms is unregulated several evil practices are prevalent.  Numerous studies and clinical trials conducted all over the World have shown that Adult tissue specific stem cells from patient’s bone marrow or mesenchymal cells both autologous or allogenic can re-establish spermatogenesis providing an acceptable method for infertile males.  Enrichment of stem cell should done in cGMP lab using validated SOP. Mononuclear fraction containing CD34+ cells and mesenchymal cells can be used or mesenchymal cells can be cultivated and used.
