An unfulfilled desire to have children can be a major emotional burden for many couples. The desire to have a child of their own often grows over years and becomes part of their life plans. However, if pregnancy does not materialize over a longer period of time, many of those affected enter a period of uncertainty, doubt and often blame. In this sensitive phase of life, medically sound and humanly empathetic support is particularly important. At fertisuisse, we attach great importance to clarifying both partners carefully and equally. According to current medical knowledge, the causes of an unfulfilled desire to have children do not lie exclusively with the woman. In around half of all cases, there are also relevant medical reasons in the man that can make conception difficult or prevent it.
The first step in clarifying the man's case is a confidential discussion with the doctor. Existing complaints, medical history, lifestyle habits and possible risk factors can be discussed. A subsequent physical examination can provide indications of organic causes, for example in the area of the testicles or epididymis. In addition, specific laboratory tests are necessary to reliably assess fertility. Particularly important here is the analysis of the ejaculate, in which the number, motility and shape of the sperm are examined, among other things. In addition, certain blood values can provide information about the hormone balance or possible inflammatory processes.modern andrology today offers a wide range of options for precisely analyzing and specifically improving male fertility. In many cases, early diagnosis and individually tailored treatment approaches can significantly increase the chances of a natural pregnancy. Even if spontaneous conception is not possible, modern assisted reproduction techniques open up new ways of fulfilling the desire to have children.
At our practice locations in Olten and Basel, we offer space for open discussions, individual diagnostics and personal support.
