Men's Sexual Health covers erectile dysfunction, low testosterone, premature ejaculation, infertility, and the medical-not-embarrassing conditions men in India often delay addressing. Our doctors and editorial team explain when these symptoms point to underlying disease (diabetes, heart disease, depression), what evaluation looks like, and what current treatment options actually achieve.

Useful questions include: What is likely cause of azoospermia? What are realistic retrieval chances in my case? Is hormonal treatment recommended first? What genetic tests needed? What happens if sperm not found? Will sperm be frozen if retrieved? How experienced is surgical team with MicroTESE? These discussions matter more than generic online success percentages.
Expert answers from our medical team
Very common — around 30% of men over 40 have some degree of erectile dysfunction. It's usually treatable. Causes range from vascular disease (a warning sign for heart problems), diabetes, medications, hormonal issues, and psychological factors — often several combined. Treatment options include lifestyle changes, oral medications (sildenafil, tadalafil), addressing underlying conditions, and — for some — specialist treatments. A urologist or andrologist can assess and treat this.
If it's persistent (more than a few weeks), affecting your relationships or self-esteem, or accompanied by other symptoms (chest pain on exertion, changes in urination, low libido). Erection problems can be an early sign of cardiovascular disease — sometimes preceding a heart attack by 3-5 years. Getting checked isn't just about sex; it's a whole-body health signal.
A semen analysis measures sperm count (normal: over 15 million per ml), motility (over 40%), morphology, and volume. Testing needs 2-5 days of abstinence beforehand, then a fresh sample delivered to a certified lab within an hour. Results vary — one abnormal test should be repeated. Fertility depends on both partners, so both should be evaluated when there's difficulty conceiving after a year of trying.
Almost never. Most testosterone-boosting supplements have no evidence of raising testosterone meaningfully, and some are adulterated with actual hormones or banned substances. Genuine testosterone deficiency needs proper blood testing and — if confirmed — physician-prescribed hormone therapy with monitoring. Feeling tired or having lower libido doesn't automatically mean low testosterone; it's often lifestyle, sleep, or mental health related.
Directly. Doctors are used to these conversations and won't judge. Book a slot with enough time (not a 5-minute follow-up). If uncomfortable with your regular doctor, seek an urologist or andrologist specifically. Say 'I want to discuss sexual health' upfront so the doctor allocates time. These conversations get easier — and the sooner problems are addressed, the better the outcomes.
