MALE HORMONE SPECIALIST – DHA LAHORE
Specialist evaluation of hormonal causes of low sperm count, poor motility, and male infertility in DHA Lahore.
مردانہ بانجھ پن کی بہت سی وجوہات ہارمونل ہوتی ہیں۔ ڈاکٹر رضوان نیازی خون کے ٹیسٹ سے وجہ معلوم کرکے مناسب علاج تجویز کرتے ہیں۔ صحیح تشخیص سے IVF کی ضرورت اکثر نہیں پڑتی۔
Male infertility affects approximately one in six couples, and in almost half of cases the issue lies with the male partner. A significant proportion of these cases have a hormonal origin that is diagnosable and treatable.
The hypothalamic-pituitary-testicular axis controls sperm production. Disruption at any point in this pathway leads to reduced sperm count, poor motility, or abnormal sperm morphology.
Early hormonal investigation can identify treatable causes and may restore natural sperm production, avoiding the need for invasive fertility procedures.
Dr. Rizwan Niazi evaluates the full hormonal pathway involved in sperm production and male reproductive health.
Low LH and FSH means the testes receive no signal to produce testosterone or sperm. This condition is treatable with hormone therapy.
Hyperprolactinaemia suppresses LH and FSH, reducing sperm production. Prolactin-lowering medication restores normal reproductive hormone levels.
Both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism impair sperm quality. Correcting thyroid hormone levels improves sperm parameters in affected patients.
When the testes themselves are unable to produce adequate sperm, the underlying cause is investigated and treatment options discussed.
A structured approach ensures no hormonal cause is missed and that the most appropriate treatment is selected.
LH, FSH, total and free testosterone, prolactin, thyroid function, oestradiol, SHBG, and inhibin B are reviewed.
Sperm count, motility, morphology, and volume are reviewed alongside hormone data to identify the most likely cause.
Options include hormone therapy to stimulate sperm production, prolactin-lowering agents, thyroid treatment, and referral to reproductive medicine where needed.
When a hormonal cause is present, targeted medical treatment can restore sperm production naturally, avoiding the need for invasive fertility procedures in many cases.
A full hormone panel identifies whether the infertility is pituitary, testicular, or systemic in origin.
Hormonal male infertility often responds to medical treatment, which may restore natural sperm production without IVF or ICSI.
Where referral to a reproductive specialist is needed, Dr. Rizwan Niazi coordinates care with the appropriate team.
Yes. Low LH and FSH, elevated prolactin, thyroid disorders, and low testosterone can all impair sperm production and quality. These are identified through a hormone blood panel and are often treatable with medication.
The standard starting point is a semen analysis combined with a hormone blood panel (LH, FSH, testosterone, prolactin, thyroid function). Together these tests identify whether a hormonal cause is present.
Indirectly, yes. Testosterone is essential for sperm production. Low testosterone combined with low LH and FSH points to a pituitary or hypothalamic cause that is often treatable.
In many cases, yes. Hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, elevated prolactin, and thyroid disorders often respond well to targeted hormone treatment, restoring or significantly improving sperm production within 3-6 months.
Not necessarily. If a hormonal cause is identified, medical treatment may restore adequate sperm production naturally. IVF or ICSI is considered when medical treatment does not produce sufficient improvement.
Sperm production takes approximately 74 days, so the effect of any treatment is assessed after at least 3 months. Some patients see significant improvement within this period.
