Unfulfilled desire to have children

Support on the path to fatherhood in the case of an unfulfilled desire to have children.

The unfulfilled desire to have children: a sensitive topic

In Germany, around 15% of couples are unintentionally childless, and this figure continues to rise.
One reason for this is that many couples postpone the desire to have children for various reasons, while fertility decreases with age.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines an unfulfilled desire to have children as the absence of pregnancy within one year despite regular, unprotected sexual intercourse.

It is therefore recommended that only after this period should a comprehensive medical examination of the causes of possible infertility be carried out, in which both partners should be involved.
If male fertility problems are suspected, a specialist in urology should carry out a urological and urological examination and appropriate diagnosis and treatment.

Causes of male infertility

There are numerous factors that can affect male fertility. In most cases, the causes are biological. Hormonal imbalances, genetic abnormalities and diseases of the testicles or vas deferens can play a role. Psychological factors such as everyday stress are not usually the cause of fertility problems. However, the unfulfilled desire to have a child often leads to considerable stress, which can put a heavy strain on both the psyche of those affected and their relationship.

Diagnostics and treatment options

The treatment options for male infertility are very diverse, depending on the cause.
The first step is a comprehensive diagnosis.
This usually includes a spermiogram, which assesses both the quality and quantity of sperm.
In addition, blood tests are carried out to check hormone levels.
Various treatment approaches can be selected based on the results.
In many cases, lifestyle adjustments, such as giving up smoking and alcohol and eating a balanced diet, can lead to an improvement in the spermiogram.

In addition, there are various drug and hormonal treatments that can improve sperm quality.
Hormone therapies are used for certain hormonal disorders and reduced sperm production, while drug treatments can be helpful for inflammatory blockages or ejaculation disorders.
Antibiotics may also be necessary if the cause is an infection.
