In some cases, both partners' tests are normal, and the cause is likely to be immune or psychological factors or an unhealthy lifestyle.
Modern Treatment Methods:

Inducing ovulation with medications or hormonal injections
Intrauterine insemination (IUI)
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI)
Treating infections or performing minor surgeries such as opening blockages or removing cysts
When should you see a doctor?
If a year of marriage has passed without pregnancy with regular sexual intercourse, or only six months if the wife is over 35 years old, a gynecologist specializing in infertility should be consulted.
Early diagnosis and targeted treatment are the key to hope for every couple dreaming of parenthood.
