Siliguri is witnessing a worrying spike in male infertility, with nearly 50% of male patients at Nova IVF Fertility now showing abnormalities in sperm count, motility, or quality. Fertility specialists report that the condition, once more common in older men, is increasingly affecting those in their late 20s and early 30s.
According to Nova IVF Fertility experts, the rise is strongly linked to lifestyle habits, excessive tobacco consumption, environmental pollutants, and undiagnosed diseases such as diabetes and thyroid disorders. “We are increasingly seeing abnormal semen results across all age groups,” said Dr. Yamini Agarwal, highlighting that sperm DNA fragmentation — ideally under 20% — is now reaching 40–50% in many samples.
Doctors warn that smoking, processed foods, and pesticide exposure are damaging sperm health in the region. Dr. Satabdi Dey noted that many men opt only for semen tests, ignoring essential blood tests that could detect treatable underlying conditions. In an unexpected trend, unmarried men are now approaching certified fertility centres for precautionary sperm quality checks, indicating a shift in awareness. Nova IVF Fertility Siliguri continues to offer advanced ART and diagnostic services, backed by internationally trained specialists and modern lab facilities.
