- Male Factor Infertility
A man’s role in conception is considered to be relatively simple and straightforward, but in fact his reproductive physiology is quite complicated.
- Evaluation
Summary of the routine evaluation for male factor infertility.
- Treatment Options
There are two basic ways to deal with male factor infertility. The first is surgical and the other is pharmacologic.
- Options for Sperm Retrieval
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection has opened a whole new world in the area of sperm retrieval. By reducing the critical number of sperm needed to establish fertilization to a single sperm, urologists can now be much more aggressive in their search for sperm in any reservoir.
