We offer comprehensive fertility care and treatment for men ready to get on the path to parenthood.
How Is Male Infertility Diagnosed?
Infertility can be diagnosed during a fertility assessment. A fertility assessment helps determine what may be causing your infertility and provides a basis for a customized treatment created by your fertility specialist. A fertility assessment begins with a detailed review of your family and medical history to determine if there is a medical or genetic condition that may be causing infertility.
In addition, your fertility specialist may recommend:
- Blood tests that check hormone levels
- Semen analysis
- Imaging of the testicles
You may also undergo a physical exam and genetic testing. Depending on the findings of your fertility assessment and personal history, you may need to complete only some of these tests, or your fertility specialist may recommend them all. Each person is unique, and we provide a personalized approach for everyone.
Fertility Treatments for Men
Our fertility centers offer a range of innovative and personalized fertility treatment options for men struggling with infertility. Your fertility treatment may combine several methods, or your fertility specialist may recommend trying one at a time, depending on the cause of your infertility.
Medication Fertility Treatments
Medication is a common fertility treatment option to address hormone imbalances. Hormone imbalances can cause issues with sperm production, the desire for sex, and other infertility issues. When your hormones return to appropriate levels, it increases the chance of conception.
Your fertility specialist will monitor your hormone levels and sperm quality to determine if this fertility treatment is right for you.
Assisted Reproductive Technologies
Assisted reproductive technologies (ART) are fertility treatment options that use highly advanced technologies to improve the chances of pregnancy. ART fertility treatments include:
- Intrauterine Insemination
- In Vitro Fertilization (IVF)
- Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection
Sperm is collected and examined in order to prepare and then used in a lab setting. The sperm will then fertilize an egg in the lab or may be injected into your partner’s uterus via a catheter for a better chance at a successful pregnancy.
Surgical Fertility Treatments
For some men, infertility is caused by structural issues or blockages in their reproductive organs. These blockages may prevent sperm from becoming part of semen. If sperm isn’t present in semen, then there is no chance of pregnancy.
Minimally invasive surgical procedures can remove these blockages with minimal recovery time. Some minimally invasive procedures can take sperm directly from a man’s testicles in order to select the healthiest sperm to use in fertility treatments like intrauterine insemination, IVF, or Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection.
