About half of infertile couples are affected by male factor infertility. At InVia Fertility, we take a team approach where both male and female reproductive experts work with the couple.

We offer a wide range of male infertility treatments, including:

  • Testicular/Epidydimal Sperm Aspiration (TESA) - A needle biopsy of the testicle. It is an office procedure performed under local anesthesia. A small incision is made in the scrotal skin and a needle is used to collect tissue from the testicle.
  • Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) - A needle is placed into the epididymis where a pocket of sperm will be found and aspirated.
  • Micro Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (MESA) - A way of obtaining sperm from men with a reproductive tract blockage (i.e., after a vasectomy or congenital absence of the vas deferens). We make a 1/2-inch incision in the scrotal skin to isolate the epididymis. A microscope is used to examine the tubules of the epididymis that contain the sperm. All of the sperm-containing fluid is collected and taken to the IVF lab for processing, use and freezing.
  • Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) - A micromanipulation (occurring under the microscope) procedure in which a single sperm is injected directly into the egg to enable fertilization. We use this for couples where the man has very low sperm counts or non-motile sperm (sperm that don't swim effectively toward the egg). The embryo is then transferred to the uterus.
  • Male Endocrinology Evaluation - A functioning reproductive endocrine system is a prerequisite for male fertility. A clinical endocrinology evaluation determines whether the patient has an abnormality which affects testosterone production or action.
