Male Infertility

Male infertility means a man is not able to impregnate a woman. Our compassionate team of both female and male infertility specialists works together with one goal in mind – to help a couple conceive a child. We specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of men with male infertility conditions by offering discreet and understanding care.

Common causes of male infertility include:

  • Cancer treatments
  • Chronic (ongoing) health conditions, such as diabetes
  • Exposure to certain environmental factors like chemicals
  • Genetics
  • Infections such as STDs
  • Physical injuries
  • Problems with the genitals or sperm

After performing a physical exam and asking about your medical history, our caring team discusses your concerns about infertility and makes suggestions to help you conceive a child. We may order additional tests for diagnosis, including:

  • Blood tests
  • Genetic tests
  • Hormone tests
  • Imaging tests, such as ultrasounds
  • Semen analysis tests
  • Testicular biopsy (take a sample of tissue)
  • Urine tests

Infertility treatments may include:

  • Electroejaculation (procedure to collect sperm using an electric probe) after a spinal cord injury
  • Lifestyle changes
  • Intra-abdominal robotic vasal (vessel) reconstruction for men with an injury to the vas deferens (duct that moves sperm) from prior hernia repair surgery
  • Medications
  • Microsurgical Epididymal Sperm Extraction or MESA (retrieving sperm through a surgical incision)
  • Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration or PESA (retrieving sperm without a surgical incision)
  • Retrograde ejaculation treatment (fixing ejaculation so sperm does not enter bladder)
  • Retrieving sperm in men who have no sperm in their ejaculate
  • Robotic micro-TESE (Testicular Sperm Extraction)
  • Robotic vasectomy reversal
  • Robotic vasoepididymostomy (reversing a vasectomy)
  • Robotic vasosvasostomy (reversing a vasectomy)
  • Sperm cryopreservation (preserving sperm by freezing)
  • Vasal reconstruction for congenital obstruction (repair blockages)
  • Vibratory ejaculation (procedure to collect sperm using vibrations) after a spinal cord injury
