Male Factor Infertility

There have been dramatic developments for the treatment of male infertility by the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and advanced surgical epididymal and testicular sperm retrieval techniques. These advances provide the potential for fertility treatment where the only options years ago were donor insemination or adoption. IVF is the best treatment option for couples facing these issues.

Certain IVF centers are particularly experienced in the evaluation and treatment of male factor infertility and attract a high volume of patients with this problem. Because they work closely with world-renowned specialists in male reproductive medicine and microsurgery they are able to provide coordinated, collaborative care for both the male and female partner. In addition, the success rate with ICSI varies among IVF programs as it is dependent on the skill of the embryologist performing the technique.

If a couple is faced with male factor infertility, it is crucial that they not limit their options for treatment by attaching themselves to an IVF clinic that is constrained by its own technical limitations. Rhonda will direct couples who require treatment for male infertility to centers that have a particular strength in this area.
