Infertility in Men; Are Men Overlooked at Fertility Centers?

advertisement

With the advent of advanced reproductive technologies, fertility experts debate whether male infertility should even be treated.

Urologists believe varicose veins of the scrotum are the leading cause of male infertility, though the evidence is mixed on whether surgical repair raises pregnancy rates.

Infection is a common cause of infertility in men and often can be treated with antibiotics.

Who's leading the conversation?
This visualization below allows you to see the impact that each user has on the current conversation. The top row contains the group of users who have had the most impact, the 2nd row the group of users who have had the 2nd most impact (et cetera). Users with similar impact are grouped together, and the average score of the group is shown to the left of the group. The author of the article is also shown on the left, in their corresponding group. Each user's score is based on the number of comments the user has made plus the number of votes their comments have received. The scores are calculated relative one another, so while their absolute value is not particularly important, their relative difference does indicate a larger difference in impact on the conversation.

In 1992, for example, an advance in I.V.F. called ICSI, for intracytoplasmic sperm injection, provided fuel for the reproductive endocrinologists' view that most men do not need fertility-enhancing treatments. In the procedure, pronounced ICK-see, a single sperm is inserted directly into an egg. ICSI revolutionized treatment for men with severely low sperm counts. Reproductive endocrinologists say that trying to improve sperm count in most men is no longer necessary, because only a few healthy sperm are needed.
