An infertile man can be offered different types of therapies. There is an
extensive battery of therapeutic options available for male disorders. However,
if initial simple therapies have failed, or if the sperm disorders are of
moderate to severe intensity, then the couple is offered either intrauterine
insemination therapy or advanced reproductive technologies, such as IVF with
ICSI. Intrauterine inseminations using the partner's sperm can be performed in
couples suffering from male infertility if the sperm disorders are mild or
moderate. Advanced techniques are needed and are much more efficient, for many
types of male infertility. These include in vitro fertilization and
intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI). ICSI has revolutionized the treatment
of male infertility. Today, we can effectively treat almost any type of sperm
disorder including very low sperm count, motility, or morphology, presence of
antisperm antibodies and even men without any sperm in their ejaculate (azoospermia).
In these cases, sperm can usually be retrieved from the testes or epididymis at
SEFC by very simple outpatient surgical procedures combined with ICSI.

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) provides an alternative method of achieving a
pregnancy for couples who have tried and have been unsuccessful with other
fertility treatments. In
many cases, it is the therapy of first choice. In a normal conception cycle, an
egg is released from the ovary and unites with a sperm cell that has traveled
through the
uterus and fallopian tubes after being deposited in the vagina during
intercourse. When the sperm penetrates the egg, fertilization occurs. The
fertilized egg develops further as it moves through the tube into the uterus.
Implantation does not occur until several days after fertilization. The IVF
procedure allows the union of the egg and the sperm and early growth of the
embryo to occur in the laboratory. For a pregnancy to result through IVF, four
steps must be successfully completed. Pregnancy cannot occur if even one step of
the procedures fails.
