Fertility Treatments For Men
Our reproductive endocrinologists will talk with you about which of these methods could help preserve your fertility.
Sperm Banking
-
Simple and proven technique
- Freezes sperm for future use
- New technologies need fewer sperm to achieve pregnancy
- Banking is useful even if sperm count is low or there is only time for one deposit
- Sperm can be kept frozen indefinitely
Testicular Tissue Freezing
- For some men who cannot bank sperm
- Sperm-bearing tissue removed and frozen for future use
- Method is considered experimental for boys before puberty
- Our reproductive urologists assist in this method
Radiation Shielding
- Special shields placed over one or both testicles reduce the risk of damage to fertility during radiation treatment
