Sperm Retrieval in Houston
For men facing male factor infertility, sperm retrieval can open the door to fertility treatment options that may not have been possible otherwise. Our clinic employs a patient-centric approach to handling delicate procedures like sperm retrieval and our reproductive urologist, Dr. Russel Williams, is more than happy to discuss your options if you're interested in learning more about yoursperm retrieval options in Houston.
The Sperm Retrieval Procedure Explained
Sperm retrieval is a process of collecting sperm from other parts of the reproductive tract for men who cannot ejaculate or have little to no sperm in the semen (azoospermia). This process may support couples pursuing pregnancy when sperm is not present in the semen or ejaculation is not possible. The retrieved sperm is used for in vitro fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) to increase the possibility of pregnancy.
The process may involve a simple aspiration if there is a blockage or an extensive sampling of the testes in those who have sperm production issues. Dr. Russel Williams, reproductive urologist and sperm retrieval doctor at The Y Factor, discourages diagnostic testing and biopsies before sperm retrieval because they can create unwanted inflammation. Once your sperm is surgically retrieved, it can be used with in vitro fertilization, which is typically the preferred method for men facing fertility issues at our clinic.
Determining Your Candidacy for Sperm Retrieval
Good candidates for sperm retrieval may include men with acquired or congenital reproductive tract obstruction, those with azoospermia, or men who wish to undergo this procedure instead of surgical reconstruction. Men undergoing medical treatments such as chemotherapy may also talk with The Y Factor about coordinating with their IVF clinic on next steps. Those who've undergone a vasectomy and wish to have a child without reversing the procedure may also be good candidates for some sperm retrieval treatments like PESA (Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration).
