Father's Day this weekend

As Father's day approaches this June 16, 2010, it is amazing to think about the advances that have been made in infertility treatment of males. There are certainly couples getting pregnant now that would not have been able to conceive prior to the development of ICSI which is used with IVF. Approximately 30 percent of patients that I see in the office have a "male factor" issue. There are specific issues that can affect a man's ability to produce viable sperm, some of which are mechanical such as an undescended testicle or other causes such as using "muscle building supplements" such as steroids. While the use of exogenous steroids is rare, it is not at all uncommon to have a couple come into the office and the male history, while limited is really not remarkable. We then start a basic fertility evaluation including blood work for the female, ultrasound, sometimes a HSG and a semen analysis for the male.

Several days later I get a report which shows very few sperm and I call the wife ( sometimes the husband if I can reach him) and discuss the results. Usually I then go back to the husband and ask, "are you sure you are not taking herbs, etc or anything that may affect sperm development." It seems like at that time, I sometimes get the story that well, I have actually been taking testosterone, etc we find out that this is having an effect on sperm. Nevertheless, I think it is important that men know that today in 2010, we have a lot of tools available to address a low sperm count in males and some, such as ICSI are very effective. We hope to develop a network of men who have been treated in our practice for male factor issues and would be willing to talk to other men about how they found the process of fertility treatment. By educating our patients about treatment options, we are able to help more couples celebrate Father's Day

At Fertility Specialists of Texas, we know that it can be difficult to find comprehensive, complete information about infertility in an easy to understand format - and it can be just as difficult to find the answers you're looking for.

That is why we have created this area on our website to offer multiple resources for support, encouragement, and expert advice, as well as additional educational resources to research on the internet. Each phase of the journey to overcome infertility, (discovery... diagnosis... treatment... pregnancy... resolution), brings its own unique set of challenges. Successful navigation through this difficult period will be enhanced by knowledge, strengthening your ability to make informed decisions about the care you receive.
