Male Infertility Specialist in Los Angeles

Male infertility can have many causes, but the impact is the same – it can be frustrating trying to get your partner pregnant with no results. With the help of a board-certified urologist like Dr. Houman, you can explore treatment with the latest therapies and technologies that best fit your family’s goals.

Dr. Justin Houman is one of the nation’s leading experts in Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery, a highly competitive subspecialty that equips him to perform the most advanced fertility treatments available. A Board-Certified Urologist and Fellowship-Trained Male Infertility and Microsurgery Specialist at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, he also serves as an Assistant Professor of Urology. This credential is held by less than 2% of urologists in the United States, underscoring his rare expertise in male reproductive health. Patients from across the U.S. and internationally travel to Los Angeles to seek his care.

Dr. Houman is nationally recognized for his precision-driven microsurgical techniques, which he applies to complex fertility cases that many fellowship-trained urologists avoid. His practice has been featured for offering state-of-the-art microsurgical varicocelectomy and other advanced reproductive procedures that address infertility, chronic testicular pain, and low testosterone. His combination of technical mastery and compassionate care makes him one of the most trusted names in male infertility treatment.

What distinguishes Dr. Houman is his ability to take on challenging fertility cases such as azoospermia, post-chemotherapy fertility preservation, Klinefelter’s syndrome, and repeat surgeries after failed attempts elsewhere. Through enhanced recovery protocols and a minimally invasive approach, he reduces discomfort, provides same-day discharge, and helps men return quickly to their lives while addressing the most complex reproductive obstacles.

Comprehensive Diagnostics for Male Infertility

A cornerstone of Dr. Houman’s practice is his commitment to uncovering the root cause of infertility before recommending surgery. He offers a full diagnostic workup that may include:

• Semen analysis to evaluate sperm count, motility, and morphology

• Hormone testing to assess testosterone, FSH, LH, and other reproductive markers

• Testicular ultrasound for structural and vascular assessment

• DNA fragmentation analysis for sperm quality and genetic stability

• Genetic testing to identify underlying causes of infertility
  By combining these diagnostics, Dr. Houman ensures that each patient’s treatment plan is personalized and data-driven.

Individualized Treatment Approach

Dr. Houman’s philosophy is to optimize patients medically and holistically before pursuing surgery. His treatments may include:

• Hormonal optimization with Clomid, enclomiphene, or hCG to boost natural sperm production without compromising fertility

• Lifestyle and nutritional guidance, including tailored diet, exercise, and toxin avoidance strategies to enhance sperm health

• Adjunctive therapies for associated sexual health issues such as erectile dysfunction or ejaculatory dysfunction, using shockwave therapy, PRP (P-Shot), medications, and counseling
  This comprehensive, whole-patient approach reflects Dr. Houman’s belief that fertility is not an isolated condition but part of a man’s overall sexual health and wellness.

Advanced Microsurgical Fertility Treatments

When surgical intervention is necessary, Dr. Houman applies cutting-edge microsurgical techniques to maximize outcomes while minimizing risks. These include:

• Microsurgical varicocelectomy, the gold standard for treating varicoceles that impair sperm quality

• Microsurgical vasectomy reversal for men who wish to restore fertility after vasectomy

• Microsurgical sperm retrieval techniques such as micro-TESE and PESA for men with azoospermia

• Redo surgeries for patients who have had unsuccessful prior procedures at other centers
  His precision-based surgical methods are designed to preserve testicular function, protect delicate structures, and achieve superior fertility outcomes.

Complex Fertility Cases

Dr. Houman is widely recognized for his ability to manage some of the most complex infertility scenarios, including:

• Azoospermia (no sperm in the ejaculate)

• Fertility preservation after chemotherapy or radiation therapy

• Klinefelter’s syndrome and other genetic causes of infertility

• Revision surgeries after failed procedures at other centers
  By integrating advanced surgical techniques with medical management and patient-focused care, he provides hope to men who have been told by others that nothing more can be done.

Compassionate and Personalized Care

Beyond his technical expertise, Dr. Houman is known for his warm, compassionate bedside manner. He takes the time to listen, understand each patient’s concerns, and provide not only medical treatment but also emotional support. His patients consistently remark on the dignity and respect he provides, helping them feel confident throughout the process of fertility treatment.

Research and Publications

Dr. Houman actively contributes to the advancement of urology and male infertility. He has published in peer-reviewed journals on topics ranging from reproductive surgery to wearable technology in health. His research underscores his commitment to pushing the boundaries of male fertility treatments and making new options available to patients worldwide.
