What is Male Infertility?

What are My Treatment Options?

Depending on your circumstances, you may be able to achieve pregnancy through other routes like in vitro fertilization and sperm retrieval. Your urologist can help you and your partner explore your best options in coordination with the rest of your care team to help you achieve your family goals.
