Male-factor infertility — Houston, TX

Male-factor issues contribute to roughly a third to half of infertility cases, and a semen analysis is among the simplest, cheapest tests in the entire workup — it should happen early, not after months of treating one partner.

Treatment ranges from IUI for mild cases to IVF with ICSI (injecting a single sperm into each egg) for severe ones, and surgical sperm retrieval when needed. A program that includes a reproductive urologist — not just ICSI by default — is a good sign.

What to ask at a consult

• Was the semen analysis repeated before diagnosis? Results vary between samples.
• Do you have or refer to a reproductive urologist for evaluation before ICSI?
• When is ICSI actually indicated for us, and what does it add to the cost?
