Artificial Insemination

Artificial insemination involves the placement of relatively large numbers of healthy sperm either at the entrance of the cervix or into the partner’s uterus, bypassing the cervix, to have direct access to the fallopian tubes.

In vitro Fertilization

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is used for the treatment of male infertility. We offer other advanced techniques to prepare sperm in vitro, so that eggs are exposed to an optimal concentration of high quality, motile sperm.

Microsurgical Fertilization

Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) is used to facilitate sperm penetration by injection of a single sperm into the oocyte. Fertilization then takes place under the microscope.

Surgery

Surgical therapy in male infertility is designed to overcome anatomical barriers that impede sperm production and maturation or ejaculation.
