Reproductive Treatments in United States
Male Infertility Treatment
Male infertility treatments aim to improve sperm quality and quantity for couples trying to conceive. Options include hormone therapy, surgery, intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), and assisted reproductive technology (ART). Hormone therapy balances levels of testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone to increase sperm production. Surgical procedures correct physical issues obstructing the passage of sperm, such as varicocele repair. ICSI directly injects a single sperm into an egg, bypassing fertilization challenges. ART combines multiple techniques, including in vitro fertilization (IVF), intrauterine insemination (IUI), and gamete intrafallopian transfer (GIFT).
