Male infertility is as common a condition as female infertility. Consequently, our clinic has a dedicated andrology laboratory. State-of-the-art equipment helps us make a correct and quick diagnosis, and decide together with patients the steps to follow.
Andrology – male infertility
Infertility is a complex issue that often involves both members of the couple. Andrology is the branch of medicine that studies the male reproductive system. Andrologists deal with the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of diseases of the male sexual organs. A number of pathologies and male sexual problems can be treated by the andrologist: infertility, erectile dysfunction, prostate problems, onco-andrological pathologies, sexually transmitted diseases. The diagnosis of male infertility can be made after a series of investigations. The causes can be multiple and multifactorial: infections, varicocele, chromosomal defects, environmental factors, endocrine disorders, genetic disorders, etc. The andrologist shall perform a comprehensive anamnesis, guide the patient and recommend all necessary medical tests. Our clinic offers a wide range of investigations, such as: clinical examination, transrectal prostate ultrasound, testicular ultrasound, semen analysis, hormonal tests.
Urology – minimally invasive procedures
Urology is the specialty that brings together medical approach and surgical treatment to correct congenital anomalies. The urologist is the one who performs surgery to treat male infertility. One of the most revolutionary investigations is the testicular biopsy, MicroTESE. During this revolutionary procedure, the urologist surgeon uses microsurgical instruments and a surgical microscope that magnifies 20 times or more, to carefully search inside the testicle for areas containing sperm. The procedure is minimally invasive, with multiple advantages for men experiencing total sperm absence. It allows semen to be collected directly from the testicular tubules. These structures are similar to “ducts” inside the testicles, which produce sperm. In the absence of such a procedure, the couple experiencing this type of infertility would normally resort to insemination or fertilization with donated semen. Our specialist doctors, assisted by state-of-the-art medical equipment, help couples fulfill their dream. Male infertility is no longer an obstacle to in vitro fertilization or to intrauterine insemination procedures.
