Infertility in Men: The Forgotten Male
Men may feel like the forgotten one in the process of fertility treatment, and they are almost always the last one to be considered when we think about the strain and emotional stress that couples go through on the “fertility train”.
Dr. Lee Caperton, our reproductive endocrinologist and fertility specialist, personally understands what men encounter when faced with fertility issues. “I remember sitting across from my wife, Dr. Kelly, when we were having trouble getting pregnant with our last child and wondering, ‘What has happened to me that we’re not conceiving? Is it my lifestyle, too much stress, too little sleep, too few vacations? Something in the water, something in the air, something in my diet or lifestyle ? Should I work out more, work out less, stop drinking out of plastic bottles, stay out of the hot tub, not ride the bicycle with my son???’”
At the Caperton Fertility Institute, we truly understand what couples experience when the process of getting pregnant just isn’t happening as you hope. In addition to our co-founders’ personal experience, many of our staff have also experienced issues in fertility. We believe that gives our patients a greater degree of compassion in our clinic; we understand the anxiety and struggle, as well as how difficult it is for you to discuss such intimate details with us. We will do our very best to help you feel comfortable, to protect your privacy, and to answer all your questions (in language that helps you understand, whether you prefer the scientific explanation or layman’s terms).
Whatever the cause, whether you’ve had a previous vasectomy and are interested in vasectomy reversal or its options, testicular sperm extraction (TESE), microsurgical epididymal sperm aspiration (MESA), or intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), we will help you explore the best solution for male factor infertility.
Call our Albuquerque or El Paso fertility clinic to schedule an appointment or complete the contact form. We look forward to helping on your journey to parenthood.
