Male infertility affects 10% of reproductive-aged couples worldwide and is treatable in many cases. In addition to well-established etiologies, genetic causes of male infertility are now more commonly diagnosed, as our knowledge of genomic medicine advances. Using principles of evidence-based medicine, this chapter outlines diagnostic and treatment algorithms that guide clinical management.

The Turek Clinic, located in the Northern California San Francisco Bay Area, is a unique men's health clinic dedicated to improving men's reproductive health and male infertility issues. Dr. Paul Turek, our director, is an internationally recognized urologist and dedicated microsurgeon who uses the latest techniques for vasectomy and vasectomy reversal. These include the "no scalpel" vasectomy reversal as well as a form of vasectomy reversal known as invagination epididymovasostomy. Vasectomy and vasectomy reversal costs are not insignificant, so it is important to have a clinic, like ours, which is known to have the highest vasectomy reversal success rates with the fewest complications. Our male fertility specialists can also discuss with you vasectomy and vasectomy reversal alternatives that make sense for you. Contact us now at 415-392-3200 for a consultation.
