Sperm Breakthrough

Patients with male infertility can often present with sperm in the ejaculate that doesn’t move. Sperm must move to find and fertilize eggs during natural conception. These sperm may be fine in every other way, but in this situation, male infertility is the rule. In this interview with CNN, Dr. Turek describes his published invention that was designed to harmlessly “poke” a nonmoving sperm with a weak sugar solution to learn whether the sperm is alive or not. This invention is based on the concept of osmosis in all living cells. If determined to be alive with this technique, these sperm can be used with assisted reproduction to conceive and a couple who bore a child with this technique is highlighted by CNN.

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 fertility 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. Also, check out our library for extensive information on vasectomies, vasectomy reversals, variocele repair and other minimally invasive procedures.
