The case of the month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic. He was just an ordinary guy minding his own business. Until he tried to have kids and found out that he was sterile. No sperm. Not a speck. When I asked him what struck him first when he was told that he was […]
Are we approaching the Armageddon of infertility in America? It might seem that way looking at our long term decline in birth rates. To replace ourselves from generation to generation, we need each woman to have 2.1 births during her life. In the 1970s, that rate was at an all-time low of 1.74; in the […]
He looked great. Fit as a fiddle and sporting a head full of salt and pepper hair. “Doc, can I still have kids? Been single all my life but just met the woman of my dreams. Be honest, with me Doc, I’m 75 years old!” Time Waits For No One What changes occur in the […]

To those of us burdened (or blessed) with Y-chromosomes, it is important for puberty, growth, reproductive and sexual function, mood, intellect (could you tell?) and strong muscles and bones. But is it the […]
Autism is on the rise. And so are test tube babies. Are they linked? Well, a very well done study published recently says yes. This connection may have something to do with sperm. Facts About Autism The term “autism” was first used in 1943 to describe children who lacked interest in other people but showed an unusual interest in […]
As I was preparing a recent lecture on Artificial Sperm from Stem Cells for the annual meeting of British urologists, a thought struck me. By no means in pornographic way, the biology of male reproduction has fascinated me for over 20 years. This is different from the usual, casual interest that many men have with their […]
