Male Fertility Doctor Serving Burbank

If your path to fatherhood in Burbank has involved setbacks, uncertainty, or disappointing results, working with a dedicated male infertility specialist can help you move forward with a clear plan. The Turek Clinic—led by renowned urologist and expert microsurgeon Dr. Paul Turek—has helped many men address complex fertility problems using advanced diagnostics, specialized procedures, and highly personalized care.

Male Fertility Issues

Common male fertility concerns for Burbank-area patients include:

• Azoospermia (no sperm in the ejaculate): A primary cause of male-factor infertility and often the reason couples are referred for advanced evaluation.
• Oligospermia (low sperm count): Fewer viable sperm reduces the likelihood of natural conception and may indicate an underlying condition that can be addressed.
• Cryptozoospermia: Some men appear azoospermic on initial testing, but repeat or specialized testing can identify very small numbers of sperm that may still be used for fertilization.
• Varicocele: Enlarged scrotal veins (similar to varicose veins) that can impair sperm quality and quantity. The original page notes that roughly one-third of Dr. Turek’s fertility patients have varicoceles, often developing during adolescence.

Expert Fertility Solutions at The Turek Clinic

Dr. Turek is recognized as a leader in male infertility care, including his innovative Sperm Mapping technique. This guided approach helps identify viable sperm within the testicles and can offer a less invasive alternative to non-guided sperm retrieval methods. The original page also states that treatment success rates under Dr. Turek’s care exceed those of many other fertility centers, attributing this to specialized expertise and individualized treatment planning.

Fertility Treatments Available at The Turek Clinic

Patients from Burbank have access to a comprehensive set of diagnostic and treatment options, including:

• Semen Analysis: Evaluates semen and establishes sperm count to help determine whether natural conception is feasible or whether additional interventions are appropriate.
• Sperm Mapping: A guided technique to identify “hidden” viable sperm within the testicles for safe extraction and use in assisted reproductive technologies such as IVF or ICSI.
• Microsurgical Reconstruction: Procedures designed to remove or bypass obstructions so sperm can return to the ejaculate and improve the chances of natural conception.
• Sperm Retrieval: The original page states that, when guided by sperm mapping, Dr. Turek’s sperm retrieval succeeds 99% of the time, providing sperm for IVF, ICSI, and IUI while reducing complications and improving efficiency.
• Testicular Biopsy: Removal and analysis of a small sample of testicular tissue to clarify the cause of infertility and guide next-step options.
• Varicocele Repair: Treatment can improve testicular function and testosterone levels, potentially increasing sperm production and reducing discomfort.
• Ejaculatory Duct Resection (TURED): Opens blocked ejaculatory ducts to increase sperm release; the page notes it can enable fatherhood without IVF for approximately 30% of men.
• Reverse Vasectomy: Reconnects the vas deferens to allow sperm to return to the ejaculate; the page also notes Dr. Turek redoes reversals that were unsuccessful elsewhere.

Male Sexual Health Services

Because fertility and sexual health are often closely related, The Turek Clinic also evaluates and treats:

• Erectile and Ejaculatory Disorders: Conditions that can hinder conception and intimacy, addressed through targeted evaluation and treatment.
• Loss of Testicle: Testicular implant options to help restore confidence and body image.
• Peyronie’s Disease: Treatment for painful erections and/or penile curvature that can make intercourse difficult.
• Low Testosterone: Hormone replacement therapy options to help address low energy, mood changes, and reduced libido.

Painless Nitrous-Oxide Vasectomy

A vasectomy prevents sperm from entering the ejaculate by cutting or sealing the vas deferens, resulting in sterility. Dr. Turek offers a refined no-scalpel technique and, as described on the page, pairs it with nitrous oxide to improve comfort and reduce anxiety for many patients.
