Endless
possibilities.......
Rapid advancement in Medical technology has brought us to new
horizons in the treatment of Male Infertility and Male Sexual Dysfunction.
Couples experiencing years of heart-wrenching infertility are having babies.
Men experiencing difficulty with organic impotence are leading active, sexually
fulfilling lives. Myriads of new techniques--both medical and surgical--are
opening worlds of recovery to otherwise frustrating and emotionally
debilitating conditions.
....for success
With a diagnosis of azoospermia (no sperm in the ejaculate) he was
told he was sterile and unable to father a biological child. However, on
examination we found that his vas deferens (the tubes that carry the sperm from
the testicles ) were absent yet his testis produced sperm. By combining the
microsurgical procedure of epididymal sperm retrieval with in-vitro
fertilization, this couple now has a beautiful 'miracle' baby.
He was young, athletic, happily married and the victim of a devastating car
accident that left him paralyzed from waist down. He and his wife wanted to
start a family however he was unable to produce a specimen due to neurologic
damage. We were able to treat his ejaculatory dysfunction using a simple,
non-surgical technique of low voltage stimulation of his seminal vesicles. He
produced a semen specimen which was used for artificial insemination.
Suffering fifteen years with progressively degenerative Multiple Sclerosis, our
patient was no longer able to have sexual relations. By treating him with
pharmacologic injection therapy he and his wife are enjoying the resumption of
their previously active sex life together. This therapy, and other medical and
surgical options have brought a 98% success rate with conditions such as
diabetes, vascular disease, psychogenic dysfunction and the natural decrease in
sexual function that accompanies increased age.
With the right
evaluation...
The best first step toward "cure" is diagnosis. Using the
most current and technologically advanced evaluative tools available to date,
we first thoroughly evaluate to determine the cause and extent of the patient's
disorder.
Our "State-of-the-Art"
office has all the latest diagnostic equipment for the most sophisticated and
complete evaluation possible.
The Men's Fertility Laboratory:
our well respected New York State licensed referral laboratory is on premises
and provides comprehensive services including:
complete semen analysis:
concentration, count, motility, morphology (WHO and "strict
criteria")
biochemical studies
sperm antibody studies
post ejaculate urine evaluation
semen processing for IUI
hormonal evaluation
New York Cryo our New York State licensed sperm bank is also on-site. We provide both short and long term storage of semen specimens (and other sources of male gametes) from patients wanting to store specimens for use with a sexually intimate partner.
We also have available:
Color Duplex Ultrasound for
evaluation of penile blood flow (erectile dysfunction) as well as scrotal blood
flow (subfertility).
Nocturnal Penile Tumescence testing
(NPT) for differentiation between psychogenic and organic erectile dysfunction)
Cavernosometry/Cavernosography for
sophisticated evaluation of penile vascular dynamics (erectile dysfunction)
Medical and Surgical options for
treatment of sexual dysfunction and infertility
No-Scalpel Vasectomy Center
for a safe, effective and minimally invasive method of permanent birth control
