Andrology and Male Fertility Treatment

Male fertility treatment can be just as important as evaluating the female side of the equation when prospective parents are trying to have a baby. Ovation Fertility™ Newport Beach provides comprehensive andrology services to achieve male fertility success for patients and fertility centers. Andrology covers aspects of sperm preparation for procedures such as intrauterine insemination, or IUI; intracytoplasmic sperm injection, or ICSI; and in vitro fertilization, or IVF.

One of the pioneer IVF labs in the country, Ovation Fertility Newport Beach performs services for patients in Southern California and beyond, including international couples who seek treatment not offered in their own countries.

Andrology for Male Fertility Evaluation

A couple’s inability to get pregnant sometimes is viewed as the woman’s problem, when in fact, male fertility factors can account for nearly half of failed attempts.

Ovation Fertility Newport Beach can help conquer the challenges of male fertility issues with:

• Semen analysis – After seminal fluid is collected from the male ejaculate, the lab’s andrology team separates the sperm – which is actually only a small percentage of the fluid – and evaluates the actual number and health of sperm cells. The sperm must be healthy and motile enough to reach the egg to fertilize it.
• Sperm washing and preparation – Ovation Fertility Newport Beach performs sperm washing and preparation for IUI, ICSI and IVF as warranted. At the time the sperm is needed for fertilization, either inside or outside the female partner’s body, the IVF lab team ensures sperm is properly identified and mixed with the correct fluid solutions for successful insemination.
• Testing for sperm antibodies – Sometimes antibodies can interfere with male fertility and actually attack sperm cells. Our lab team can recommend medication and minimally invasive treatment in those instances.

Andrology and Male Fertility Preservation

Time is of the essence for sperm to be used in fertility treatments. But if the male partner is unable to produce sperm exactly when it is needed, he can provide a sample at an alternate time. Ovation Fertility Newport Beach evaluates and prepares sperm for freezing and storage using the most advanced technology. Then, when the couple is ready to become pregnant, the lab team can expertly thaw the sperm and make it available for the fertilization process.

Ovation Fertility Newport Beach also can manage the process of using donor sperm and/or donor eggs in third party reproduction.
