Suggest Remedy For Absence Of Sperms In Semen Analysis Result
Dear Dr. Malpani,
My husband and I have been dealing with infertility for about a year and a half now. (Male Factor). We are currently 25. My husband had fibro sarcoma in his left thigh when he was 7 he underwent both chemo and radiation. He's had 2 semen analysis both came back with no sperm found. His LH levels were 10.5, FSH came back 22.8 and testosterone is at 539. With these results do you think we should bother with a testicular biopsy? I'm just curious as to what our chances of sperm retrieval might be. We have only spoken with a urologist and not sure if we want to fork out the money towards an infertility specialist if we don't really stand a chance. Thank you for your time! Melissa Cook

Hello, testicular biopsy is still worth a try because testosterone levels are good and moreover it is worth a fraction of money in case there is a hope for having a child with one's own genetic material
