Multiple studies have reported that men with high percentages of their sperm with DNA fragmentation have a higher risk of contributing to recurrent miscarriages. Dr. Kavoussi states, “The good news is now that we […]
Dr. Parviz Kavoussi was recently interviewed live on NBC’s KXAN network regarding a recently published study evaluating outcomes of neonates and mothers when the male partner was considered to be in an advanced paternal age range at the time of conception. This study looked at a birth registry which included over 40 million documented […]
Until
several years ago, the prevailing thought was that only one “wave” of follicles
is available for growth per monthly menstrual cycle; therefore, controlled
ovarian stimulation (COS) for fertility preservation would require waiting for
a woman’s period to start prior to her starting fertility medications for COS
leading up to oocyte retrieval for fertility preservation prior to cancer
treatments such […]

This is known as Klinefelter Syndrome and is the most common genetic variation which impacts a man’s fertility. Men with pure Klinefelter Syndrome are nearly universally azoospermic with […]
Over 13 million men are diagnosed with hypogonadism (low testosterone) in the United States annually. A previously published study, the Hypogonadism in Men trial, revealed that 39% of men are hypogonadal by the age of 45 and it is not uncommon to see men in much younger ages with hypogonadism these days. This means […]
To scratch or not to scratch: that is the question. Based on recent data, the current recommendation regarding endometrial scratching is not to scratch.
Endometrial scratching involves the use of an endometrial biopsy sampler such as a pipelle, which is a straw-like apparatus that is thought to increase the rate of embryo implantation by remodeling […]
Having low testosterone (low T) levels is usually considered a problem in older men. In fact, men over the age of 40 begin experiencing a 3 percent reduction in testosterone levels. However, younger men can also have lower testosterone levels, which can have a big impact on male fertility.
Causes of Low T Levels in […]
Although the following are highlights of the process that are hopefully helpful in terms of providing a general overview, consultation with a Reproductive Endocrinologist (RE) provides more detailed information regarding the oocyte cryopreservation (egg freezing) process. Female age and ovarian reserve testing are the two most important predictors of a successful egg freezing cycle. […]
