There are many hypotheses about why this is happening. One of those is environmental exposures, especially those linked to advancements in industrialization and technology. Two of the […]
Dr. Parviz Kavoussi co-authors study on varicocele repair improving testosterone levels
Abnormal dilation of veins around the testicles, called varicoceles are the most common cause of male infertility, impacting 40% of men presenting for fertility evaluations. Varicoceles damage testicular cell function which has been well established to adversely impact many men’s fertility potential and a minor surgical repair can improve fertility parameters. It has been demonstrated that […]
Dr. Parviz Kavoussi authors paper on the history of surgical techniques for men with sperm counts of zero.
Men with sperm counts of zero in the semen wanting to father children with their own sperm commonly require surgical interventions to assist in their journey to fatherhood.

Dr. Parviz Kavoussi authors review on varicoceles in men with sperm count of zero.
Approximately 15% of men in the general population have varicoceles, abnormally dilated veins around the testicle, and varicoceles are diagnosed in 40% of men presenting for fertility evaluations. One percent of men in the general population are azoospermic, which means they have a sperm count of zero, and 15% of men presenting for fertility evaluations […]
Dr. Parviz Kavoussi contributes chapter on sperm banking to semen analysis textbook
Sperm cryopreservation, or freezing, is an important measure for men desiring fertility preservation for the future. Cryopreservation is an excellent option for sperm banking prior to initiation of cancer treatments for men requiring chemotherapy or radiation therapy for their cancer treatments which can have very harsh and sometimes irreversible impacts on sperm production, planning for […]
Dr. Parviz Kavoussi publishes review on predictors of successful sperm retrieval in men undergoing microTESE.
Nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA), defined as having no sperm in the semen due to a testicular cellular failure at producing sperm, is the most challenging and complex clinical scenario for infertile men. Besides rare hormonal circumstances causing the sperm count to be zero that can be treated with medication, surgical sperm retrieval is typically necessary, and […]
