Male Fertility

Evaluation and treatment of male reproductive factors — from semen analysis to surgical sperm retrieval and ICSI.

Male Fertility

For Anyone with low count, motility or morphology, azoospermia, or after a vasectomy.

This may be right if…

  • A semen analysis showed a concern
  • Low sperm count, motility, or morphology
  • No sperm in the ejaculate (azoospermia)
  • You’ve had a vasectomy
  • You want both partners evaluated

What to expect

Step by step, here’s how it tends to go — your team adjusts everything to you.

01

Semen analysis

A straightforward first test in our andrology lab gives a clear picture.

02

Evaluation

If needed, hormone testing and a urology referral identify what’s treatable.

03

Treatment plan

Many factors respond to lifestyle, medication, or lab techniques like ICSI.

04

Sperm retrieval if needed

When sperm isn’t in the ejaculate, surgical retrieval (TESE) can still make biological fatherhood possible.

What’s included

  • Semen analysis & andrology workup
  • Hormone evaluation
  • Urology coordination
  • ICSI in the lab
  • Surgical sperm retrieval (TESE) when needed

Common questions

When should I see a fertility specialist?
A good rule of thumb: if you’re under 35 and have been trying for 12 months, or 35 and over and have been trying for 6 months, it’s time. Come sooner if you have irregular cycles, a known condition, or simply want answers. You never need a referral to ask — an assessment is just information.
How much does treatment cost, and will insurance cover it?
Costs vary by treatment — an IUI cycle is illustratively around $1,000–$1,500, while an IVF base cycle is around $13,000–$16,000 plus medications. Washington and many states mandate some coverage, and our financial counselor verifies your specific benefits for free before you commit. You always get a written estimate first, and we’ll review financing, multi-cycle, and grant options with you.
