Retinoic acid therapy for Azoospermic Men

It started out as watercooler talk. Maybe it’ll become as famous as the hallway conversation about “Who shot JR?” after the Dallas episode in 1979 or what the best Super Bowl add is each year. Although many consider watercooler moments mere chit chat, the one I had with Dr John Amory 3 years ago has […]

10 Things to Ask Before a Testicular Sperm Retrieval Procedure

For the better part of your teenage years and beyond, you were probably worried to death that you might get someone pregnant. The irony is that now, when you’re all settled down and ready to build a family, you can’t! Your sperm is either nowhere to be found in your semen, or what’s there is […]

Semen Analysis is the Fifth Vital Sign

It was 16 years ago at about this time when I wrote my first blog. Ever.

NEW Male Fertility & Sexual Health Podcast!

For the last 16 years of my professional life, I have penned over 600 blogs about men. I have verbally danced around, mucked around, poked and prodded at, lambasted and celebrated, all things sexual and reproductive that have to do with these unique homo sapiens. I have called them what they are, at once cavepersons, […]

What’s Our Best Choice: IVF or Vasectomy Reversal?

I can’t think of two ways of conceiving a child that could be more different. Now, I’m not referring to sex positions that might be more likely to produce a boy or girl. No, this is not a discussion of missionary vs. doggie, or cowgirl vs. kneeling lotus, or quarter moon vs. full moon at […]

The Green Book – As Good as I Get at Science Writing

What happens when you pour all your heart and soul into something? When cooking, this could mean a fabulous meal that is scrumptious, succulent, savory, heavenly, luscious, mouthwatering, toothsome and divine.

Infertile men more likely to have impaired kidney function, study says

In a recent study published in the journal Scientific Reports, researchers investigated the association between male infertility and renal function. They used a large cohort comprising 11,602 participants (5,494 childless men and 6,108 fathers). They found that childless men were likelier to have a low estimated glomerular filtration rate (< 60 ml/min/1.73m2) and dipstick proteinuria independent of […]
