It’s difficult to know when it’s time to ask for help. Some indicators include:
Painful ejaculation
Markedly reduced libido (sexual desire) and motivation along with sexual issues
Lumps, swelling, or hard areas in the penis or testicles
Infertility or reduced sperm count
Premature ejaculation that causes distress or relationship problems
Loss of morning or spontaneous erections (can signal vascular or hormonal issues)
Blood in semen (hematospermia)
Sudden onset of erectile dysfunction, especially if it was previously normal
Curvature of the penis during erection, especially if painful (possible Peyronie’s disease)
Conditions and Treatments
Vasectomy
As a safe and effective form of birth control, a vasectomy can change your life and your partner’s life for the better. Our skilled physicians utilize the latest techniques to ensure your comfort and long-term satisfaction with the procedure. The procedure is minimally invasive, typically performed under local anesthesia, and has a quick recovery time, allowing most men to return to normal activities within a few days.
Vasectomy Reversal
If you’ve had a change of heart about fatherhood, our team is here to provide compassionate and expert care for vasectomy reversal. Together, we’ll explore your options to help you start the family you desire.
Peyronie’s Disease
Peyronie’s Disease can be caused by scar tissue in the penis, causing curved, painful erections. It can affect sexual performance and can be distressing. Our knowledgeable team is here to provide you with discreet care and options to restore intimacy in your relationships.
Male Infertility
Many men may not realize that fertility issues can arise from male factors. In fact, 30% of couples the cause for infertility is due to a male factor and in an additional 20% of cases, infertility is secondary to both male and female issues. Causes of male factor infertility can include low sperm count, poor sperm motility, blockages, or hormonal imbalances.
Treatment options vary from medications and lifestyle changes to surgery such as microsurgical varicocele repair, or advanced assisted reproductive techniques like testicular sperm extraction to be used with IVF. Our fellowship-trained experts are dedicated to finding personalized solutions that empower you on your journey to parenthood.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know that I’m ready for a vasectomy?
If you’re confident that you and your partner don’t want to conceive children or more children and ready to accept permanent contraception, a vasectomy is a good choice for you.
Does a vasectomy hurt?
Most men report very little pain or discomfort during the procedure.
How long do I need to wait to have sex again after a vasectomy?
You’ll probably need to wait about 10 days after the procedure before having sex and you’ll need to use other birth control methods for at least three months after the procedure.
What is Peyronie’s disease, in plain English?
It’s when scar tissue builds up inside the penis, causing it to curve or bend during erections.
Is Peyronie’s disease painful?
It can be, especially early on. Some men feel pain with erections, while others mostly notice the curve.
Did I do something to cause this?
Usually no. It can happen after minor injury you don’t even remember, and some men are just more prone to scar tissue.
Can Peyronie’s be treated?
Yes. Depending on severity, treatments range from medications and injections to traction therapy or surgery.
How common is male infertility?
More common than most people realize. About half of infertility cases involve a male factor.
What causes infertility in men?
Hormone issues, low sperm count, poor sperm movement, prior infections, varicoceles, or lifestyle factors like stress and smoking.
Does infertility mean I can’t have kids?
Not at all. Many men with fertility issues are still able to conceive with the right treatment or support.
How is male infertility evaluated?
Usually with a semen analysis, bloodwork, and a conversation about your health and history.
