Suggest Management And Counseling For Infertility Issues
HI Dr Grief and colleagues My husband (52) has not had a lot of luck with his genitals: one undescended testicle, operated on at age 7 fertility problems - low sperm, elevated FSH (I don t have the test results from 13 years ago to hand) erectile dysfunction which was always a problem but has got worse over the last 10 years slow urine flow, also getting worse He would like to wee, I would like to have sex. He feels like a failure and I think the ED contributed to some behaviours which I couldn t understand and which nearly cost us our marriage. The fertility clinic and various specialist doctors didn t, as far as I know, talk about the emotional side of his physical problems. So where do we start? Yours, A O

he is having some problems but he should not feel depressed. ED can be easily treated by counseling, drugs and treatment of the underlying cause (like we have to look for any cause of ED like heart disease, diabetes etc)... Now low sperm count is not difficult to treat. If there is a single sperm in the semen, he can father a baby by treatment. the treatment can be in the form of IUI (for moderately low sperm count) or ICSI (for severely low count).
