Fertility with early reduction of ovarian reserve: the last straw that breaks the Camel’s back
AbstractDiminished fertility and poor ovarian response pose a conundrum to the
experts in the field of reproductive medicine. There is limited knowledge about
the risk factors of diminished ovarian reserve other than the iatrogenic ones.

Selective use of percutaneous testis biopsy to optimize IVF-ICSI outcomes: a case series
Tập 2 Số 1
Abstract Background Sperm quality may degrade during transit through the male
reproductive tract in some individuals. In this setting surgically retrieved
testicular sperm may outperform ejaculated samples for use with in vitro
fertilization (IVF) and intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF-ICSI). We sought
to describe one center’s experience with the use of fresh testicular sperm after
prior failed...
