The Case of the Month is an actual patient of The Turek Clinic. They sat down in front of me, both a little giddy about the idea of having another child. “I have boys and she has one too. We’d like to have one more, hopefully a girl,” he said. She nodded in agreement. They […]
I’ve always felt that having infertility is similar to having cancer. Not in a life-threatening way but certainly in psychological impact. They can both be brutal. But this is autumn, a time of change. Cloudy, Chance of Rain This first became apparent to me when we showed that infertile men had higher social strain and […]
Ever wonder about the future fertility of children born with birth defects? As a urologist, I’ve treated hundreds of boys with two common birth defects: undescended testicles and hypospadias.

As I was preparing for our international fertility meetings, and being the guy I am who likes to think big and help others, I embraced this year’s theme: “Focus on the Next Generation.” And then my mind began to wander. If I were given stupidly large sums of money, where would I invest in men’s […]

How do you react when you are pinned against the wall by the unknown? Do you freeze? Succumb? Invigorate? I find that I get very calm and very creative. Going where no one’s been before feels atmospheric to me. And it’s where I do some of my best thinking. Fertility from Sterility Two decades ago, […]
It’s the molecule you meet at puberty and that changes everything. It’s the key to your sex life. It keeps your muscles looking good. It’s great for longevity. It’s the Holy Grail of men’s health. It’s testosterone, right? Roids to the Rescue? Take this quiz to learn more about what testosterone really is and isn’t. […]
The following case is an actual patient from The Turek Clinic: After having 3 kids in 5 years, the patient was more than ready to have his tubes tied. So, he did, by a colleague, and he did quite well thank you…for a while. “The procedure seemed to go OK, Doc, but lately my balls […]
