International Azoospermia Center
The Stanford International Azoospermia Center
Other doctors may have told you that fathering a child is impossible—that you have no measurable sperm and are not a candidate for fertility treatment. But we do not rest so easily, and do not believe you need to, either.
The Stanford International Azoospermia Center is a world leader in diagnosing and treating azoospermia, and we invite you to visit. Not every man can become a biological father. But we have successfully treated plenty of cases where patients were previously told they did not have a chance—taking the impossible and making it possible.
Care and Treatment of Azoospermia
Our Team Approach
We take a team approach at our Stanford International Azoospermia Center, bringing together a group of world-renowned experts. That ensures you get the possible care, with our specialists offering the latest approaches to diagnosis, treatment and promising research. We also partner with other Stanford centers and clinics to help you and your partner conceive.
Our program is led by a urologist with fellowship training in male infertility and microsurgery. Having a dedicated center allows us to include other specialists as well, for a multidisciplinary approach. Some of our colleagues treat female infertility—you and your partner may want a second opinion, or you may strongly suspect you have azoospermia but want to simultaneously rule out other causes as a couple. We also provide conception help.
Our team includes:
- Urologists
- Radiologists
- Female fertility, in vitro fertilization (IVF) and conception specialists. (Learn more about our partner, the Stanford Fertility and Reproductive Medicine Center.)
- Genetic specialists and counselors
