Percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration in psychogenic anejaculation during IVF. A report of two cases.

BACKGROUND

Psychogenic anejaculation on the day of oocyte retrieval is uncommon in in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs. Before the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), either the cycle had to be canceled or a sperm donor recruited.

CASES

Two couples were enrolled for IVF. On the day of oocyte retrieval, the male partners developed psychogenic anejaculation.

CONCLUSION

In cases of psychogenic anejaculation during IVF, percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration can be utilized to obtain sperm for ICSI.
