To examine whether men who were childless at the time of vasectomy sought consultation for fertility restoration.
Retrospective chart review was performed to determine if patients without children at the time of vasectomy sought consultation for fertility restoration (defined as vasectomy reversal or sperm retrieval). If the patient had not been seen in our healthcare system within the previous 12 months, he was contacted by phone to determine whether he had sought consultation for fertility restoration.
Of 1656 men, 68 men (4.1%) were childless at the time of vasectomy. Fifteen patients were excluded as they were not followed in our hospital system and were unreachable by phone. Zero patients sought consultation for fertility restoration.
Our single institution study demonstrated that no men who were childless at the time of vasectomy sought consultation for fertility restoration. Given that there are no other FDA approved methods for nonbarrier sterilization for males, men with no children at the time of vasectomy should receive the same AUA guideline-recommended counseling that men with children receive.
研究行输精管绝育术时未育的男性是否寻求生育力恢复的咨询。
回顾性病历审查,以确定行输精管绝育术时无子女的患者是否寻求生育力恢复的咨询(定义为输精管吻合术或精子提取)。如果患者在过去 12 个月内未在我们的医疗保健系统中就诊,则通过电话联系以确定他是否寻求生育力恢复的咨询。
在 1656 名男性中,有 68 名(4.1%)在输精管绝育术时没有子女。由于有 15 名患者未在我们的医院系统中随访且无法通过电话联系,因此将他们排除在外。没有患者寻求生育力恢复的咨询。
我们的单中心研究表明,行输精管绝育术时未育的男性中没有一人寻求生育力恢复的咨询。鉴于目前没有其他经 FDA 批准的男性非屏障绝育方法,因此在行输精管绝育术时无子女的男性应接受与有子女的男性相同的 AUA 指南推荐的咨询。
