Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the outcome of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) with sperm obtained by electroejaculation in men with psychogenic anejaculation. Design: Retrospective clinical study. Setting: In Vitro Fertilization Unit, Bikur Cholim Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. Patient(s): Seven men with psychogenic anejaculation who underwent 16 sessions of electroejaculation in combination with ICSI. Intervention(s): Electroejaculation, ICSI. Main Outcome Measure(s): Semen analysis, ICSI, fertilization rates. Result(s): All patients had poor sperm motility. One hundred forty-seven oocytes were injected, with a fertilization rate of 27% (39/142). One ongoing pregnancy was achieved. Conclusion(s): Sperm obtained by electroejaculation have low motility and reduced fertilization potential. Nevertheless, ICSI should be offered to improve the possibility of successful pregnancy.
