Justin Houman: 3 Things to Look for in a Male Fertility Specialist
Justin Houman, Men’s Health Urologist at Tower Urology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, shared on LinkedIn:
“A note for primary care, OB/GYN, and REI colleagues on male-factor referrals.
By the time couples reach my office, they have usually done extensive research and tried a few things, and there is real frustration attached.
Three points that make the referral productive:
- The complete evaluation: semen analysis, hormone evaluation, and a physical exam to rule out varicocele. DNA fragmentation index testing has a role in selected situations.
- Sub-specialty training matters. A reproductive urologist sees male fertility all day, and the exam findings (varicocele in particular) are easy to miss outside the field.
- Treatment is couple-specific. Male and female age, reproductive potential on both sides, and the couple’s goals shape whether we optimize medically, correct surgically, or coordinate with REI.
Happy to see these patients from across the US, including by telemedicine.”
