Men with fertility issues can now be biological dads

A pioneering new treatment for men with fertility problems has led to its first reported pregnancy in Ireland.

Microsurgical Testicular Sperm Extraction (Micro-TESE) is used to extract viable sperm cells from men suffering from azoospermia, which means they have no or practically no sperm cells in their semen.
