Male Fertility and Sexuality
Fertility and sexuality are sensitive areas in which increasing number of patients are seeking medical intervention and treatment for a wide variety of conditions.  No longer do patients have to suffer while their needs in these areas go unmet.  Rather, the medical community has found a large number of solutions for many of these challenges, including medical and surgical therapies.

Our Goal




The Division of Reproductive Medicine, Surgery and Sexuality at Chesapeake Urology Associates is led by Dr. Karen E. Boyle, Director, in conjunction with Associate Directors, Dr. Brad D. Lerner and Dr. David M. Fenig.  They are joined by many of our other dedicated physicians in our practice who are specialists and treat patients in the areas of male sexual health.  The focus of this division is on male infertility, male sexual dysfunction and also female sexual dysfunction.  Our physicians' primary goal is to deliver outstanding and advanced patient care in a sympathetic environment drawing upon cutting-edge techniques based on years of experience and expertise.

Fertility and Infertility
Individuals and couples who are dealing with male reproductive problems require the compassionate care of specially trained physicians with expertise in these conditions, and who are dedicated to solving the unique problems of the reproductive-aged man.

Problems with infertility are extremely common, although few men receive proper evaluation and treatment, with male factor often going unrecognized and untreated. 

Approximately 15% of all couples are infertile.  Up to fifty percent of these infertile couples will have a male factor component and 30% of couples will not be able to conceive solely because of a male factor.

Every man who is having problems conceiving with his partner requires an evaluation which will include a screening semen analysis and possibly some bloodwork, and when there are any abnormalities found on preliminary screening, a complete evaluation with an expert in male reproduction can be performed at Chesapeake Urology.
