Pregnancy after electroejaculation in combination with intracytoplasmic sperm injection in a patient with idiopathic anejaculation.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the possibility of achieving a pregnancy in the wife of a patient suffering from idiopathic anejaculation who failed to respond to therapeutical modalities such as psychotherapy, sex therapy, and vibrostimulation.


METHODS
Case report.


METHODS
The IVF program at the Leuven University Fertility Centre.


METHODS
A patient suffering from idiopathic anejaculation.


METHODS
Intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI) in combination with electroejaculation.


METHODS
Fertility rate, cleavage rate, clinical pregnancy.


RESULTS
Two IVF procedures were performed of which the second resulted in an ongoing pregnancy and the delivery of a healthy boy.


CONCLUSIONS
Electroejaculation may offer fertility chances in a patient suffering from idiopathic anejaculation resistant to conventional treatment modalities. When sperm quality shows very low motility, ICSI should be offered to improve pregnancy chances.
