Percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration in psychogenic anejaculation during IVF. A report of two cases.
BACKGROUND
Psychogenic anejaculation on the day of oocyte retrieval is uncommon in in vitro fertilization (IVF) programs. Before the use of intracytoplasmic sperm injection (ICSI), either the cycle had to be canceled or a sperm donor recruited.


METHODS
Two couples were enrolled for IVF. On the day of oocyte retrieval, the male partners developed psychogenic anejaculation.


CONCLUSIONS
In cases of psychogenic anejaculation during IVF, percutaneous epididymal sperm aspiration can be utilized to obtain sperm for ICSI.
