Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the outcome of repeated electroejaculation for obtaining semen from adolescents and young men before initiation of anticancer therapies. DESIGN: Retrospective clinical study. SETTING: Bikur Cholim Hospital, Jerusalem, Israel. PATIENT(S): Six young male patients (average age, 18+/-3 years) with diagnosed cancer who underwent 12 procedures of electroejaculation before chemotherapy. INTERVENTION(S): Transrectal electroejaculation. Semen was cryopreserved in small aliquots. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Semen analysis. RESULT(S): In all patients, semen was obtained by electroejaculation. Sperm count and motility were relatively low; mean values were 16 x 10(6) (range, 0--45 x 10(6)) and 14% (range, 0--53%) respectively. CONCLUSION(S): If necessary, electroejaculation can be performed in adolescents, and sperm may be obtained by repeated treatments over a short period.
