Episode 3 - Transforming Fertility (Why Men Matter!) - Dr. Janet Choi, Progyny

Talk with Turek

Why Men Matter in the Reproductive Journey!

We’re excited to bring you another compelling episode of our podcast “Talk With Turek”, where we delve deep into the critical topics of men’s health and fertility. This week, join Reproductive Urologist, Master Micro-Surgeon, and Men's Fertility Expert Dr. Paul Turek, Co-Host and Producer Rob Clyde, and Dr. Janet Choi, Reproductive Endocrinologist and Chief Medical Officer of Progyny, as they tackle these important issues. Expect Dr. Turek and Rob’s trademark witty and often hilarious banter, musing on life and the nuances of male fertility and sexual health.

In this important episode, our expert trio discusses Progyny’s innovative approach to integrating men into their employee benefits program, highlighting how this inclusion enhances natural pregnancy rates and assisted reproductive outcomes. They emphasize the importance of prioritizing male partners in fertility assessments, revealing both economic advantages and increased success rates.

The significance of addressing male factor fertility cannot be overstated, especially in states where infertility benefits are often overlooked. Progyny is leading a paradigm shift by ensuring both partners receive the necessary support.

Dr. Turek and Dr. Choi clarify that while improving the quality of women’s eggs is a challenge, sperm quality can be modified, presenting a unique opportunity for better outcomes. They introduce Dr. Turek's pioneering FNA/Sperm Mapping technique—akin to a GPS for the testicles—which facilitates guided sperm retrieval. This innovative method preserves testosterone levels and minimizes unnecessary invasive procedures, achieving a 99% retrieval success rate at the Turek Clinic for men with a positive map.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the future of men’s health and fertility, packed with groundbreaking insights and actionable advice. We encourage you to talk to your employer about employee benefits for fertility.
