Summary: Because some men may have difficulties in producing spermatozoa
on demand during treatments with assisted reproductive technologies (ART), the
researchers describe the use of sildenafil citrate (Viagra) for temporary
erectile dysfunction. Four men with temporary erectile dysfunction during IVF
treatments were identified. After treatment with Viagra, 3 of the 4 men were able
to produce a sperm sample with no difficulty. The fourth man felt such relief
because of this potential solution, he succeeded in providing a sample without
having to take the drug. If no contraindications exist, Viagra for temporary
erectile dysfunction during ART seems to be a simple and cost-effective method of
assisting men to produce spermatozoa on demand, and has been shown not to affect
sperm count of healthy donors. This will save the need for surgical procedures in
most cases. The researchers suggest the use of Viagra after failed trials >1 hour
to produce spermatozoa, or planning the use of Viagra in advance for men with
such a history.
