Providing a post-vasectomy semen analysis cup at the time of vasectomy rather than post-operatively improves compliance.

Background: Post-vasectomy semen analysis (PVSA) completion rates after vasectomy are poor, and minimizing the need for an additional in-person visit may improve compliance. We hypothesized that providing PVSA specimen cup at time of vasectomy instead of at a postoperative appointment might be associated with higher PVSA completion rates.

Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study with historical control using medical records of all patients seen by a single provider for vasectomy consultation between October 2016 and June 2022.

No Detectable Association Between Virtual Setting for Vasectomy Consultation and Vasectomy Completion Rate.

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic has fueled widespread incorporation of telehealth into urology practices. Vasectomy consultation via telehealth is convenient and improves access to care for male contraception. However, it does not allow for physical examination, inherently leading to possible day-of-procedure cancellations due to unforeseen anatomic concerns.

Sociodemographic differences in utilization of fertility services among reproductive age women diagnosed with cancer in the USA.

Purpose: To determine whether sociodemographic differences exist among female patients accessing fertility services post-cancer diagnosis in a representative sample of the United States population.

Methods: All women ages 15-45 with a history of cancer who responded to the National Survey for Family Growth (NSFG) from 2011 to 2017 were included. The population was then stratified into 2 groups, defined as those who did and did not seek infertility services.
