| Abstract: | A fertility programme for spinal cord injured men has been in progress for nearly 5 years. Thirty eight men have been treated in this programme. Electroejaculation, vibration ejaculation and subcutaneous physostigmine have all been used successfully to obtain semen. Semen has been obtained from 21 of 24 men with a lesion at T8 or above, and from 4 of 11 men with lesions below T10. There have been 8 pregnancies from 6 couples. |
