Sometimes, preserving fertility means preserving a future.
Our @HMethodistUro andrology lab now offers sperm cryopreservation-an important resource for men.
The goal isn’t just to treat infertility after it occurs. It’s to prevent avoidable infertility before it happens.

Are personal statements still personal in the age of AI?
In this study, researchers found that about one-third of urology residency applicants used generative AI, with 15% likely using it to draft their statement, and no differences in match outcomes or demographics linked to AI use.
