Eugonia possesses a long-term experience and specialization in the treatment of paraplegic men with assisted reproduction technologies. It is remarkable that the first live birth from a couple where the man was paraplegic was achieved in our clinic by Dr. Tr. Lainas in 1998.

In the absence of ejaculation, which is noted in men with spinal cord injuries, diabetes mellitus or neurological causes, sperm can be collected by using an electro-ejaculation device, hence avoiding surgical retrieval or testicular biopsy.

Electro-ejaculation is carried out in our Unit by a urologist. With this treatment we can collect motile spermatozoa, which after being processed, can be used to fertilize the oocytes with the method of Intracytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI), that itself requires additional expertise by the embryologists.
