We aim to evaluate the impact of race and ethnicity on male reproductive history and care. METHODS: Anonymous patient surveys were collected at 22 North American fertility centers from 01/2014-01/2020. Domains included demographics, fertility history, and fertility-related medical, social, and procedure history. Patients were grouped by race, with differences in categorical and continuous outcomes assessed using Fisher’s Exact test and Mann-Whitney U test. RESULTS: A total of 6462 men were surveyed, of which 3320 (51%) were White, 1302 (20%) Asian/Indo-Canadian/Indo-American, 392 (6%) Black, 67 (1%) Indian/Native, 8 (0%) Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander, 1373 (21%) identified as “other”, and 122 (1.9%) did not respond. White males were more likely to seek male factor evaluation sooner (3.5 vs 3.8 years, p<0.001), have older partners (33.3 vs 32.9 years, p=0.008), use exogenous testosterone (1.3% vs 0.6%, p<0.003), use steroids (1.3% vs 0.6%, p=0.007) and to have had a vasectomy (8.4% vs 2.9%, p<0.001) as compared to other races. Black males were more likely to be older than other races (38.0 vs 36.5 years, p<0.001), seek male factor evaluation later (4.8 vs 3.6±4.4 years, p<0.001), less likely to have had a vasectomy (3.3% vs 5.9%, p=0.033), less likely to have partners that underwent intrauterine insemination (IUI) (8.2% vs 12.6%, p=0.009). Asian/Indo-Canadian/Indo-American patients were more likely to be younger (36.1 vs 36.7 years, p=0.012), with younger partners (32.8 vs 33.2 years, p=0.021), less likely to have had a vasectomy (1.2% vs 6.9%, p<0.001), and more likely to have had partners that underwent IUI or in vitro fertilization (IVF) (14.2% vs 11.9%, p=0.024 and 8.0% vs 6.3%, p=0.021, respectively). Native/Indians were more likely to wait longer before pursuing evaluation (5.1 vs 3.6 years, p=0.035) and more likely to have had a vasectomy (13.4% vs 5.7%, p=0.014). CONCLUSIONS: This is the first data looking at racial differences for males undergoing male fertility evaluation by a reproductive urologist. Racial differences exist, and a better recognition and understanding of these, in conjunction with societal and biologic factors can guide personalized care. This is an opportunity to better understand and address disparities in access to fertility care.
