Men Matter Too: Addressing 40% of Fertility Struggles. Empowering Your Journey with Evidence-based Support.
Male factor infertility refers to fertility issues that primarily stem from problems with the male partner’s reproductive system. These issues can include low sperm count, poor sperm motility (movement), abnormal sperm shape, or blockages that prevent the delivery of sperm. Factors contributing to male infertility can vary widely, including genetic factors, hormonal imbalances, lifestyle choices, environmental exposures, and certain medical conditions.
It’s important to recognise that male factor infertility plays a significant role in fertility struggles, with approximately 40% of cases stemming from issues arising with men.
For individuals or couples facing male factor infertility, specialised consultations can provide invaluable support and guidance. In these consultations, I offer a comprehensive assessment of male reproductive health, exploring factors such as medical history, lifestyle factors, previous fertility testing (if any), and any relevant medical conditions. Through a compassionate and supportive approach, I aim to create a safe space for men to discuss their concerns and goals related to fertility.
During the consultation, we delve into evidence-based strategies to optimise male fertility, which may include lifestyle modifications, dietary changes, stress management techniques, and recommendations for further diagnostic testing or medical interventions, if necessary. I provide education on male reproductive anatomy and physiology, explaining how various factors can impact fertility and discussing potential treatment options.
Moreover, these consultations offer an opportunity for individuals to ask questions, express their emotions, and receive personalised guidance tailored to their unique circumstances. By addressing male factor infertility holistically and collaboratively, I aim to empower individuals to take proactive steps towards achieving their fertility goals and ultimately building the family they desire.
