Understanding Male infertility is a significant part of men’s health, which is often overlooked. The impact of infertility on those with male reproductive organs can be significant to both physical and mental wellbeing.
Taking the steps to seek medical support can be intimidating. Whatever your reason for seeking fertility care, understanding the process can help to make getting support on your journey easier to manage.
At IVI our specialists provide a fertility assessment which allows insight into the cause of male fertility issues. A fertility assessment involves a semen analysis, otherwise known as a seminogram. During a semen analysis, a semen sample is analyzed to establish the s***m count (the number of s***m present), s***m motility (how the s***m move) and s***m morphology (the shape of the s***m).
In some cases, s***m quality is affected by certain lifestyle factors, such as drinking alcohol, smoking or being overweight. One of our expert fertility consultants at IVI UK can discuss your results with you and advise whether changing lifestyle habits could increase your potential to conceive.
Understanding your own fertility can expand the options for your future reproductive health, whether that means trying to conceive, or preserving your fertility.
