Why male infertility matters

As of yet, modern and traditional Chinese medicine has not found a way to eliminate the man's role in having a baby ( there is no acupuncture for fertility that can magically help women have babies without good sperm!)

Even our generous sperm donors are needed for our lovely same-sex couples and non-partnered mums to be.

And of course, as nature intended (for evolution and the betterment of humanity) the male contributes 50% of the genetic material to make the beautiful little new human. Because of this fact, there is simply no other way around ensuring you can increase your chances of having a healthy pregnancy and child, without first addressing any men's fertility issues and male infertility causes.

Unfortunately, there is a male fertility crisis going on worldwide, with a 50% reduction in male fertility across the board over the past few decades. Now more than ever, male fertility improvement is vitally important.

It's not just about male fertility supplements: My understanding of why guys struggle with getting on board with fertility.

Sadly, in my clinical practice, I have seen many women who have not been able to reach their fertility goals due to a lack of congruency and understanding from their men as to how important their role is in falling pregnant.

If the partner is on board at all, often they simply feel they need to take the best male fertility supplement, and that's it! They often do not have a clear understanding of male infertility causes and how things such as foods, smoking, marijuana, alcohol, radiation stress, and sleep ( to name a few things) can help.

Now, don't get me wrong, I am definitely no expert when it comes to completely understanding men and how they think (just ask my partner!) And I definitely don't pretend to have all the answers in this post.

But I do have some lived experience to share, and hopefully, I can spark a discussion with you and your partner, to make the male infertility treatment just that little bit easier for you. both

"But my GP told me I had great sperm!"

Frustratingly, when a sperm sample is assessed by your General Practitioner, they can often be told that they are ‘A stud- Great sample!’, but in actual fact, they are absolutely not ( GP’s are great people but sometimes possess a too broad understanding of male fertility to pick up on subtle issues, this is better assessed by an Andrologist or TCM practitioner with expertise in male fertility).

Does your fella, for example, know that it takes at least four months to improve sperm quality?
Or, that they need to have an external examination to check for a common issue called varicocele, which is basically an overgrown vein that can cook the sperm? ( Something an andrologist, basically a male gynecologist, will pick up on)
Or, that you both may have a matching gene mutation that can cause the woman’s body to attack a growing embryo? (DQ Alpha gene)
Or that just seeing a clinic for IVF in Melbourne won't circumnavigate male infertility?

This, and so much more important stuff needs to be found out as to the reasons why your partner can't produce good sperm and therefore help make a baby.

In our clinic, we have roughly a 60 point check for male infertility causes/issues, and we check all of the above and more to check for male infertility causes- that’s just an outline of how detailed the man’s role is.

What can be done to help get men more on board with male infertility?

There is a lot that can be done to help men better understand and be more on board with their responsibility in their male infertility causes. and it does not have to be difficult.
