Women have been using the female contraceptive pill for over sixty years, and many other options have followed. Yet, after decades of research, there is still no male version of a birth control pill. Male options for contraception are limited to the condom, vasectomy or withdrawal. However, clinical trials are underway around the world testing new innovations in male contraception. New options may be less than a decade away but, when they arrive, will people want to take them? In this edition of the Inquiry Sandra Kanthal asks: Are we are ready for the new male contraceptives?

Has there been a decline in sperm quality and what can be done to aid male fertility? Pat discusses this with Professor Allan Pacey Professor of Andrology in University of Manchester.

Today, we have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Marah Hehemann, an assistant professor of urology and the Associate Program Director of Andrology at the University of Washington in Seattle. Dr. Hehemann specializes in male sexual function and fertility and also practices clinically at the university.   Hair loss can be a distressing experience for many men, leading them to seek out treatments like minoxidil (Rogaine) and finasteride (Propecia). However, these popular medications may come with potential side effects that impact sexual function. Minoxidil is unlikely to significantly affect erectile function when applied topically, as only about 1% of the medication is absorbed into the bloodstream. On the other hand, finasteride, which blocks the conversion of testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), has been associated with a 5-10% chance of negatively impacting sexual function, including reduced libido, erectile dysfunction, ejaculatory problems, and decreased sexual pleasure. These effects have been reported with both the higher 5mg dose used for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and the lower 1mg dose for male pattern baldness.     For more free erectile dysfunction education and resources, please visit: https://erectioniq.com/    Mark Goldberg helps men resolve erectile dysfunction.

Male fertility is like an old car. If you take care of it and let it run how it wants, it should work all the time. But like all health sciences, there are exceptions to this rule and sometimes we need to take a different approach.    Dr. Paul Turek is joining me today from a vintage car mechanic shop to teach us how men can optimize their sperm quality and what factors affect it the most. Dr. Turek, the founder and director of The Turek Clinic and the inventor of sperm mapping, knows how to get to the bottom of male infertility to get men back on the road and running like new.    He says, “​​My approach to the treatment of male sexual health issues is similar to a vintage Ferarri: If you take the time to straighten out all of the kinks, it will run hard and fast.”   It really can be this simple, but if it turns out there are deeper underlying issues, Dr. Turek knows where to look with a method he invented called sperm mapping. It can not only give a bigger picture of male fertility but also detect other underlying health issues earlier than normal fertility testing.     Join us to learn why sperm is certainly 50% of the equation when it comes to conception, and what tools are available to improve male fertility. Because it's not just a fertility play, it's a men's health play.  Key  Topics/Takeaways Fertility is a team sport [3:53] Sperm epigenetics and its contribution to fertility outcomes [5:44] Semen analysis does not make the man, the man makes the semen analysis [8:18] Looking beyond the semen analysis to optimize sperm quality [10:51] Male infertility is a canary in the coal mine of his health [15:38] Developing an artificial testicle for stem cells [21:16] What sperm mapping tells us about testicular health [25:12] Noninvasive ways to improve male fertility [31:46] It's a men's health play, not just a fertility play [32:48] About Dr. Paul Turek Dr. Paul Turek is the world's leading innovator in male reproductive health. Dr. Turek is the founder and director of The Turek Clinic. The practices are “clinical homes for men,” designed to provide state-of-the-art medical treatment to men across the globe. Dr. Turek is a leader in his field. A past president of the American Society of Andrology, he is a recipient of a prestigious National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant for research designed to help infertile men become fathers and has published some of the highest success rates worldwide for vasectomy reversals.

In today's Shop Talk, Lisa presents basic Biomedical and TCM information about BPH (Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia), a condition that every Acupuncturist will most likely see in their clinic at some point in their career unless you don't treat older gentlemen. She presents common causes, symptoms, biomed treatments, TCM differentials and a few basic points. You can use these points in your clinic tomorrow to start successfully treating this condition! It's a condition that responds very well to what we have to offer, acupuncture and herbs! For a more in-depth understanding on BPH and other common men's health conditions you can take one of Lisa's courses. Information on my upcoming courses will be announced on herb blog at: https://whole-healthacupuncture.com/blog. She also offers consultations services and is always open to just talk to other practitioners about this subject, of which she is so passionate about! You can contact Lisa directly at: Lisa.whacupuncture@gmail.com.About Lisa LapwingDr. Lisa Lapwing a specialist in men's health (Andrology). As you may be aware, we're not taught much about this subject in school and I therefore, had to learn about it myself through reading/researching, talking to other professionals and trial and error. Now, over a decade later, after treating various sexual health conditions for men and women, I'm filling in the gaps in education on Andrology in TCM. As an expert in this field I have spoken for and have had an article published with SUNA (Society of Urologic Nurses and Associates), I've taught classes for AOMA and FSOMA.

In this episode we discuss Peyronies disease, a condition faced by about 10% of men.  Peyronies disease can cause pain, erectile dysfunction and, for some men, a complete inability to have sex.  But what exactly is Peyronies disease and what causes the condition?  How do you know if you have it? Does Peyronies disease always require treatment?  What are the treatment options and how well do they work?

In this episode we discuss varicoceles, a condition found in 15% of men that can cause both pain and infertility.  In fact, varicoceles are found in 35% of men with infertility.  But what exactly is a varicocele and what causes the condition?  How do you know if you have a varicocele? Do all varicoceles need treatment?  How are they treated and what are the outcomes?  To answer these questions and many more, we turned to a true expert.  Dr. Mary Samplaski is an associate professor of Urology and Director of Male Infertility, Andrology and Microsurgery at the University of Southern California. She earned her medical degree at the George Washington University and went on to complete her residency training in Urology at the Cleveland Clinic.

She has received numerous awards and accolades for her academic accomplishments, including the prestigious Bruce Hubbard Stewart Award for Humanistic Medicine. She is a reviewer for over 10 major urologic journals.  And now, without further ado, I bring you our conversation with Dr. Mary Samplaski about varicoceles.#varicocele #infertility #varicoceletreatment

In Growing Older Living Younger, we discuss how small changes in lifestyle and habits can have a big impact on your health and vitality as you age. Using healthy aging strategies, tools and products, you can favourably alter your aging at the cellular level by changing gene expression, and differentiating your biological age from your chronological age. The impact of the explosion of genomic research on our understanding of biomarkers and our ability to alter biological aging, has been huge. One development has been the creation of measures of biological age that can tell you if you are physiologically younger or older than your chronological age.  Precision Medicine  or Precision Health is an approach for disease treatment and prevention that takes into account individual variability in genes, environment, and lifestyle for each person As a practicing endocrinologist in Manhattan, today's guest, Dr. Florence Comite, embraces Precision Medicine for both prevention and treatment. She graduated from The Yale School of Medicine, founded Women's Health at Yale, and was on the faculty at Yale Medical School for 25 years. An endocrinologist with multidisciplinary training in Internal Medicine, Pediatrics, Gynecology, and Andrology, she has conducted seminal clinical research at Yale and the NIH Institute of Child Health and Human Reproduction, in Reproductive Endocrinology and Metabolism, Adult and Pediatric Endocrinology, Gynecology and Andrology. She is the founder and CEO of Groq Health, bringing Precision Medicine to the mobile phone.   Our conversation about preventative medicine, genes and environment took several  interesting turns, into discussion of how external or environmental factors can change the aging of identical twins, how low fat, carb rich diets can cause severe reactive hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) and 5 key predictive biomarkers we should check.

I love Dr. Denise's focus on restoring quality of life and normalizing that there's no normal in sexual function and desires for men. Instead of a disease-centered approach that puts a diagnosis in the spotlight, focusing on getting back to enjoying life with a personal approach. Dr. Denise Asafu-Adjei is a urologist with subspecialty training in sexual dysfunction and male infertility. She completed a Fellowship in Andrology at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). She will be joining the Urology Department at Loyola University in Chicago as the Medical Director of Male Reproductive Medicine. We cover topics like: The reason why men don't seek out healthcare as often as women do Penis-performance and other cultural expectations Ultrasound and traction device therapy for Peyronie's disease When you have a concern, the first step is finding a provider you trust to get reliable and accurate answers to your questions. Men tend to be less proactive in scheduling routine appointments with physicians and face social and cultural messages that can be constraining, misleading, and create fear around going to the doctor for sexual health concerns. Because it's not openly discussed, concerns and underlying causes may go untreated for years. In my practice I see a gap in access to care, trust in the medical community, and not knowing when and who to schedule an appointment with when sexual health concerns arise. In Dr. Denise's practice, she has seen patients struggling to talk about their sexual health and that many physicians aren't comfortable talking about sex.

In this episode we are giving our supplement spotlight to Coenzyme Q10, or CoQ10 for short. If you've been In the fertility grind for a while then you are likely already aware of this supplement. It's a good one. Let's spend this episode talking about why and how to use it. CoQ10 is a nutrient that occurs naturally in the body. Our highest levels of this compound are found in the liver, heart, kidneys, and pancreas. Cells use CoQ10 for various functions, such as growth and maintenance. CoQ10 also functions as an antioxidant by protecting cells in the body from damage caused by harmful molecules. It plays many vital roles in our diet and health and functions like a vitamin to boost energy production in the body, while also helping to fight the leading causes of cardiovascular disease.  Not only has the substance been touted for its neurological and cardiac health benefits, modern studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 can have a significant impact on fertility.According to research published in the Journal of Fertility and Sterility, women who were given 600 mg of CoQ10 supplements per day saw improved egg health and fertilization rates.The consumption of CoQ10 supplements has also been found to enhance male fertility. A study published in the Journal of Andrology found that men who took 200 to 300 mg of CoQ10 daily experienced a noticeable increase in sperm motility and sperm count, as well as an overall boost in sperm health. Tune into the episode to learn more about the benefits of CoQ10, and how to take it for best fertility outcomes. 

Why are there such gaps in our knowledge when it comes to male reproductive health? Well as we continue with our Early Years theme we're in conversation with Rene Almeling -   sociologist and author of a new book called Guynecology, a smart book with a smart title. The Fertility Podcast is dedicated to giving a voice to male fertility issues, both with the expert interviews we share and inviting men to come and share their experiences. We also champion the importance for Men to be included in ALL fertility discussions, which we know often isn't the case. Natalie came across Rene's book after reading an article in Elle magazine and didn't hesitate to get Rene on the show as we needed to hear more about Guynecology! Rene takes us back in history to explain why, until recently, men's reproductive health was largely ignored. At the end of the 19th century, a move by US doctors to develop a male fertility speciality was ridiculed, mainly due to the stigma surrounding what was then in focus - venereal disease. In the 1960s another group of doctors developed the speciality Andrology but to this day Andrology is in no way near the established speciality like its female reproductive health equivalent. A pet hate of Kate's is that fertility clinics rarely work alongside each other, and Rene tells us about emerging research looking into paternal effects and why it is important to have more joined-up working. This new research suggests that the impact of age, lifestyle and exposure to chemicals, in the 2-3 months that sperm is developing, can damage sperm in a way that can impact not just fertility, but importantly the health of the child. Rene talks about the importance of adding male fertility to the school curriculum and missed opportunities of talking to young men about their reproductive health. From her research into the topic, Renee concluded that we don't need a whole new speciality of male reproductive health. We just need to take our umbrella of reproductive health and stretch it to cover men too. Rene's book is so interesting and if you have an interest in male fertility or you or your partner are struggling with male factor infertility then this is for you.

In this episode we discuss erectile dysfunction in young men. Did you know that 1 in 4 men under the age of 40 experience erectile dysfunction.  Are the erectile problems faced by these men different from the typical erectile dysfunction experienced by middle aged and older men? Is erectile dysfunction in young men caused by different underlying problems?  Do these men need a different evaluation?  Should they be offered different treatment options? In order to answer these questions, we turned to Dr. Nannan Thirumavalavan.  Dr. Thirumavalavan is Chief of Male Reproductive and Sexual Health at University Hospitals as well as Assistant Professor of Urology at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine.  Dr. Thirumavalavan earned his medical degree at Boston University School of Medicine and subsequently completed his residency in urology at Boston Medical Center. He then completed a National Institutes of Health-sponsored fellowship in Male Reproductive Medicine and Surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. Dr. Thirumavalavan has earned numerous awards in his career, including the AUA Men's Health Traveling Fellowship in 2014, the NIH Travel award in 2018 for the American Society of Andrology, and the Society for Male Reproduction and Urology Traveling Scholarship in 2018. He teaches and mentors resident urologists and medical students. 

When it comes to Male Fertility, there's so much to talk about in today's episode we're getting under the skin of sperm issues... it's the science bit, discussed by two male fertility experts. GETTING TECHNICALThere is a lot of information in here from discussions about the surgery that can be performed to assist with sperm blockages to explaining how we can overdose with supplementations when we're trying to improve our health. Dr. Muhammad Akhtar is a  highly experienced Consultant Gynaecologist and an accredited sub-specialist in reproductive medicine, Muhammad specializes in male infertility, andrology, and 3D gynecological scanning. Dr. Akhtar explains how men who have any medical conditions in their youth, such as diabetes or high blood pressure or need hormone treatments, should have a fertility assessment early as their sperm health might be better earlier and they could freeze samples.  He also explains how men make sperm every day, therefore, all lifestyle impacts such as diet, stress, smoking, heat exposure. It's important to remember that the sperm has been there for 60-70 days. This needs to be made clearer to men.  Supplementation  Dr. Akhtar talks about how it can be good and bad that men can take too much or change their lifestyle too much if they're making salads, eating kale…he advises that you need to choose carefully.  Find out more about Manchester Fertility https://www.manchesterfertility.com/ (here ) Arm RaheemMy second guest is Amr Raheem a consultant Andrologist, at Andrology London who I spoke to further about male infertility issues and the surgery that can be done when there are issues regarding sperm retrieval.    International Andrology Londonoffers the latest treatments in men's healthcare. As a member of the International Andrology (IA), an international collaborative network of the leading practitioners of Andrology its doctors are experienced, Urologist-Andrologist surgeons. We discussed how there are three categories of sperm issues:  Functional:If there's a problem with the way the 'factory' is working Blockage If there's a blockage somewhere, even though the factory is working, so it's preventing the sperm to come to the outside Coital  Eg. Sexual action, some men have weaker action, some ejaculate too soon, some have a small penal size or curvature Find out more about the fertility services available https://london-andrology.co.uk/services/fertility/male-sub-fertility/ ( here  )Follow on Twitter https://twitter.com/IntAndrology (here) and Facebook https://www.facebook.com/InternationalAndrologyLondon (here )

COR2ED Medical Education: Dr Jason Alcorn, nurse consultant for Uro-Oncology & Andrology at the Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, United Kingdom and Dr Alicia Morgans, Genitourinary Medical Oncologist and Medical Director of the Survivorship Program at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in the United States, discuss 'PARP inhibitors in prostate cancer: Management of adverse events and the importance of communication with patients’ as part of the GU NURSES CONNECT podcast series covering ‘PARP inhibitors in prostate cancer’. In this podcast, the experts discuss adverse events associated with PARP inhibitors and the management of them, in particular thrombocytopenia, gastrointestinal effects and fatigue. Jason provides some insight into how nurses support and communicate with patients, the importance of early reporting of side effects and how to manage these. Finally, the ongoing trials of PARP inhibitors in combination with other prostate cancer treatments are also considered and what these trials may mean for patients.

In this episode we discuss penile enlargement.  A recent study revealed that 45% of men wish that their penises were larger. That desire is further confirmed by the multitudes of creams, medications, and procedures promising to increase the length and/or the girth of the penis.  But is it actually possible to increase the size of the penis? Do any of these treatments actually work?  And, if so, to what extent?  What are the risks of these penile enhancement treatments?  And are there trade offs involved?  To answer these questions, we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Matthew Ziegelmann.  Dr. Ziegelmann is an Assistant Professor specializing in male sexual dysfunction and infertility (Andrology) in the Department of Urology at the Mayo Clinic. He obtained his medical degree from the University of Minnesota and then completed a residency in urology at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. He then continued his sub-specialty training in male sexual dysfunction and infertility (Andrology) at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, IL. He is an active member of the American Urological Association, North Central Section, and Sexual Medicine Society of North America. He has published extensively in male sexual dysfunction and speaks nationally on topics related to male sexual dysfunction and other urologic conditions.

What is Andrology? My episode today takes another look at male infertility.Dr. Sheryl Homa is why she set up Andrology Solutions and the tests she offers men faced with an infertility diagnosis. We discuss why she believes Andrology is often overlooked when couples are struggling to conceive. It doesn't make sense when it provides such insight into male fertility. Intervention can ultimately help with fertility treatment. Her clinic http://www.andrologysolutions.co.uk/ (Andrology Solutions) whilst situated in London attracts people from all over the world and offers a range of tests. One of which is only available at Andrology Solutions tests Oxidative stress levels in semen.  Sheryl explains more about in our chat and what Men can be done to help improve their sperm health. Sheryl Homa works with Urologists such as Jonathan Ramsay who I spoke to in a previous episode and you can listen tohttps://www.thefertilitypodcast.com/rich/ ( here ) You can also follow Sheryl on https://twitter.com/Andrology_Sol (Twitter)   Is going to bed early the secret to great sperm? https://t.co/Uq2RwlVCY9 (https://t.co/Uq2RwlVCY9)— Andrology Solutions (@Andrology_Sol) https://twitter.com/Andrology_Sol/status/865846496142524416 (May 20, 2017)I also spoke with James Docherty who has created the Scantily Dad blog which considering he only started in March (2017) has a tonne of content available sharing his infertility journey as well as lots of fab pictures of his gorgeous family.

In this episode we discuss penile implants.  Most guys are aware of the common treatments for erectile dysfunction ranging from pills to injections to vacuum pumps.  But what if those treatments don't work or have intolerable side effects?  Did you know that erectile dysfunction can also be treated by surgically implanting devices into the penis that can create erections on demand?  So what is involved with this type of surgery? Are these implants safe?  How do they work?  What are the risks?  And are they durable enough to last for the long haul?  To help us answer these questions, we are fortunate to be joined by Dr. Marah Hehemann.  Dr. Hehemann is a board certified urologist specializing in male reproductive and sexual health.  She earned her medical degree from Rush Medical College.  Dr.  Hehemann completed her general and urologic surgical training at Loyola University Medical Center and then completed a fellowship in Andrology, Male Reproductive and Sexual Health at the University of Washington.   Dr. Hehemann is an active member of several national and international societies including the Sexual Medicine Society of North America and the Society for the Study of Male Reproductive Health, and serves on the Editorial Board of the Video Journal of Prosthetic Urology.

In this episode we discuss testicular and scrotal pain.  Most guys have had pain in their testicles and scrotum at some point.  This pain is usually short lived and goes away on its own.  But for some men, the pain does not go away. It persists and begins to affect their day to day lives, limiting their activities, destroying their sex lives, and impacting their mental health.  What causes this chronic pain in the scrotum?  How should it be evaluated?  And what treatment options are available?  In order to answer these questions, we spoke with Dr Petar Bajic.  Dr Bajic is a urologist in the Center for Men's Health at the Glickman Urological and Kidney Institute in Cleveland, Ohio, and Assistant Professor of Urology at the Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine of Case Western Reserve University. He specializes in men's health and sexual medicine. Dr. Bajic earned his medical degree from the University of Toledo College of Medicine. He then completed his residency training in urology at Loyola University Medical and a fellowship in Andrology and Genitourinary Reconstructive Surgery at Rush University Medical Center. Dr. Bajic is an avid researcher and physician-scientist. Dr. Bajic is Associate Editor for the medical journal Urology and is a regular reviewer for multiple other medical journals.  

In Episode 13, we heard the fascinating career story of Biomedical Scientist in Haematology turned famous comic and actor Dave Spikey. Dave is best known for his stand-up comedy tours, starring in sitcom Phoenix Nights alongside Peter Kay and Paddy McGuinness, presenting Bullseye, Chain Letters and being a team captain on 8 out of 10 Cats. Before he moved over to comedy, Dave led a successful 30-year career in Biomedical Science – rising the ranks to become Chief Biomedical Scientist in Haematology at The Royal Bolton Hospital. Dave recollects his journey into Biomedical Science from school pupil to trainee medical laboratory technician to senior biomedical scientist. He discussed the various roles he held and the innovations in the field he brought about. We then challenged Dave, who is a former Mastermind champion to our very own Haematology quiz. He then took us through his move from Biomedical Science into comedy, writing, film production and television - from a local hospital pantomime performance to a national stand-up tour, starring in iconic sitcoms and hosting television game shows. In the Quick-Fire round, Dave shared his most funny memory from his days back in the lab! Then in LabLife, Dr Martin Khechara is joined by Andrologist Sheryl Homa, who discussed the importance of this marginalised, but vital specialism. She also tells us about her recent appearance on a BBC documentary with comedian Rhod Gilbert.

It was an absolute pleasure to chat with Professor Sheryl Homa this week on the podcast. Sheryl Homa is an HCPC registered Clinical Scientist with a special interest in male fertility. She obtained her degrees in Biochemistry at Imperial College of Science and Technology and the Middlesex Hospital Medical School. She spent a large part of her career as an academic research scientist in the field of oocyte maturation, funded by the National Institutes of Health in the USA. For many years she served as Scientific Director of several fertility clinics in the UK working in both the public and private sectors. During this time, she became aware that male fertility is considerably marginalised and as a result, opened Andrology Solutions in 2007, the first and only HFEA licensed clinic of its kind, dedicated to male infertility. She has collaborated on many research projects and is the author of numerous scientific articles, abstracts and book chapters in the fertility field. Her studies include investigating calcium signaling in sperm and more recently, the role of oxidative stress and infection on sperm quality. Sheryl has been responsible for introducing and CE marking novel state of the art testing for male infertility, including a chemiluminescence assay for measuring seminal reactive oxygen species. Currently Sheryl is honorary Professor in Biosciences at University of Kent and consultant clinical lead for Andrology at The Doctors Laboratory. We chatted about how men are equally responsible for creating an embryo that would lead to a child, how half of the genetic material is from men and that the child is a reflection of the genetic material of both partners. That it isn't just about getting pregnant or staying pregnant but ultimately the health of a child.    We talked about how sperm and eggs need to be as fit and healthy as they can be and how if the sperm or egg is damaged in anyway this passes to every cell of the child and this is an area that I talk about a lot with my clients: that we need to widen our vision looking further than just getting pregnant.  This helps us make the changes necessary. Sheryl said something that really made sense to me and she said that she advises her male clients to act as though they are pregnant so in the few months leading up to conception to think about their sperm as that they are carrying pre babies. We know that 11 to 12 weeks is necessary for both the sperm and the egg to develop fully and so a preconception preparation plan is absolutely vital and she compared this to preparing for Wimbledon and saying that if you were going to compete at Wimbledon you wouldn't just rush on and play would you? No, you would prepare with training, health and with the right equipment.  I’m a huge fan of an analogy myself, I’ve often used the example of how you wouldn’t ‘just run’ a marathon. We looked at how it's important to consider quality and not quantity and how this is important to maximise your chances of both natural and assisted fertility and we need the best quality egg and sperm. We talked about the sperm analysis and how this is a crucial first step and provides great information but it only tells you if there are potentially enough and we know the parameters are low, too low, and if sufficient are moving. However, it doesn't tell us whether the sperm is capable of getting to the egg or if it is capable of entering the egg or if it has the right triggers to ensure embryo development. Resistance infertility circles was something that we discussed as well and this letters onto the resistance amongst the fertility clinics to undertake two very specific tests that give it so much information about the sperm in terms of fertility but also importantly in terms of miscarriage and how this really should be offered to all couples experiencing recurrent miscarriage and those tests are the DNA fragmentation test and the oxidative stress test on the sperm. Something that comes up for me with my clients and with something that we discussed is how some Doctors and clinics will say that even if the test showed DNA fragmentation or oxidative stress there isn't anything that can be done about it, but Sheryl explained how there might be quite a bit you can do about it. We discussed also how a condition called Variocele maybe a huge factor in terms of sperm quality, how a full clinical history should be taken for male partners, how women have an ultrasound but that men aren’t examined at all. How underlying infections which are not looked at are an underlying cause of conception and potentially miscarriage as well and how a microbiology test on the sperm is a crucial  test. Of course we discussed the recent documentary by Rhod Gilbert ‘stand up for infertility’ Which led us to chat about physical issues and emotional issues. Not only emotional issues in terms of how they may affect sperm physically but the lack of support for men who are going through a fertility journey. She mentioned a Facebook group the men's fertility support run by Gareth Down which I would urge you to point your male partners in the direction of   We chatted about some basic general advice at the start of a couples fertility journey and we discussed as you've heard me talk about before why trying to conceive at or just before ovulation may in fact be too late and how important a regular ejaculate is because stored sperm is in effect rubbish sperm, and that again it's not just about numbers it's about freshness and quality She will also explained how we were missing a vital piece in the journey and that your GP referring you to the fertility clinic straight away which is ultimately for assisted fertility is like going to your doctor with heart palpitations and the doctor saying let's get you a heart transplant. She explains that IVF is circumvention, how it is not managing fertility and that after initial GP tests, further investigation should take place and treatments suggested to correct possible fertility factors.  Further investigation can be undertaken by an Andrologist. Something of interest that was pointed out in Rhod Gilbert's documentary is that there are 8000 registered Gynaecologists in the UK and only 200 registered Andrologist. It is Gynaecologists with a specialism in Fertility that you are referred to at the Fertility clinic Considering an Andrologist looks at male fertility factors this clearly isn't representing half of the equation is it? She said something which I have been saying you will have heard me saying certainly my clients have heard me say but there is too much emphasis on pushing towards IVF when this may not be needed and if IVF is needed we should be paying more attention to improving the quality of the egg and the sperm . You can find Sheryl at Andrology Solutions  If you want any more information, see where you’re at or would like to find out how working with me on the Fertility Rewire Method may help you, then you can arrange Free call Free resources are available including what your bleed can tell you about your fertility and a free visualisation.

Rene Almeling's new book GUYnecology: The Missing Science of Men's Reproductive Health (University of California Press, 2020) provides an in-depth look at why we do not talk about men's reproductive health and this knowledge gap shapes reproductive politics today. Over the past several centuries, the medical profession has made enormous efforts to understand and treat women's reproductive bodies. It is only recently, however, that researchers have begun to ask basic questions about how men's health matters for reproductive outcomes, from miscarriage to childhood illness. Andrology failed to establish itself as a medical specialty in the nineteenth-century and there continues to be a lack of attention to the importance of men's age, health, and exposure. Dr. Almeling examines the production, circulation, and reception of biomedical knowledge about men's reproductive health. Throughout this book she conducts an in-depth analysis of male reproductive health by using historical documents, media messages, and qualitative interviews. The findings outlined in this book demonstrate how this non-knowledge shapes reproductive politics today. Rene Almeling, Ph.D. is Associate Professor of Sociology, and, by courtesy, American Studies, Public Health, and Medicine at Yale University. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is a Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. His most recent research, “The Queen and Her Royal Court: A Content Analysis of Doing Gender at a Tulip Queen Pageant“, was published in Gender Issues Journal. He researches culture, social identity, and collective representation as it is presented in everyday social interactions.

El tema del reemplazo hormonal con testosterona está muy satanizado. Si lo vas a hacer, hazlo con alguien que verdaderamente sepa.

Professor Bartke is the Distinguished Scholar and Professor of Internal Medicine and Physiology at Southern Illinois University (SIU) School of Medicine in Springfield, Illinois, USA.  The focus of his research is on genetic and hormonal control of aging in mammals.  His current work is aimed at identifying mechanisms that link reduced growth hormone action with delayed aging and extended longevity.  For this work, he is using mutant mice that live longer than normal mice and show various symptoms of delayed aging, including retention of cognitive function and protection from age-related disease. His career includes work at the Jangiellonian University in Krakow, Poland, Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts, the University of Texas Health Center at San Antonio, and SIU-Carbondale.  He is a past president of the Society for the Study of Reproduction, the American Society of Andrology and the American Aging Association.  Dr. Bartke has published more than 750 research papers, review articles and book chapters dealing with reproductive endocrinology, prolactin, growth hormone and aging, and has received numerous awards, in addition to 45 years of continuous NIH funding. His laboratory was the first to show that mutation of a single gene can extend mammalian longevity and to suggest that the remarkable increase in the lifespan of Ames dwarf mice is due to growth hormone (GH) deficiency.  During the last 20 years his lab has extensively characterized phenotypic characteristics of long-lived hypopituitary and GH-resistant mice.  Contributions of his group to reproductive endocrinology and the hormonal and genetic control of aging include nearly 600 peer reviewed publications and more than 150 book chapters and review articles.  According to the Web of Science Alert, his work has been cited on an average of 490 times per year since 1975 and more than 774 times per year since 2004.    

I Absolutely thrilled to chat with Barbara Scott, founder of Reproflexology, a specific fertility reflexology protocol.  We covered so much, I would take a seat, and really absorb this.  We chatted about Male factor issues in fertility and the sadly overlooked impact in todays fertility model.  The podcast relating to the sperm decline can be found here We chatted about the decline in sperm numbers and normal from. Sperm morphology relates to how well the sperm are formed.  In the 1960's this was 80% normal forms, today 4% is considered the norm.  So 96% of sperm are not of healthy form.  So 4% of 30 million is perhaps OK, but 4% of 3 million, 15million,  or even 100 million is not so great. DNA fragmentation is not routinely tested.  DNA fragmentation s a huge huge issue. The video regarding Made in Chelsea Actor, Ollie Locke who underwent the sperm comet test and was surprised at how poor the results are can be found here Andrology is the study of sperm and detailed testing can be undertaken at Sheryl Homers clinic, Andrology Solutions, also  Brian Woodward at X and Y Fertility The examen clinic details regarding the DNA Frgamentaion can be found here Research looked at 239 couples experiencing Unexplained fertility found that 80% had sperm DNA fragmentation, and this is not something tested unless you specifically seek it.  Additional testing, and more specific lifestyle changes are imperitive and should be taken on board.  You can support for this: A reproductive refloxologist can be found here if you want to get in touch with Barbara or attend her clinic in Wales, you can find her here WE mentioned fertilise and Proceed.  There is an issue with availabliliy with Fertilix currently, but If you want to check out the DNA fragmentation risk factors, Fertilix do have a questionnaire you can fill in. We also discussed how men are treated within the Fertility system and mentioned Fertility Fest, you can check it out here Fertility Rewire Website If you would like to work with me, let's arrange a free 20 minute discovery call.   Fertility Rewire Facebook Fertility Rewire Instagram We mentioned fertilise and Proceed.  There is an issue with availabliliy with Fertilix currently, but If you want to check out the DNA fragmentation risk factors, Fertilix do have a questionnaire you can fill in.

During my conversations with clients over the years, it is apparent that Finances are a considerable area of concern for most people when they require fertility treatment. Next to relationship problems and breakdown, finances are a significant reason that prevent people from seeking further treatment. In Australia the average cost of an IVF cycle is approximately $10,000, however in that cost you must also consider the extras and the hidden costs that you may not have budgeted for when embarking on your treatment.

Interview with Alice (Ally) Domar & Elizabeth (Liz) Grill The psychological journey through infertility for a man is a lonely confusing one.
