Male infertility: What a urologist wants you to know

CNN  

Editor’s note: Dr. Jamin Brahmbhatt is a urologist and robotic surgeon with Orlando Health and an assistant professor at the University of Central Florida’s College of Medicine. Men’s fertility naturally declines with age, affecting sperm quality and genetic integrity. Various “fertility” apps and semen analysis kits available for home use allow men to assess the quality of their sperm without a doctor’s prescription. A complete fertility evaluation also includes physical exams to check for varicoceles or other anomalies, hormone tests to uncover potential imbalances that could affect sperm production, and imaging studies to identify structural obstacles. In a culture where men don’t talk about fertility and infertility wrongly defines someone as less of a man, we need to create a culture where we can talk about male reproductive health.
