Male infertility has a variety of causes and is a contributing factor in about 30% of couples struggling with infertility.
A basic assessment of male fertility requires an RRM doctor to understand if sexual function is normal and to assess semen parameters.
In many cases poor semen (sperm) quality is linked with health conditions that range from poor lifestyle through to underlying medical
problems. Occasionally, semen is affected by conditions that may be improved with surgery. Occupational hazards and other possible issues
can also be addressed, with improvement in male fertility.
Before seeing one of our RRM doctors, you can take steps to improve sperm quality by having a healthy weight, limiting alcohol intake,
quitting smoking and eating a balanced diet. In addition to helping manage medical conditions, we can recommend supplements that may improve
sperm quality.
