Fertility is not solely a woman’s responsibility; it is a shared journey. By seeking help early, men can boost their chances of fatherhood, and gain insights into their overall health.

While infertility is often perceived as a female-only issue, males contribute to nearly half of all infertility cases, doctors say. And yet, due to societal stigma and lack of awareness, men often do not seek help in a timely manner. Male fertility testing is crucial for diagnosing potential problems early on, and also to provide clarity.
