About this session
Male fertility is influenced by a combination of sperm production, sperm quality, hormones, sexual function and wider reproductive health.
It can also be affected by age, certain medical conditions, medications, previous infections, heat exposure, smoking, alcohol and other lifestyle factors.
Fertility problems are not always caused by one clear issue, and they are not solely a women's health concern. Male factors can contribute to difficulty conceiving, which makes earlier assessment and shared responsibility important when pregnancy is taking longer than expected.
This session provides a practical introduction to male fertility, covering how sperm are produced, what can affect fertility, the role of semen analysis and when professional assessment may be appropriate.
Attendees leave with a clearer understanding of what can be influenced, what cannot and how to approach fertility conversations without unnecessary stigma.
