Today we are diving into a topic that affects millions of men worldwide: male infertility. Often, male infertility is less spoken about when compared with female infertility, due to a lack of awareness and stigma around masculinity. 
Interestingly, male infertility is involved in up to half of all couples struggling to conceive.
In this episode, we peel away misconceptions and explore the many factors that can lead to an abnormal semen analysis, including lifestyle contributors such as heat, and alcohol and drug use.
Fertility specialist Dr Kate Burston explains how effective vasectomy reversals can be, and discusses the important role GPs play in testing and taking patient histories before making a referral to a fertility specialist.
Kate provides comprehensive fertility care, with a particular passion for men’s health, working across neighbouring areas of Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and Port Stephens, in the Hunter Region of New South Wales.
