While 1\/3 of infertility cases are caused by male-factor or sperm-related infertility, too often men are left out of discussions about fertility and family building, creating challenges for individuals and couples both physically and emotionally. For men and those who are in relationships with men, it\u2019s important to unpack the stigma surrounding men\u2019s reproductive health to remove barriers to care and ensure both partners play an active role in the fertility and family building process. \u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This webinar featured:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Joe Liverani: National Account Manager, Progyny&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Joshua Halpern, MD, MS: Reproductive Urologist and Chief Scientific Officer, Posterity Health&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Justin Smith: VP of Client Success, Progyny&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Monica Ochoa, LCSW: Mental Health Therapist, Pinnacle Fertility&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The stigma around male infertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Male infertility accounts for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nichd.nih.gov\/health\/topics\/menshealth\/conditioninfo\/infertility\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">1\/3 of infertility cases<\/a>, but don\u2019t be surprised if you didn\u2019t know that as it\u2019s so infrequently discussed. Conversations about infertility in media usually focus on women and those with ovaries, and rarely do you see male celebrities or prominent figures opening up about their struggles with infertility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unfortunately, there\u2019s a stigma when it comes to male infertility that contributes to this culture of silence. In many cultures, masculinity is linked to virility, and this can make men who are struggling with fertility issues feel like they\u2019re not living up to deeply rooted and held social norms about what it means to \u201cbe a man.\u201d Infertility can be seen as a personal failure even though it has absolutely nothing to do with how masculine or manly you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even though these beliefs aren\u2019t rooted in truth, they still have very real consequences for those experiencing it and their relationships. It can lead men to put off getting tested or screened because they aren\u2019t willing to accept that they could be part of why they\u2019re having trouble conceiving with their partners. But it\u2019s important to recognize that infertility isn\u2019t anyone\u2019s \u201cfault\u201d &#8211;&nbsp; you and your partner are on this journey together, and a huge part of that is being equally involved in getting to the root of the problem and working together to solve it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Navigating male-factor infertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"padding:56.25% 0 0 0;position:relative;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1091873984?h=98eb8ffcca&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;\" title=\"Clip 1 - The Male Fertility Conversation\"><\/iframe><\/div><script src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/api\/player.js\"><\/script>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you\u2019re ready to start your family building journey or just want to get an accurate sense of your options and assess your fertility, getting tested earlier rather than later is better, since it will help your <a href=\"https:\/\/progyny.com\/education\/podcast\/episode-166\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">reproductive endocrinologist (REI) and reproductive urologist (RU)<\/a> pursue the most effective treatment options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your partner is a woman, getting tested early can also be extremely beneficial for the health of your relationship, especially because it\u2019s still common for women to carry most of the physical and emotional burden of fertility treatments. When you choose to get tested early, it\u2019s a way to show your partner that you\u2019re in this together. Not only will you be able to catch any potential issues with your fertility earlier and arm you with more information, but it can also help to prevent resentment and foster a shared sense of responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During your initial assessment, your reproductive urologist (RU), a urologist who specializes in male fertility issues, will be aiming to get a holistic picture of all the different factors that may impact your fertility. You can expect them to ask you questions about your medical and sexual history, as well as your lifestyle and your reproductive history (e.g., whether you\u2019ve had children before). They will also conduct a physical exam to check the health of your testicles and screen for any potential concerns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next comes diagnostic testing. Typically, this means starting with a semen test. This provides your RU with a snapshot of the condition of your sperm. This is also an easy way to catch certain conditions like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK578191\/#:~:text=The%20exact%20pathophysiology%20of%20azoospermia%20is%20not,the%20reproductive%20tract%2C%20or%20certain%20genetic%20conditions.\">azoospermia<\/a> (when there is no sperm in your semen), which impacts 1-2% of all men and represents 10% of men with infertility. Depending on their initial evaluation, they may also recommend additional tests such as blood work, hormone testing, and genetic testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Going into this initial consultation, it\u2019s normal to feel nervous and vulnerable. That\u2019s okay! It doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s anything wrong with you \u2013 it just means you\u2019re human. If you have a partner, share how you\u2019re feeling with them and allow them to support you. Remember that you\u2019re in this together, and you\u2019re working towards a shared goal: gaining clarity and getting answers so you&#8217;re best equipped to move forward in your family building journey.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatment options for male infertility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1091874295?h=24841396aa\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"    allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are many possible treatments for infertility depending on your unique situation. It is important to discuss your options with your doctor. One large differentiator between men and women, is men can have some control over sperm quality as it regenerates every 3 months. While there is a possibility of improving sperm quality, there are some situations that do not change, which will lead to other treatments\/interventions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"1\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lifestyle changes: <\/strong>Marijuana and smoking cessation and reducing alcohol intake is highly recommended, especially if you are habitually consuming any of these substances. Your doctor may also recommend implementing regular exercise and losing weight if they feel obesity may be negatively impacting your fertility. Regular exposure to high heat \u2013 hot tubs, saunas, steam rooms \u2013 is also something to avoid.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Medication: <\/strong>Your RU may prescribe certain medications that are geared towards improving your fertility (e.g., improving levels of testosterone and other hormones that promote sperm production) or sexual function.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Surgery: <\/strong>Surgical intervention may be required in instances where lifestyle changes and medication aren\u2019t enough. This can encompass a lot of different things that range in invasiveness, so it\u2019s best to listen to what your RU and reproductive endocrinologist recommend for you and your partner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common myths and how to move forward<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"vimeo-player\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1091874629?h=9940d2734e\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\"    allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are a lot of misconceptions out there about male infertility. Here are some of the top ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Myth #1: Infertility only affects women.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When faced with trouble conceiving, it\u2019s common for a lot of men to think, \u201cIt couldn\u2019t be me.\u201d But that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth, since anywhere from 1\/3 of all infertility cases are due to male-factor infertility. Infertility is not a women\u2019s only issue \u2013 it&#8217;s a couple\u2019s issue, and it\u2019s important that both partners take the necessary steps to address any challenges faced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Myth #2: Men can take testosterone to promote fertility.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ads for testosterone replacements are seemingly everywhere, so you wouldn\u2019t be at fault for thinking they might help promote your fertility. After all, testosterone is an essential hormone when it comes to men\u2019s health, affecting everything from vitality, sex drive, muscle mass, and \u2013 of course \u2013 fertility. Unfortunately, the testosterone you need for sperm production has to come from inside your body in order to be helpful for your fertility. In fact, taking testosterone exogenously, whether through injection or topical gel \u2013 can actually harm your fertility because it shuts down your body\u2019s own production of testosterone and sperm. This isn\u2019t to say that you can\u2019t take anything to help with your testosterone production, but that\u2019s why it\u2019s crucial that you work with a reproductive urologist, who has medical expertise and is qualified to help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Myth #3: Experiencing infertility means I\u2019m not a \u201creal man.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A lot of men are conditioned to believe that male infertility equals a lack of masculinity, which can create a lot of shame and avoidance. You might feel like something\u2019s wrong with you, and it can be really isolating especially if you don\u2019t know how common male infertility actually is. Not only can it be damaging for your own well-being, it can also harm your relationship. That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to shift the conversation and reframe infertility as a shared medical journey instead of personal inadequacy. Dealing with infertility doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t have a fertility journey filled with hope and dignity. While you are going through the journey, its important to find support that can help you through. This support can come from an employee resource group through your company, community support groups that can be found through your clinic\/RU, and of course any family and\/or friends you feel comfortable sharing with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These misconceptions about male infertility won\u2019t be reversed overnight. But that\u2019s why it\u2019s so important that we continue to normalize conversations such as this about how common and normal it is. It means educating people in schools, in the workplace, in media, and in healthcare as well \u2013 about how male factor infertility is very common and often treatable. And most importantly, it means helping men feel seen and supported, physically and emotionally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re a Progyny member or have access to the Progyny benefit, your benefit includes access to Reproductive Urology services, as well as mental health support and guidance from a dedicated Progyny Care Advocate (PCA). In addition to helping navigate care and treatment options, your PCA can be another part of your support system as you tackle the challenges that can come up as you navigate your fertility journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;If you are a Progyny member and have any questions about your benefit or coverage, please call 888.597.5065.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In honor of Men&#8217;s Health Week (June 9-15), Progyny hosted an important conversation about male reproductive health.
