Nearly 50% of infertility cases, among couples are due to male-related factors, including low sperm count, poor motility & morphology, hormonal imbalances, and genetic conditions. Infertility is a burden of blame that is unfairly being placed on women. This reluctance to acknowledge male infertility leads to delays in diagnosis and treatment, affecting the emotional and mental well-being of couples. Couples facing difficulties in conceiving should seek medical advice together, rather than assuming that the issue lies solely with the woman.

Advanced male fertility treatments such as MicroTESE, Microfluidics, and sperm retrieval techniques offer promising solutions, but the first step begins with awareness and open conversations. “It is high time we change the narrative—fertility is not just a woman’s issue; it is a shared responsibility. It’s time, that men step up and involve right from the first consultation. Parenthood journey begins with both the partners.”
