Comedian Rhod Gilbert explains his struggles with male infertility and his motivation for creating his documentary “Stand Up To Infertility”.
“I’m trying to get men past the stigma and embarrassment, but I’ve got to overcome that myself” -Rhod Gilbert
Beacon CARE Fertility’s consultant Dr. Bart Kuczera agrees that the topic can be very uncomfortable for men, and as a result, men can often be under-diagnosed.
Dr. Bart notes:
“in our practice we see woman coming to us with plenty of tests of different sorts, yet a simple semen analysis is missing.”
Dr. Bart continues:
“Male infertility is very common. It accounts for roughly 25% to a third of all cases and in the remaining majority, abnormal sperm is also a contributing factor.”
At Beacon CARE Fertility, we offer a comprehensive semen analysis test.
This is a simple and noninvasive test that can help determine whether there is a male fertility issue involved.
