How Often is Unexplained Infertility Due to the Male?

Approximately 25% of human infertility is unexplained. 

That means that both partners check out fine, yet infertility persists. One good feature about evaluating men for infertility is that you can really "poke" around sperm and look at them in detail, both molecularly and genetically. Based on our recent research and that of others, taking a "deeper dive" into sperm can reveal problems such as DNA fragmentation and epigenetic issues that can explain unexplained infertility.

Male factor infertility constitutes 30-50% of human infertility. Despite being half the problem, only 1 in 5 men has a proper male infertility evaluation before pursuing IVF. 

We now know that male infertility: 
1) can be cured, often rendering IVF unnecessary, 
2) may reflect underlying health issues that need medication attention, 
3) treatments can increase the success rates of IVF procedures, 
4) treatments are more cost-effective than IVF. 

These are excellent reasons for every infertile couple's male partner to undergo a proper male factor infertility evaluation with an infertility specialist who has dedicated their profession to treating men.

We would love to be your partners on this journey.
