Infertility can be a deeply emotional and challenging journey for many couples, and often, the focus is placed solely on female fertility. However, male infertility contributes to around half of all cases, making it just as important to explore and understand. At London Andrology, we take a compassionate and cutting-edge approach to helping men regain confidence and improve their chances of fatherhood.
Understanding the Causes
Male infertility can stem from a variety of factors, including hormonal imbalances, genetic issues, previous infections, lifestyle choices, or even stress. A thorough assessment is the first step, with our consultants offering detailed diagnostics to identify the root cause. From semen analysis to hormone testing, every step is handled with discretion and care.
Lifestyle Changes That Make a Difference
Sometimes, small changes can yield big results. Our specialists often recommend starting with simple lifestyle modifications. This may include quitting smoking, reducing alcohol intake, improving diet, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress, and avoiding exposure to harmful chemicals or heat (such as hot tubs or tight underwear). These changes can significantly improve sperm quality and overall reproductive health.
Medical and Hormonal Treatments
If lifestyle changes aren’t enough, there are several medical options available. Hormonal therapy may be used when imbalances are identified, and in some cases, medications can help stimulate sperm production. Infections or blockages may also be treated with targeted medication or minor surgical procedures.
Surgical and Advanced Fertility Treatments
For more complex cases, London Andrology offers state-of-the-art surgical solutions, such as varicocele repair or sperm retrieval techniques (e.g., Micro-TESE or PESA). These treatments can be life-changing, especially when paired with assisted reproductive technologies like IVF or ICSI, giving couples a much higher chance of success.

Every man’s fertility journey is different. At London Andrology, we focus on personalised treatment plans that are tailored to your specific needs. With a world-class team of urologists and andrology consultants, you’re in safe, supportive hands from your first consultation to treatment and beyond.
