If you and your partner have been trying to conceive for a year or more of regular unprotected intercourse without success, it’s time to consider seeing a male fertility specialist in London. Infertility affects about 1 in 7 couples, and male factors contribute to roughly one-third of these cases. A fertility expert can help identify whether male reproductive issues are playing a role and guide you toward effective solutions.
Common situations to see a specialist
The first step in male fertility evaluation typically involves a semen analysis — a simple, non-invasive test that checks sperm count, motility (movement), morphology (shape), and overall semen quality. Yet problems may still exist even if sperm count appears normal, which is why more specialised tests — like DNA fragmentation or hormone blood tests — are often recommended.
You should especially consider booking a consultation with a male fertility expert if you experience:
- Difficulty conceiving after a year (or six months if the female partner is over 35)
- Known medical conditions or treatments that might affect fertility, such as previous testicular surgery, chemotherapy, or hormonal issues
- Erectile dysfunction or ejaculation problems, which can impact the ability to conceive naturally
- Recurrent pregnancy loss, where male factors should be assessed as part of the overall work-up
What to expect from London’s expert care
At London Andrology, specialists work with advanced diagnostics to precisely assess male reproductive health and tailor treatment plans based on individual needs. This may include further hormone tests, lifestyle recommendations, or referral for assisted reproductive techniques if necessary.
Seeing a male fertility specialist is not solely for those struggling to conceive — proactive evaluation can also help preserve fertility and identify underlying health concerns early.
