Frequently asked questions
How do I know if male factor is part of our fertility problem?
You cannot know without a semen analysis, because male factor has no reliable symptoms — normal libido and function tell you nothing about count, motility or morphology. It contributes in roughly half of couples struggling to conceive, and it is still the most commonly skipped first step. We ask for the analysis early, repeat an abnormal result about three months later rather than acting on one sample, and look at the metabolic drivers behind a low result: blood sugar, thyroid, inflammation, sleep apnea, alcohol and heat exposure.
Will testosterone therapy improve my sperm count?
No. Exogenous testosterone suppresses the signal that drives sperm production, so it acts as a contraceptive, and recovery after stopping can take months. If conception is the goal, the levers that raise testosterone without shutting down sperm production are strength training, sleep, treating insulin resistance and central weight, reducing alcohol, treating sleep apnea, and avoiding sustained heat. If TRT has been proposed while you are trying to conceive, ask what the plan is for sperm production and whether a semen analysis was done first.
