Male Fertility
Understanding Male Fertility Matters.
Male factors can play an important role when pregnancy isn't happening, which is why evaluating both partners from the beginning can provide a more complete picture of fertility.
At Davies Fertility & IVF Specialists, male fertility evaluation is considered alongside the overall fertility picture, helping identify potential concerns and determine what they may mean for your path forward.
Male Fertility Is More Than a Single Number.
Semen analysis evaluates several characteristics of sperm, including concentration, movement, and shape. Results are considered together with medical and reproductive history because no single semen measurement tells the entire fertility story.
Understanding Male Fertility
What Does a Male Fertility Evaluation Include?
Evaluation typically begins with a reproductive and medical history and semen analysis to assess factors such as sperm concentration, movement, and shape. If results suggest a concern, additional testing or evaluation by a reproductive urologist may be recommended to better understand the cause and determine appropriate next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common Questions About Male Fertility
Male fertility should generally be evaluated at the same time as the female partner when a couple is having difficulty conceiving, rather than waiting until other testing is complete.
A semen analysis evaluates several characteristics, including semen volume and sperm concentration, movement, and shape. Results are considered together because no single measurement provides a complete picture of fertility.
Not necessarily. Semen parameters can vary, and an abnormal result alone doesn't always determine fertility. Repeat testing or additional evaluation may be recommended depending on the findings.
Not always. If semen analysis or other findings suggest a concern requiring specialized evaluation or treatment, referral to a reproductive urologist may be recommended.
