What is Male Fertility Assessment & Treatment?
Male fertility assessment involves a systematic medical evaluation of sperm production, hormonal balance, testicular health, and reproductive tract anatomy.
Treatment is then tailored to the underlying cause and may include medical therapy, surgical correction, or surgical sperm retrieval when indicated.
The aim is to optimise natural conception where possible or support assisted reproductive techniques when required.
