The Hidden Factor - Rising infertility rates and why sperm health matters more than ever

Infertility is so often seen as a women’s issue—but in this enlightening episode of the Conceive Baby podcast, we dive into the other half of the fertility equation with my guest, renowned urologist, Dr Justin Houman. We unpack the critical role that male fertility plays in conception accounting for nearly half of all infertility cases—yet it’s something we still don’t talk about enough.

We explore the concerning global decline in sperm health and the rising impact of lifestyle and environmental exposures—things like sedentary behaviour, poor nutrition, toxins, and stress. But more importantly, we look at what men can do about it.

Dr Houman shares actionable steps men can take to improve their fertility, starting with simple but essential testing like a semen analysis. He also explains advanced testing like DNA fragmentation analysis and unpacks the real causes behind male factor infertility—and what can be done to correct them.

Together, we explore how improving sperm health doesn't just support fertility—it's also a window into his overall health and longevity and sperm isn’t just a DNA carrier, it’s role in reproduction goes way beyond fertilization. Sperm health is involved in embryo health, miscarriage, pregnancy health and healthy sperm DNA helps set your future child up for the best start in life.

If you're on this journey with a partner, this is a powerful conversation to listen to together.
