What Men Aren't Being Told About Their Fertility
In this episode, Dr. Trisha Zehrung, a nurse practitioner and fertility consultant, discusses the often-overlooked importance of male fertility in couples' fertility journeys. She highlights how male factors can contribute to unexplained infertility and recurrent miscarriages, and emphasizes the need for comprehensive semen analysis. Dr. Trisha explains key parameters like volume, concentration, motility, and morphology, and contrasts normal versus optimal levels. She stresses the importance of identifying and addressing underlying issues such as nutrient deficiencies, lifestyle factors, and low testosterone. Additionally, she warns about the potential negative impact of Testosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT) on fertility. The episode aims to empower couples with knowledge and solutions to improve male fertility naturally and holistically.
