When a couple faces infertility, the spotlight almost always shines on the woman. She’s the one undergoing injections, scans, procedures, and endless hormone checks. But here’s a truth we see every single day at Fertilysis: male fertility matters just as much — and it’s too often overlooked.
The System Has Let Men Down
For decades, reproductive medicine has been built around treating female infertility. The old thinking was simple: if sperm existed, work around any problems — often by using techniques like ICSI in IVF. But while ICSI can bypass some sperm issues, it is not a cure. If infections, inflammation, DNA damage, or immune incompatibilities are ignored, they can still harm embryo quality, implantation, and pregnancy outcomes.
And then there’s the cultural silence. Too many men grow up believing fertility is a “women’s problem.” They don’t get tested early. They don’t get answers. And as a result, many couples waste months — even years — chasing solutions that ignore half the picture.
Men Feel It Too
Let’s be clear: men are not just “the sperm provider.” They’re emotionally, financially, and physically invested in the outcome. When their role is sidelined, it creates frustration, helplessness, and missed chances for success.
We’ve seen the transformation that happens when men are given equal care. They feel empowered, informed, and confident — because they finally understand how their health directly shapes their family’s future.
What We See That Others Miss
At Fertilysis, we go beyond basic semen analysis. We know that hidden issues like:
- DNA fragmentation and sperm FISH analysis can affect embryo development, miscarriage risk, and the health of future children.
- The male reproductive tract microbiome can influence sperm function and even affect the female partner’s reproductive health.
- Immunogenetic incompatibilities — like HLA matching or KIR–HLA-C mismatches — can quietly prevent healthy pregnancies without either partner realizing it.
These factors are invisible unless the male partner is tested — and too often, that testing never happens.
Our Approach: Equal Testing From Day One
Every embryo is half paternal, half maternal. That means both partners’ genetics, immune compatibility, and microbiome health shape the chances of success.
That’s why, at Fertilysis, we always recommend full, advanced testing for both partners from the very start, including:
- Advanced semen analysis with DNA fragmentation
- Male reproductive tract microbiome testing
- Sperm chromosomal analysis (FISH)
- Immunogenetic compatibility (HLA typing)
- KIR–HLA-C mismatch analysis
- Male karyotyping
This isn’t “extra.” It’s essential. Without it, couples risk years of failed treatments without ever discovering the root cause.
Fertilysis: Where Men Matter, Too
We believe fertility care must evolve — and we’re leading that change. We treat men as active, equal partners in diagnosis and treatment because that’s what science — and fairness — demands.
If you and your partner are on a fertility journey, don’t settle for a one-sided investigation. Come to Fertilysis, where you both get the answers you deserve.
Because your journey isn’t just hers. It’s yours, together. And that’s exactly how we treat it.
