Infertility isn’t just a “woman’s issue.” Up to 50% of cases originate with male factors, and yet too often the focus stops with her.

These deeper investigations, conducted under the guidance of a reproductive urologist, can:
- Accelerate answers: Identify hidden male factors early, sparing women from invasive testing and emotional strain
- Reduce costs: Eliminate unnecessary female testing or procedures by targeting treatment precisely where it’s needed
- Elevate success rates: Leverage high‐resolution data and gene-expression insights to guide more effective interventions
- Promote healthier offspring: Understand how environmental and lifestyle influences on sperm epigenetics can benefit future generations
