Our understanding of heart disease is largely based on a Caucasian male model. Recent data has shown us that symptoms of heart attack in women are incredibly different from the “elephant on your chest, radiating to the left arm” standard we expect, and women are continuously under-diagnosed with heart disease due to atypical presentation.
Is it the subconscious implication that infertility is ultimately a female problem? That men are less emotionally affected by a diagnosis of infertility? That men are less often physically affected by it with invasive treatments required? The few resources that made any reference to the phenomenon seem to think that this is at least the origin and came to similar conclusions: we need male solutions to male factor infertility. Before moving on to female treatment options, all men should have a comprehensive urological evaluation, starting with a standard, non-evasive semen analysis, to try to address and hopefully resolve male factor infertility.
