Specialist Care for Men
Facing Fertility Challenges
Infertility can be emotionally and physically challenging for couples trying to conceive. In many cases, fertility issues are linked to both male and female factors. At MansMatters, we specialise in optimising male health to support fertility outcomes and work in clinical partnership with IVF Matters to ensure both partners receive comprehensive care.
Understanding the Male Role in Fertility
Male infertility is more common than many realise, contributing to nearly half of all fertility challenges. A range of physical, hormonal and lifestyle factors can affect sperm production and sexual function, reducing the chances of conception. These may include:
- Hormonal imbalance or low testosterone
- Poor sperm quality, count, or motility
- Erectile dysfunction or ejaculation difficulties
- Stress, anxiety, or performance-related issues
- Long-term effects of prostate or testicular surgery
By identifying and addressing these underlying issues, men can play an active role in improving fertility potential and supporting successful conception.
MansMatters’ Role in Fertility Support
At MansMatters, we focus on the aspects of men’s health that directly influence fertility, helping to enhance natural conception and improve outcomes from fertility treatments such as IVF or ICSI.
- Focused Shockwave Therapy: Improves blood flow and penile vascular health to support stronger erections and effective sperm delivery.
- EMTT (Extracorporeal Magneto Transduction Therapy): Encourages tissue regeneration and cellular function, improving overall pelvic health.
- Tesla Chair Therapy: Strengthens the pelvic floor, aiding ejaculatory control and sperm transport.
- NESA X-Signal Therapy: Balances the autonomic nervous system, helping reduce anxiety and improve sperm quality.
- Lifestyle and nutritional guidance: Supports hormone regulation, energy levels and sperm production.
This integrated approach allows our professionals to address the male factors that often impact fertility while improving overall sexual wellbeing and performance.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
When should couples seek help for infertility?
If conception has not occurred after 12 months of regular, unprotected intercourse, or six months if the man is over 35, it’s recommended to seek professional evaluation. Early assessment can identify issues and start appropriate treatment sooner.
What causes male infertility?
Male infertility can result from low testosterone, poor sperm quality, structural issues, or lifestyle factors such as stress and smoking. A professional assessment can identify the cause and guide effective treatment.
Can erectile dysfunction affect fertility?
Yes. Erectile dysfunction can make it more difficult to achieve or maintain an erection for intercourse, which may affect natural conception. Treating the underlying cause often improves both performance and fertility potential.
Can infertility be linked to low testosterone?
Does age affect male fertility?
Yes. Although men can produce sperm throughout life, sperm quality and motility tend to decline with age, which can make conception more difficult.
Can stress make infertility worse?
Chronic stress can disrupt hormone levels and impact both sexual performance and sperm production. Managing stress is therefore an important part of any fertility treatment plan.
What tests are available for male infertility?
Male fertility testing can include hormone analysis, semen testing, ultrasound and general health assessments. These tests help determine whether physical, hormonal, or functional factors are contributing to infertility.
Can infertility in men be treated without surgery?
Yes. Most male infertility cases can be managed using non-surgical approaches such as hormone therapy, lifestyle changes and advanced technologies like Focused Shockwave Therapy or EMTT.
Can lifestyle changes improve fertility in men?
Yes. Maintaining a balanced diet, managing stress and reducing alcohol or tobacco use can help improve sperm health and hormone balance.
How long does infertility treatment take to show results?
The timeline varies depending on the cause of infertility and the type of treatment used. Many men notice improvements in sperm health or sexual function within a few months of consistent therapy.
