Male Fertility3 Feb 2022

What is Andrology?

What is Andrology? My episode today takes another look at male infertility.

Dr. Sheryl Homa is why she set up Andrology Solutions and the tests she offers men faced with an infertility diagnosis.

We discuss why she believes Andrology is often overlooked when couples are struggling to conceive. It doesn't make sense when it provides such insight into male fertility.

Intervention can ultimately help with fertility treatment.

Her clinic Andrology Solutions whilst situated in London attracts people from all over the world and offers a range of tests.

One of which is only available at Andrology Solutions tests Oxidative stress levels in semen. Sheryl explains more about in our chat and what Men can be done to help improve their sperm health.

Sheryl Homa works with Urologists such as Jonathan Ramsay who I spoke to in a previous episode and you can listen to here

I also spoke with James Docherty who has created the Scantily Dad blog which considering he only started in March (2017) has a tonne of content available sharing his infertility journey as well as lots of fab pictures of his gorgeous family.

From how to improve your diet and fitness, to dealing with the fertility treatment every step of the way, James has literally brain-dumped his personal journey for you and personally, I think he's done an awesome job. James has the opportunity as well for you to contribute so if you feel happy to share your journey however doesn't want to go about setting up a blog, he is sharing his platform so do get in touch. You can email james.doherty@scantilydad.com
