Ep. 1 – The Male Role and Semen Analysis

This is the inaugural episode of Focus on Fertility. Focus on Fertility is aimed to assist those who may be experiencing difficulties conceiving naturally by providing answers and education by meeting with experts.  We’ll investigate a useful topic to better explain fertility, infertility, ways to cope, treatments, technology and much more each week.  In this inaugural episode of Focus on Fertility, Dr. Peter Ahlering of MCRM Fertility joins us to review male factor fertility potential, the largest diagnose associated with assisted reproductive technology (ART) per the most recent 2015 CDC National ART Summary Report.  He discusses the use of semen analysis to evaluate the male factor and the importance of DNA Fragmentation screening in order to assess properly the true qualitative potential of one’s sperm.
