I've been interested in reproductive science for decades.
For many years, as a biologist, there's kind of a deficiency of information out there for men.
And one of the reasons why I'm vocal about this is to give men that safe space to be okay to talk about it.
I remember one time I was in a pub and I was talking to two guys.
They asked what you do and I told them.
And then his pal went to the bar and he just kind of looked around sheepishly and then
started to talk about his infertility and he's going through IVF and he's not producing quality sperm and how it's affecting him.
And I listened and let him talk.
But then he said, don't tell anyone.
Just don't tell anyone.
It's very lonely, yeah.
Often men suffer in silence with this.
It's something they keep to themselves.
Yeah, that is a problem.
So you wait until you're trying for a child before you have a reproductive health assessment or a fertility assessment is often the first time that a man becomes notified that his sperm quality is poor or there are some issues there.
One thing is with varicocele, it's a very common condition in infertile couples.
So I think it's over 40% of infertile men will have some grade of varicocele.
And varicocele is like varicose veins in the scrotum.
There's a network of blood vessels
in the scrotum that feed into the testes.
