What are 5 important things you may not know about fertility, and how is fertility assessed in Europe?

Fertility explained: ovulation timing, sperm health, age-related decline, hormonal balance, and medical evaluation criteria.

In this episode, we outline key fertility facts and how doctors assess reproductive health under EU medical guidance.

You’ll learn:

• How the fertile window works (ovulation occurs ~14 days before the next period)

• Why age affects both egg quantity and sperm quality

• The impact of lifestyle factors: BMI, smoking, alcohol, stress

• How conditions like PCOS or endometriosis influence fertility

• Why male factor infertility contributes to a significant percentage of cases

• When fertility testing is recommended (after 12 months of trying, or 6 months if over 35)

• Common investigations: hormone blood tests, semen analysis, ovulation tracking

• Situations where referral to a fertility specialist is appropriate

We explain how doctors assess menstrual regularity, ovulation patterns, medical history, medication use, thyroid function, and metabolic health during an online consultation in the EU. Early evaluation may be advised for irregular cycles, known reproductive conditions, or prior pelvic infection.

This episode reflects the clinical standards used by Mobi Doctor, where reproductive health consultations are reviewed by a registered physician in line with EU medical guidance.
