In this Q&A episode Dr. Carrie Bedient from the Fertility Center of Las Vegas, Dr. Abby Eblen from Nashville Fertility Center, and Dr. Susan Hudson from Texas Fertility Center tackle male factor infertility—an often overlooked but critical part of the fertility equation. They break down the role of sperm morphology in fertilization and explain how it’s assessed and why, even with IVF, poor morphology can make a difference. The discussion also covers what happens when there’s no sperm motility and how testing and treatments, like the use of pentoxyphylline, can help. The docs explore the influence of varicocele, a common condition, and how it can impact sperm health and fertility outcomes. Plus, they dig into how female age and conditions like endometriosis can further complicate fertilization and pregnancy. Whether you’re just starting your fertility journey or deep into treatment, this episode is full of practical insights and clarity on a topic that deserves more attention.
