Healthy As A Mother

Male-Factor Infertility: From a Man's Perspective with Mike Gordon | #35


Listen Later

Male factor infertility is far more common than most people realize, yet it is rarely talked about openly.


In this episode, Dr. Leah sits down with her husband, Mike, to share an honest and vulnerable look into the male experience of infertility. This conversation offers a rare and important perspective on a topic that is often overlooked, even though male factor infertility contributes to nearly half of all infertility cases.


Mike shares what it was like to receive difficult news about his sperm health and how that moment shaped the next six years of their journey to conception. He opens up about the emotional toll, the loneliness many men experience, and the lack of support available for men navigating infertility.


We discuss what helped him along the way, what he wishes had been different, and the practical steps he would recommend for other men facing similar challenges. This episode also highlights how partners can better support each other through infertility and why addressing male fertility is essential for improving outcomes.


If you or your partner are navigating infertility, this conversation will leave you feeling less alone, more informed, and equipped with actionable insights to move forward with hope.
