In this episode of The Fertility Podcast, I’m joined by Dr Anand Patel, a GP and specialist in men’s health, for an honest and incredibly practical conversation about how male fertility is handled in general practice.
Anand shares the exact questions men should be prepared to ask their GP, why basic investigations are often missed, and how a simple examination could reveal more than you think.
If you or your partner are just starting to explore fertility testing, this is a must‑listen.
What we discuss in this episode:
- What to say (and bring up) during your GP appointment if you’re worried about fertility
- Why most GPs aren’t trained in fertility and what that means for patients
- How to advocate for yourself when you’re not sure what to ask
- The “ICE” model (Ideas, Concerns, Expectations) and how it helps patients get better care
- The critical role of basic examinations that are often skipped
- What conditions and warning signs GPs should be looking for
- Why GP training needs to change and how newer trainees may be more up to date
- Fertility MOTs, NHS limits, and when private care may make more sense
- The emotional impact of male factor diagnoses and how to create more compassionate conversations
- What a decent male fertility assessment should actually include
Special thanks to Examen, sponsor of this episode
Examen offers direct, cutting‑edge sperm DNA fragmentation testing (including both single and double‑strand DNA damage), used by 85% of fertility clinics across the UK and Ireland.
Tests are:
- Non‑invasive
- Available via clinics or partner hubs
- Designed to provide clarity, confidence and actionable insight
You don’t need a referral to get tested. Simply book online, drop off your sample and receive detailed results to discuss with your clinic.
