Understanding male fertility: What a semen analysis can tell you

Fertility conversations tend to focus on women, yet a male factor is involved in around 50% of infertility cases. For National Fertility Awareness Week, Malebox Health is running a session on male fertility, open to anyone curious about their sperm health and reproductive health, whether you're actively trying to conceive, thinking ahead, or simply want to understand your body better.

We'll start with the basics: what's actually happening in the body, and the everyday, well-evidenced factors known to affect sperm health. From there, we'll walk through what a semen analysis measures, including volume, sperm count, motility and shape, and what those results can and cannot tell you about your fertility on their own. We'll also cover how an at-home test works in practice, from kit to lab to consultation, so you understand the full process, not just the science behind it. The session closes with an anonymous Q&A, a private space to ask fertility questions you might not otherwise raise, without stigma or awkwardness.

Whether you're actively trying to conceive, thinking ahead, or simply curious about your sperm health and reproductive health, this webinar is for you.
