Summary

Dr. Natalie Crawford discusses semen analysis and male fertility—what it is, who should get an analysis done, and what factors doctors look for in sperm analyses. There aren't many choices for people with sperm who have fertility issues, but it’s important to educate yourself to make the choice that is right for you. Natalie also discusses a Turkish study that indicates how blue light exposure from phones and tablets in childhood can increase production of the reproductive hormones, up the risk of early onset puberty, and even disrupt future fertility. Finally, Natalie answers your social media questions during her segment FFS—For Fertility’s Sake. Can polyps in the uterus affect fertility? How soon should we try to conceive after a chemical pregnancy? Are at-home sperm analysis kits accurate? Don't forget to ask your questions on Instagram for next week’s For Fertility’s Sake segment when you see the question box on Natalie’s page @nataliecrawfordmd.
