Male Experiences With Intra Cytoplasmic Sperm Injection (ICSI) and Reduced Sperm Quality
Recruiting now
Conditions studied: Psychological Experience in Fertility Treatment, Hypogonadism, Testosteron Levels, Quality of Life, Social Interaction, Infertile Males Comparied to Fertile Males
In brief
Several international studies indicate that men with reduced semen quality often feel overlooked in the context of fertility treatment. Men who undergo fertility treatment due to their own infertility, exhibit increased concern and experience more negative emotions such as loss, stigmatization, and low self-esteem - more so than men undergoing fertility treatment for other reasons. Since 2008, there has been limited research on the experiences of male patients with infertility in Denmark. Furthermore, there is generally very little knowledge regarding the testosterone levels (hypogonadism) of male infertile patients and its association with quality of life. Thus, there is a lack of updated insight into how infertile men experience their situation today. Additionally, the present study finds it relevant to examine whether men's needs and experiences in interactions with health professionals have changed over the past 15 years.
