Dr Fong Yang is an accredited MOH IVF clinician, with 18 years of experience in O&G. He is one of the rare few IVF clinicians who treats both male and female infertility. Currently, he also performs Intra-Uterine Insemination (IUI) for women as part of their fertility treatment.
The analysis can help to identify specific semen problems, which can then be treated in different ways. Some problems will respond faster and better to treatment than others.
There are other aspects of male infertility, which may include:
i) erectile dysfunction/ difficulty
ii) premature ejaculation
iii) difficulty in maintaining erections / performance anxiety
iv) hereditary problems or genetic disorders (rare)
In this case, other solutions might be considered e.g. medication, surgery, assisted reproductive techniques, donor semen etc. Some of these would require co-management with another specialist, like a urologist
Sub-fertility can be due to either partner, and usually ladies will seek consultation with a gynaecologist first. At this juncture, the gynaecologist can order a simple semen test for the male partner, and if it turns out normal, we can then look for other factors that are affecting the chances of pregnancy.
Yes, we also have a couple fertility assessment package at $500. You can let us know when you’re making an appointment.
