The Rise of men or equity in sex-linked health awareness?<\/h2>\n

\"Head<\/p>\n

Since young\u202fmen do not usually consult a urologist<\/strong>, when it comes to fertility, it is always up to the woman to consult her gynecologist. In the absence of his urologist, it is her gynecologist to ask for a semen analysis. We all agree that the gynecologists are not competent to diagnose a varicocele, a prostate cancer, an epididymitis, or a testicular tumour. Despite the fact that these pathologies are only some of the many that may affect or even be the cause of a \u201cweak\u201d semen, the gynecologists use the\u202fW.H.O<\/a>\u2019s reference values to decide whether to advise for intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in-vitro fertilization (IVF). As a result, \u201csubfertile\u201d men remain misdiagnosed, untreated, and therefore, their health condition worsens.<\/p>\n

We all understand that the semen liquid provides us with information about the functionality of the prostate and the other accessory glands. It is therefore obvious that a\u202fsemen analysis could become a checkup test for men\u2019s health<\/strong>\u202fi.e., by far more than just a fertility test.<\/p>\n

It should be taken into consideration that pathological conditions of the male genital tract are rarely present with symptoms, and since men do not usually consult a urologist before their fifties, when chronic conditions lead to prostatectomy rather than to treatment,\u202fthe preventive checkup of men already by adolescence becomes mandatory<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It is very important to promote men\u2019s awareness on their genital tract health. Such an initiative will raise the\u202fneed for specialized Spermatology laboratories<\/strong>\u202fto assess the health condition of the male genital tract.<\/p>\n

The Assisted Reproduction attracted many biologists, actually too many, who are now struggling to be employed in an IVF clinic. Fortunately, since they do know how to perform a semen analysis, they could manage a Spermatology laboratory themselves or in collaboration with other biologists. In order to make this idea successful, we thought about\u202fgathering together in national Associations of Spermatology<\/strong>, in order to make the biologists\u2019 professional rights to be recognized, set regulations of good practice, support quality control between specialized laboratories, and promote the preventive checkup of men worldwide.<\/p>\n

Hoping many biologists are interested in setting-up their own Spermatology Laboratory or\/and founding a national Association of Spermatology in their own country, the\u202fHellenic Association of Spermatology<\/strong>\u202f(HAS) invites them to get in contact at\u202fhas@spermatology.org<\/a>. We will provide you with the Constitution, Regulations and documentation and information useful to attain your goal. HAS is a non-profit association and any overmentioned information is offered free of charge.<\/p>\n
