Dr Zelkowitz quoted in Time Magazine article
Infertility is almost always thought of as a woman’s issue, and it’s true that women bear the greater burden of it. And yet up to 50% of cases in which couples can’t have babies are due in some way to men. More men are talking about it now, but it remains stigmatized, especially in the U.S. Men are largely absent from public conversation around infertility, and even those who have looked for support hesitate to identify as someone struggling with male infertility.
