It’s something rarely spoken of and one of society’s longstanding taboos – men who struggle with infertility. Studies show that in over 40 percent of couples attending fertility clinics in South Africa, male infertility lies at the heart of the problem. Abnormal sperm production as a result of medical conditions that can often be reversed – like obesity or drug use – have led experts to agree that with the right intervention, male infertility can be treated. So why are some men so reluctant to seek help?

Fertility Show Africa (FSA) debuted on the African continent in 2020 and has already made a huge impact. Not only did it draw capacity crowds, it also featured some of the world’s leading fertility experts and companies and caught the attention of Carte Blanche who filmed at the show with an insert on male infertility.

The insert featured our expert speakers and exhibitors, Dr Thato Maoto Femicare Fertility, Prof. Thinus Kruger of Aevitas Fertility Clinic and Saskia Williams, CEO of the Infertility Awareness Association of South Africa.
