Manage episode 432938107 series 3523331
This week, Shaun and Ciaran are joined by Professor Allan Pacey MBE to talk all things male fertility. What Allan doesn't know in this field isn't worth knowing!
Allan is the Professor of Andrology at the University of Manchester as well as Deputy Vice President and Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Biology. For 17 years he was the Head of Andrology for Sheffield Teaching Hospitals where he ran the Andrology Laboratory and Sperm Bank. As an academic he has published over 250 research papers, book chapters and review articles.
In 2016 he received an MBE from Queen Elizabeth II for services to Reproductive Medicine. In 2023 he was the 38th recipient of Honorary Membership of the British Fertility Society.
This episode is jam packed with great information and advice.
Allan explores many topics, such as the changes he has witnessed in the industry in terms of male fertility, and how these changes are a positive for men - as both the patient and the partner.
We discuss home sperm testing kits - which Allan thinks are an amazing way to be able to get an idea of where you are at in terms of sperm health.
Allan talks about lifestyle, and the changes that you can make - including what can be harmful for sperm quality, as well as what can potentially improve it too.
Allan shares what the future looks like for the fertility industry, as well as sex education for the younger generation.
We also touch upon how cancer can affect your fertility - even from a young age, and we get Allan’s view on the term 'Spermageddon' which has been doing the rounds a lot lately!
