    The male voice in fertility care with Andrew Coutts - E41

    For too long, men in the fertility process have been treated as "accepted bystanders", present for the appointments, but often excluded from the care. In this episode, we sit down with PhD researcher and industry expert Andrew Coutts to discuss the findings of his groundbreaking study into the male experience. We move past the surface-level conversations to look at how men can transition from passive patients to empowered consumers of their own healthcare. In this episode, we dive into: The "Patient vs. Consumer" Shift: Why viewing yourself as a "consumer" in the private sector can actually give you more control, better access to information, and a stronger voice in the consulting room. Peer Support as Clinical Power: How men are using external communities to gather the "intel" they need to challenge transactional medical relationships and advocate for better diagnostics. Challenging the "Reproductively Complex" Label: Why the narrative that "men are simple, women are complex" is scientifically outdated and psychologically damaging to the male experience. The Hidden Impact of the Clinic Environment: A frank discussion on how the physical space of a clinic—and the lack of male-centered design—affects a man's engagement and emotional well-being. The Global Fertility Market: The logistical and ethical realities of seeking treatment abroad, and why many patients are now choosing international clinics as a primary option. Workplace Advocacy: How to navigate the rise in employer-funded fertility benefits and ensure you are getting the most out of the support available to you.

    Why do men join fertility support groups? It’s probably not for the reason you think. Andrew Coutts' research reveals that while many assume these groups are for emotional venting, the vast majority of men are actually there for information. They use these groups to "arm themselves" with facts and peer experiences so they can walk into their next clinic appointment as informed advocates. Knowledge is the best tool you have in your fertility toolkit. Check out the full episode out on the 13/05/26

    The male voice in fertility care with Andrew Coutts - Teaser 1

    Andrew Coutts explains why the rise of the "fertility consumer" is the best thing to happen to male fertility care in years. When men realise they are purchasers of a service, the clinics have no choice but to respond and improve. His research highlights how men are moving away from being "passive passengers" in the clinic and instead using their position as consumers to demand better standards, clearer information, and more personalised care.
