STI Checks

Andrew explains the importance of getting an STI check for anyone seeking to conceive children or evaluating their fertility generally. Chlamydia, in particular, greatly increases the probability of miscarriage and can have damaging effects on male reproductive health. Additionally, a severe viral illness in the previous 70 to 90 days can greatly diminish the number and/or quality of sperm, so it's important to be aware of this when doing a sperm analysis.
