A Cambridge expert claimed that the medical field has
failed in curing male infertility. Matters relating to female infertility are
usually widely discussed; however, male infertility still finds little space.
Many men often end up getting the wrong treatment. This has been published in Dr.
Liberty Barnes’s book, who is a member of Cambridge sociology department.
Her claims are a result of a detailed research carried
out in the United States of America by interviewing numerous couples and
doctors. She further stated that even after the share of male infertility being
around 50% of the overall infertility cases, larger part of the attention has
been sighted toward female infertility. This has resulted in less effective
treatment methods to cure male infertility.
Dr Barnes said: “This is the standard coping mechanism in
men – that their ‘messed-up plumbing’ is not their fault and is in most cases
repairable.
“Male infertility is as prevalent as female infertility,
but it’s invisible in our society.
“While female infertility support groups, blogs, news and
literature abound, male infertility is hidden from public view.”
Dr. Barnes book provides us detailed information on the
issues related to male infertility. However, male infertility awareness is rising
slowly and steadily and male infertility market is garnering importance
worldwide. There are not many researches that would provide significant
insights into the male infertility market. However, there was a recent report
published by Allied Market Research, which forecasts the global male infertility market to reach an exponential figure $301.5 million by 2020. We could see an effective
treatment for this issue in future.
