Breaking Stigmas: Fertiliti Collaborates with Kapteyn Counselling to Transform Male Fertility Treatment

Toronto, Canada — October 1st, 2023

Fertiliti, a leading platform focused on male fertility, recently conducted a revealing survey among men grappling with fertility challenges, specifically azoospermia. The survey uncovered stark realities, with 78.5% of participants confessing to enduring mental challenges without seeking any support. The societal stigma surrounding male fertility issues, especially in Asian and Middle Eastern regions, was notably more pronounced compared to the West.

This stigma and lack of open conversation have resulted in distressing consequences, including increased divorce rates, men adopting unhealthy coping mechanisms such as extra-marital affairs, and even contemplating suicide. Unfortunately, these struggles often lead to poor treatment success rates in fertility treatments.

Acknowledging this profound impact on treatment outcomes, Fertiliti is dedicated to elevating treatment success rates for men in a holistic manner. Mental health is a crucial factor influencing treatment efficacy. Thus, Fertiliti has partnered with Lorra Kapteyn, a respected figure from Kapteyn Counselling, who has personally navigated challenges in the male fertility domain.

Lorra Kapteyn, with her significant experience and understanding of male fertility struggles, joins Fertiliti on a mission to provide crucial mental health support to men worldwide on their fertility journeys. Her involvement is expected to significantly contribute to improving treatment success rates, and Fertiliti is privileged to collaborate with her.
