Male infertility: causes, symptoms and treatment

When a couple’s wish to have children goes unfulfilled, attention often turns first to the woman.

Andropause at Work: Why Men’s Health Should Be a Priority for Employers 

Irritability, lack of focus and persistent fatigue are often dismissed in men over 45 as natural signs of ageing or job-related stress.

Known as andropause, this gradual shift affects a growing number of working men, but remains largely absent from workplace health discussions. For organisations committed to prevention and long-term performance, it’s time to take a closer look. Men’s health in the workplace is no longer a niche issue – it’s a matter of productivity, resilience and leadership responsibility.
