Women do everything they can to optimize their fertility, why don't Men?

 I have a female patient that has been doing everything she can to ensure she is optimizing her fertility, supplements, exercising, dietary changes, regular acupuncture treatments, taking herbal medicine.  She has endometriosis & pcos.  She has now just finished 2 cycles with clomid, no luck so far.  Well, now what, of course, the fertility clinic says 'it is time for IVF'.  Well, I have another idea, and it corresponds with what everyone I know that works intimately with fertility thinks, let's treat the other major variable in this infertility scenario, THE MAN.  The husband of this woman has never been tested, has done nothing to his diet, does not exercise, is extremely overworked, does not take any supplements, and most certainly does not do acupuncture or herbal medicine.  Wouldn't it make sense, ESPECIALLY when the woman is displaying fertility issues, to optimize his sperm health, EVEN IF AN ANALYSIS SAYS IT IS OK?

Pregnancy stats, as well as creating healthy families could be drastically increased if it became standardized thought that the men require treatment as well.  Doctors most often tell men things are ok even if an analysis says different, probably because there is no treatment in the western modern bio-medical realm, besides ICSI (which actually is not 'treatment' at all).  

I am extremely excited  as this is obviously a field I am passionate about, and if I can be a part of a paradigm shift in the management of male factor infertility, I will feel fulfilled as the treatment of infertility as a whole will improve drastically.  

To the all the men out there that this seems to apply to, consider that just the support that your wife will feel with your participation most certainly will have ripple effects in your relationship that are destined to play a huge role in a happy wife, and a healthy family.
