Rhod Gilbert has launched the HIMfertility campaign, encouraging men to talk about fertility problems and 'signpost them and their partners to much-needed support', after statistics show it affects around one in seven couples in the UK.
The Welsh comedian, who's also filmed his own journey exploring infertility and meeting other men experiencing similar difficulties as part of a 2020 BBC documentary, believes society sees infertility as more of a 'female issue', and commented 'I started the HIMfertility campaign after my wife and I had issues trying to conceive. The experiences we had while exploring fertility issues showed me just how little support and understanding there is around male infertility'.
