Reece Conca - Tackling Male Infertility

Об эпизоде

<p>All too often when talking about infertility, we only tell one side of the story. Traditionally in the public discourse, it has very much fallen into the category of a &lsquo;women&rsquo;s issue&rsquo;. However, as our guest this week Reece Conca can all too painfully attest, 40% of infertility issues are actually male factor related.</p> <p>Reece Conca is a former Australian Rules Footballer, who played over 150 games for Richmond and Freemantle.</p> <p>When Reece and his partner Bell were finding it difficult to conceive, it took them far too long to discover that Reece has a condition called Azoospermia, which effects 1% of men - a condition where in Reece had no sperm in his semen.</p> <p>In this Vulnerabiltea House, Reece speaks openly and honestly about the physical and emotional toll of a fertility journey he is very much still on, the hormone injections, the surgeries and much, much more.&nbsp;</p> <p>To follow Annabelle and Reece on TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@annabelleandreece?_t=8mHqcVotkx7&amp;amp;_r=1">https://www.tiktok.com/@annabelleandreece</a></p><p>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.</p>
