Why Do French Men Go 20 to 30 Years Without Any Genital Examination? – Cesar Fertility

“Why do French men go 20 to 30 years without any genital examination?
This is the question that Dr. Sabine Roux, urological surgeon at the Cochin – Port-Royal Hospital, asks, bluntly, in the article we are publishing today.
Her observation is clear: she sees more and more adult men arriving in her department with cryptorchidism, an undescended testicle, discovered during an infertility check-up. At 30 years old. At 35 years old. Sometimes later.
A pathology that should have been treated before 18 months.
The price of this silence?
- 1 in 4 men with unilateral cryptorchidism has no spermatozoa in his ejaculate
- 1 in 2 in bilateral
- forms A risk of testicular cancer multiplied by 5 to 10 — the first cancer in young
- men +36% of orchidopexies in France between 2002 and 2014, with geographical clusters pointing to the role of endocrine disruptorsAnd in the meantime? Nothing.
No routine check-up. Not a word about testicular self-examination at school, college, or at the GP. Where every woman learns from adolescence to examine her breasts, men go through their lives without ever having heard that a monthly 30-second gesture could save their fertility, or even their lives.
The result can be seen at CESAR Fertility: 74% of the men we interview have never had a spermiogram. 62% are unaware that their fertility depends directly on their lifestyle over the last 90 days.
Male reproductive health is not a blind spot. It’s a lack of knowledge.
It’s time for that to change.

“A preventable cause of male infertility, an obvious lack of information!.”
