A NEW consultant has joined a team of fertility experts in Southampton dedicated to helping childless couples.

Consultant urologist Rowland Rees, pictured has a special interest in the investigation and management of male subfertility.

He joins the Complete Fertility Centre, based at the Princess Anne Hospital, to provide a specialist clinic for couples where there is a significant male fertility issue.

This clinic will focus on fully investigating men who have abnormal sperm counts and look for issues such as tubal blockages, hormonal problems or lifestyle factors.

Mr Rees said: “My objective is to raise the game in the management of male infertility to give men the best chance possible of having their own child.”
