Dr. Lina A. Evgeni speaks with Elli Spyropoulou on Alpha Radio 98.9, analyzing the critical importance of male fertility, the necessity for preventive screenings starting from early adulthood, and the advantages of the Greek institutional framework.

Greece’s demographic problem is not just a statistic; it is a complex challenge that demands awareness and, above all, a shift in culture. On the occasion of the upcoming event by the Hellenic Society of Reproductive Medicine in Ithaca, Dr. Lina A. Evgeni, Reproductive Biologist and Director of the Cryogonia Cryopreservation Bank, was invited by Elli Spyropoulou to Alpha Radio 98.9 to shed light on a topic frequently overlooked: male infertility.

Why does male infertility remain a taboo?

In public discourse regarding procreation, female fertility is often at the forefront. However, the male factor is equally decisive. Dr. Evgeni emphasizes that infertility is not a personal failure but a medical issue that requires public awareness.

Prevention starts early

One of the most critical points of the interview concerns timing: When should a man check his fertility?

Dr. Evgeni’s answer is clear: From early adulthood.

• Preventive Screening: A diagnosis at a young age can prevent future health complications.
• Sperm Cryopreservation: A move of responsible foresight that grants a man control over his future.
• The Age 40 Threshold: After 40, a man is considered a father of “advanced age,” with increased risks for the health of his offspring. Timely information is the best gift one can give to oneself.

The Greek framework as a guarantee of safety

Following international discussions regarding sperm donation—and particularly the issue concerning the “Danish donor” that recently came to light—Dr. Evgeni highlighted Greece’s strong institutional reflexes. Our strict registration framework and central registry are not only guarantees of safety but also the reason why our country has become an attraction pole for couples and single-parent families from all over the world.
