Yes. When a heterosexual couple faces fertility problems, both individuals need to have a fertility evaluation done. The reason behind this is that infertility may arise from causes that are either female, male, or a mix of both, indicating that it can be associated with both genders. By doing this, the specialist can provide a more thorough evaluation of the couple's circumstances, thus enabling them to recommend the most suitable treatment to assist in their pursuit of pregnancy.
