Mr Jonathan Ramsay

Mr Jonathan Ramsay FRCS(Eng) 1982 MS(London) 1986 FRCS(Urol) 1987 Jonathan Ramsay has developed a large practice in male fertility for over 30 years. Jonathan has been a Consultant Urologist at Hammersmith, Charing Cross and Chelsea & Westminster Hospitals since 1988. He works closely with the fertility units, both at Hammersmith and Chelsea, and he is also a visiting urologist to fertility clinics in Buckinghamshire, Sussex, and Central London. He has recently been awarded an Honorary Contract at Imperial College. Mr Ramsay's research interests and recent publications include the reasons for poor quality sperm and the relationship of semen analysis, DNA quality of sperm and evidence of inflammation in the genital tract, and the relevance of the microbiome to male and female fertility. We are particularly interested in trying to explain (and treat) unexplained infertility either to avoid IVF and ICSI or to make further cycle of treatments more successful. Current research is involved with in-depth assessment of surgically-retrieved sperm both in cases of non-obstructive and obstructive azoospermia and vasectomy reversal. We also looked again at the effect of varicocele repair and recent research (presented at AUA 2023) confirms the importance of varicocele treatment in selected patients.
