At EmbryoWish, we offer not only the tests but also specialized invasive and non-invasive examinations to diagnose and treat male infertility. Through our services, including online consultations, we aim to provide personalized and effective solutions tailored to each individual’s needs.
Sperm Analysis
Sperm analysis, also known as spermogram, is the fundamental test for the male fertility investigation and should be conducted before initiating any fertility treatment.
A simple spermogram evaluates the following parameters:
- Sperm volume
- Density
- pH
- Total sperm count
- Morphology
- Motility
- Adhesions
A normal spermogram indicates that the testicular function and hormonal balance of the man are in normal ranges. It is a crucial test for understanding male reproductive health and diagnosing trouble with conception.
Sperm DNA Fragmentation
Another essential examination in the male fertility investigation is the sperm DNA fragmentation test.
A high level of DNA fragmentation is a significant male infertility factor and is linked to:
- Increased risk of miscarriages
- Implantation failures
This test determines the percentage of sperm with fragmented DNA, providing critical information about the quality of genetic material, which can directly impact the chances of successful conception.
Oxidative Stress & Antisperm Antibodies
Additional tests can assess:
- Oxidative stress
- Presence of antisperm antibodies
These factors can influence male fertility, although they are less critical compared to sperm count and DNA fragmentation. However, they are often included in a thorough immunological testing to provide a comprehensive evaluation of male reproductive health.
