Diagnosis of male infertility

The Institute of Reproductive Medicine DAHNO offers its services for the diagnosis of infertility in men.

Factors that may impair on male fertility:
– congenital or acquired pathologies of the genitourinary system;
– malignant tumors;
– urogenital infections

What test does a man need to undergo?

The main test that starts the study in men is the spermogram.
Specialists of the embryological laboratory evaluate the quantity of ejaculate and its quality: the structure of sperm, their motility.
Men`s test may also include:
– MAR test;
– assessment of hormonal background;
– infectious screening;
– genetic research.

Is it enough to do a spermogram once?

To obtain reliable information, it is necessary to analyze the spermogram twice or even three times. Detection of persistent changes is a prerequisite for referring the patient to a deeper diagnosis and treatment. If there is a risk of progress to deterioration in sperm quality, the patient is advised to cryopreserve their biological material as soon as possible.
