Fertility Test for Men

In the case of the male there is also a decline in fertility with age, however not as marked as in women.

We suggest the study in cases of:

History of undescended testicles at birth.
History of mumps, particularly when complicated by “swelling” of the testicles (orchitis)
History of sexual dysfunction (impotence, premature ejaculation, retrograde ejaculation)
Exposure to previous partner (frequent sexual intercourse without protection) and pregnancy did not occur
History of genital infections, especially sexually transmitted diseases.
History of chemotherapy or radiotherapy for cancer
Suspicion of being infertile

The assessment of fertility in men involves the analysis of one or two samples of the semen under the microscope.

To perform a semen analysis you should:

Abstain from sexual intercourse or masturbation for a period of 3 to 5 days.
Program your appointment
Collect the sample by masturbation into a sterile container (provided by the clinic).
If the sample is collected at home, you should not take more than 1 hour to bring it to the clinic, keeping the container at a warm temperature (you can put it in your pants pocket, shirt or jacket).

The Fertility Test in men consists in:

1. Interview with the specialist

You will have an interview with a reproductive medicine specialist, who will make you some questions to assess potential causes of infertility.

2. Sperm Analysis *

2 complete sperm analysis will be made with 1 month apart for a sperm count, morphology and mobility assessment.

3. Result Analysis

After having the results of the analysis, we will schedule a second appointment in which the specialist will explain you:

Your fertility potential
General recommendations
How to preserve your fertility for the future
Treatment options if applicable
