Spermogram

Basic male fertility testing is a spermogram (semen analysis). For a semen analysis it is necessary to bring or hand in the ejaculate directly at our Centre. Semen analysis is carried out according to the 2010 WHO Guidelines.

Before a semen analysis sexual abstinence is advised during the previous 3 days.

A male comprehensive examination includes also an examination of man’s hormonal profile, test for sexually transmitted infections and assessment of erectile ability.

POSSIBLE RESULTS OF SEMEN ANALYSIS:

  • Normozoospermia: the ejaculate of normal parameters
  • Asthenozoospermia: deviations in sperm motility
  • Oligozoospermia: low count of sperm
  • Teratozoospermia: higher risk of morphologically altered sperm
  • Leucocytozoospermia: leucocytes are present in the ejaculate
  • Hematozoospermia: erythrocytes are present in the ejaculate
  • Necrozoospermia: only dead sperm are present in the ejaculate
