What Does the Male Infertility Assessment Include?
The Infertility Assessment Test for males at Maitri Fertility involves a thorough evaluation of sperm health, hormones, and lifestyle factors. Here's a breakdown of the key tests included in the assessment:
1. Reviewing Medical, Surgical, and Sexual History
The process begins with a detailed consultation where Dr. Monika Rajput will review your medical, surgical, and sexual history to understand potential causes of infertility. This includes:
Medical history: Past illnesses, surgeries, or conditions that might impact fertility (e.g., varicocele, testicular surgery, infections).
Sexual history: Any issues like erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation, or pain during intercourse that could contribute to infertility.
Lifestyle factors: Diet, exercise, alcohol, smoking, and exposure to toxins or chemicals, which can impact sperm health.
2. Semen Analysis
Semen analysis is a fundamental part of the infertility assessment. This test evaluates:
Sperm count: The number of sperm in a sample, as low sperm count is a common cause of infertility.
Sperm motility: The ability of sperm to move effectively towards the egg for fertilization.
Sperm morphology: The shape and size of sperm, as abnormal sperm morphology can impact fertility.
Volume, pH, and viscosity of semen: These factors can influence sperm function and the likelihood of conception.
3. Hormonal Evaluation (FSH, LH, Testosterone, Prolactin)
Hormonal imbalances can affect sperm production and overall fertility. We conduct blood tests to assess key hormones, including:
FSH (Follicle-Stimulating Hormone): This hormone regulates sperm production, and elevated levels may indicate problems with the testes.
LH (Luteinizing Hormone): LH plays a role in testosterone production. Abnormal levels can indicate underlying hormonal issues.
Testosterone: The primary male sex hormone, low testosterone can impact sperm production and overall fertility.
Prolactin: Elevated levels of prolactin can interfere with the balance of other hormones and affect sperm quality.
4. Scrotal Ultrasound
A scrotal ultrasound is performed to check for physical conditions that could impact male fertility, such as:
Varicocele: A swelling of the veins in the scrotum that can reduce sperm quality.
Testicular size and shape: Abnormalities in the testicles that might affect sperm production.
Cysts or masses: Any growths that could interfere with sperm production.
5. Genetic Testing
In some cases, genetic factors may contribute to male infertility. If indicated, we may suggest genetic tests, including:
Karyotyping: A test to check for chromosomal abnormalities.
Y-chromosome microdeletions: These are genetic defects that affect sperm production. Genetic testing helps identify potential hereditary factors affecting fertility, which can guide treatment options.
6. Post-Ejaculation Urine Test (for Retrograde Ejaculation)
In cases where there may be issues with ejaculation, a post-ejaculation urine test is used to detect the presence of sperm in the urine, which could indicate retrograde ejaculation. This condition occurs when sperm enters the bladder instead of being expelled during ejaculation.
Why is Male Infertility Assessment Important?
Understanding the root causes of male infertility is crucial for couples seeking to conceive. A thorough male infertility assessment helps:
Identify fertility barriers: Determine if issues like low sperm count, poor motility, or hormonal imbalances are affecting conception.
Guide treatment options: Based on the assessment results, we recommend tailored fertility treatments such as IVF, ICSI, or hormonal therapy to improve the chances of conception.
Provide insights into lifestyle changes: The assessment can identify factors like diet, exercise, or substance use that may be contributing to infertility, enabling you to make healthier choices.
Assess genetic factors: Genetic tests may reveal hereditary issues that impact fertility, ensuring that couples are fully informed before proceeding with treatment.
