Male Fertility Testing
Male Testing

Infertility is caused by a problem in the male, for example, the inability to ejaculate or an insufficient number of sperm.  Infertility is not just a disease that affects women—men suffer as well. New studies show that in approximately 40 percent of infertility couples, the male partner is either the sole cause or a contributing cause of infertility.

While most fertility diagnostic tests are performed on female patients, there are a few studies that are needed to determine if there is male factor infertility. There are multiple factors to male fertility. We start with a simple semen analysis (SA). If the results are abnormal, additional testing, such as genetic and hormonal lab work and repeat semen analysis, may be ordered to identify the problem.

A referral to a local urologist for further evaluation, and/or treatment for male infertility may be necessary.
