Key Tests to Evaluate Male Fertility
At Reprotec, we offer essential tests to thoroughly assess male fertility. Our specialized services include semen analysis, sperm capacitation, sperm culture, sperm DNA fragmentation, and cytogenetics — all crucial for achieving an accurate diagnosis and guiding the most appropriate treatment.
What is a semen analysis?
Semen analysis is the primary test to evaluate male fertility. Through this test, important parameters are determined, such as:
Sperm concentration.
Semen volume.
Sperm motility.
Sperm morphology.
These parameters help identify potential alterations that may hinder conception and define the need for additional tests, while also guiding the design of the ideal fertility treatment for each case.
Sperm capacitation:
Capacitación espermática:
Preparation of semen for techniques such as intrauterine insemination (IUI).
Sperm culture:
analysis to detect infections in semen.
Sperm DNA fragmentation:
genetic study that evaluates the integrity of sperm DNA, useful in different scenarios of reproductive failure.
The information obtained from these tests is essential for a comprehensive diagnosis and a more accurate treatment plan.
