Diagnostic Exams for Male Sterility

Worldwide, millions of men suffer from male infertility which is often misunderstood and stigmatized. These days it is fortunate that science has helped us to know more about a man’s reproductive system. Of all these procedures, tests are the most basic as they help to find out what could be causing infertility in males.

Semen Study: The Beginning of Diagnosis

Seminal fluid analysis is the core test for diagnosing male infertility since it looks into sperm count, morphology, and motility. By looking at parameters such as the number of sperms in one millilitre of semen, shape or size/morphology, and ability to move or swim (motility), doctors can tell whether a man is fertile or not.

Hormonal Evaluation: Interpreting Hormone Imbalance

An imbalance in hormones can affect sperm production and functionality and lead to low fertility levels among men. Such hormonal disorders are diagnosed through hormonal assays where they measure testosterone levels together with FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone), LH (luteinizing hormone) as well as prolactin to detect any underlying endocrine problems that may cause barrenness.

Genetic Examination: Investigating Genetic Territory

Abnormalities within genes responsible for creating sperm cells have been found to make conception impossible for couples. So karyotyping, which involves checking chromosomes or Y-chromosome microdeletion analysis should be done during genetic examination because it helps identify mutations related to these genes besides chromosomal abnormalities known affectations on fertility may occur. 

Scanning Techniques: Looking Inside Accurately

A scrotal ultrasound scan is an example under the imaging studies category. This method provides detailed information about the organs of a man’s pelvic region. Dr Shivani Sachdev Gour from SCI IVF Hospital may use it to see whether there are any varicoceles (swollen veins around the testes) or if there is blockage along the vas deferens which could hinder sperm production as well as the transportation process.

Conclusion

The truth remains that diagnosis always has been and will continue to be a key element in our attempt to understand more about sterility among men. Diagnostic methods employed by SCI IVF Hospital, the leading male infertility clinics in Delhi NCR, in testing male infertility serve as the foundation for comprehending and handling reproductive issues. Through these tests, which are also available at affordable infertility treatment cost in Delhi; doctors can easily identify what causes the inability of men to father children. Based on the findings, they may come up with treatments tailored based on individual needs.
