Diagnosis of Male Infertility

Symptoms Of Male infertility

You may have male infertility if your female partner has not become pregnant after you have tried for 1 year. This means 1 year of regular sex without any birth control.
Your healthcare provider will test both you and your partner to find the cause of infertility.

Review your health history and do a physical exam
Sperm count (semen analysis) of how much semen you make, how uniform it is, and how acidic it is. Also how many sperm you make, how well they move, and what shape they are.
Blood tests. Your provider may use blood tests to check hormone levels and rule out other problems.
Ultrasound may be used to look at your testicles, blood vessels, and structures inside the scrotum.
Testicular biopsy. If semen analysis shows that you have only a few sperm or no sperm, your provider may remove a small piece of tissue (biopsy) from each testicle. The sample will be checked under a microscope.
Post-ejaculation urinalysis is used to rule out retrograde ejaculation
