In one third of couple infertility cases, male infertility is the only issue. One third are primarily female and one third are combined male and female. Thus, when a couple is having trouble conceiving, it makes sense not only to evaluate the woman but to evaluate the man as well, early in the process.

To discover the underlying issue, when male infertility might be involved, a semen analysis is critical. A semen analysis can easily detect multiple issues and help identify treatment options. The issues or problems detected by semen analysis are:

  • Azoospermia: Absence of sperm in the semen fluid. No sperm are being produced, or there is a block and sperm are not appearing in the semen.
  • Oligospermia: Low sperm count (sperm density).
  • Asthenospermia: Low motility. If sperm aren’t moving normally, they are less likely get to the egg in the right place (the fallopian tube) at the right time (ovulation).
  • Teratospermia: Problems with the form and structure (morphology) of the sperm that may cause infertility. By virtue of the association with egg penetration ability of the sperm, bad shaped sperm does not increase the risk of abnormal baby
  • Varicocele: Enlarged (varicose) veins of the testicles are associated with increased testicular temperature, which is thought to be the cause of its negative effects on sperm quantity, quality, or both.

Although, these conditions may be the direct reason that you can’t conceive, they themselves may be caused by an underlying medical condition that can only be diagnosed and treated by a specialist.
