Analyzing a man's fertility is an important step in determining reproductive capacity and understanding the factors that may affect a man's fertility and reproductive health. Whether you are planning to start a family or are having difficulty conceiving, fertility tests are one of the most important medical tests for a man to assess the health aspects related to sperm count, the quality of sperm shape and movement, the level of male hormones and genetic factors that affect fertility. Thus you can make informed decisions about potential treatment options.
Fal Medical Laboratories offers men's fertility screening services with the latest technology under the supervision of experienced specialists to make your dream of having children come true.
Male fertility analysis details
Fertility tests include checking hormones for men through several different tests:
Vesicular Stimulating Hormone (FSH) Analysis:
Assess testicular function and identify possible causes of fertility problems, as FSH stimulates sertoli cells in the testicle to produce sperm and support sperm maturation.
FSH analysis can be an indicator of testicular function and determine a man's sperm productivity. Increased FSH levels indicate a disorder in fertile function, such as a low sperm count or poor sperm quality. On the other hand, low FSH levels may be an indication of normal testicular function.
It is usually performed in conjunction with other tests such as LH analysis, sperm analysis, and testosterone analysis.
Luteinizing Hormone (LH) Analysis:
Understand the function of the gonads and identify any hormonal imbalances.
In the case of men, a high LH level may be an indication of fertility disorders, such as a lack of sperm production or decreased sperm quality. On the other hand, a low LH level may indicate testicular disorders as well, such as seminal immaturity
It is usually performed in conjunction with other tests such as FSH, sperm analysis and testosterone analysis.
Semen analysis:
Assess the number and concentration of sperm as their low indicates fertility problems, analyze the movement to see if they are adequately swimming towards the egg, examine the shape to detect any abnormalities that affect fertilization ability, and detect the presence of other non-sperm cells such as inflammatory cells and immature sperm cells.
Total Testosterone Analysis:
Provide a comprehensive view of a man's overall health, provide accurate information on hormonal status and diagnose the causes of infertility, as testosterone is the main male hormone that plays a crucial role in sperm production and overall testicular health.
Free Testosterone Analysis:
Diagnosing the causes of erectile dysfunction in men or low sex drive.
Milk hormone (prolactin) analysis:
Measuring the percentage of prolactin in the blood, as a high percentage of milk hormone for men is an indicator of low testosterone, which affects sperm production and libido.
.
Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) analysis:
Male fertility assessment. This analysis provides a closer look at thyroid function, helping to identify possible causes of infertility associated with hormonal disorders.
Steps for male fertility analysis
- It is recommended to refrain from intercourse or masturbation for 2 to 5 days before sample collection for accurate results.
- Arrive at the lab on schedule
- Analysis of the proportion of different hormones: Blood samples are drawn from a vein through a sterile needle and transferred to a test tube to analyze the levels of different hormones such as fertility hormone (testosterone), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), and TSH.
- Semen analysis: The process of collecting a sperm analysis sample is done in a special room in the laboratory or at home near the laboratory.
- Sample analysis by specialized technicians in the laboratory using cutting-edge techniques.
- Discussion of results: Results are discussed in detail to clarify what they mean and what the next steps are based on the results.
