Male infertility examination items

1. Male infertility requires checking male-related hormone levels

Reproductive endocrine dysfunction affects male sexual and reproductive functions and is an important cause of male infertility. Endocrine examinations mainly involve the determination of sex hormones T, FSH, LH, PRL, E2 and various stimulation tests, such as the HCG stimulation test.

2. Male infertility requires a semen routine check

This is the most basic and important clinical indicator for measuring male fertility. The parameters of semen are what doctors need to know first. Patients should pay attention to: do not have sex for 3-5 days before going for examination; it is best to use masturbation to obtain samples; ensure that all semen is obtained; and review 1-2 times within 2 weeks.

3. Male infertility requires examination of sperm biochemistry

Analysis of the chemical composition of seminal plasma helps to understand the functions of the epididymis, prostate, and seminal vesicles. When patients have low semen volume, azoospermia, oligospermia, unexplained decreased sperm motility, congenital defects of accessory glands, and accessory gland diseases, seminal plasma biochemical examinations can be performed. Commonly found are fructose, botulinum toxin, acid phosphatase, etc.

4. Male infertility requires prostate fluid examination

Prostatitis can lead to male infertility. Prostatic fluid examination can provide a basis for the diagnosis of prostatitis.

The main items of male infertility examination are semen examination, including sperm density, semen liquefaction time, sperm motility, sperm abnormality rate, etc. Normal sperm density should be greater than 20 million/ml, liquefaction time should be within 30 minutes, sperm motility grade A should be greater than 25% and grade A+B should be greater than 50%, and the abnormal sperm rate should be less than 50%. If the sperm is abnormal and is not within the above range, it is considered sperm abnormality. At present, in clinical practice, this kind of symptoms are mainly improved by oral administration of Yuzhiyuan tablets, and the effect can generally be seen after taking it for 2-3 months.
