Semen exfoliated cytology

For modern people, although there are many singles, DINK families and other groups, it is undeniable that raising the next generation is still the idea of ​​the vast majority of people. Therefore, childbearing has become an important matter for many families. Due to various reasons, there are also many people who have not been able to give birth to children for a long time. Of course, these responsibilities were all on the women in the past, but now medicine shows that male reasons are not uncommon. The semen exfoliated cytology examination we are going to talk about today is an examination for men in this regard. Let's learn about it together.

By analyzing the sperm morphology and the number, proportion and morphology of spermatogenic cells, the specific causes of oligospermia, asthenospermia, necrospermia, sperm abnormality and azoospermia can be found to the greatest extent possible, providing laboratory basis for the clinical treatment of infertility. "Semen exfoliation cytology" includes two parts: "sperm morphology" and "spermatogenic cytology". The entire analysis process only takes 3 hours.

Sperm morphological analysis can not only detect the number and movement speed of sperm, but also determine whether the defective sperm is varicocele sperm, nicotine-effect sperm, microbial-infected sperm, chemically contaminated sperm, physically damaged sperm, etc., by analyzing the number and apoptotic morphology of the patient's sperm, thereby providing laboratory basis for the clinical treatment of infertility.

There are two reasons for azoospermia: one is the obstruction of the vas deferens, ejaculatory ducts, etc., which prevents sperm from being transported out; the other is the disorder of testicular spermatogenesis, which affects sperm production. In terms of identifying the type of azoospermia (whether it is obstructive azoospermia or azoospermia caused by testicular spermatogenesis disorder) and evaluating testicular spermatogenesis, "testicular biopsy" is still the "gold standard" for diagnosis.

The "spermatogenic cytology" analysis can not only distinguish whether azoospermia is caused by vas deferens obstruction (including congenital absence of vas deferens) or testicular spermatogenesis disorder, but also can determine at which stage the testicular spermatogenesis stops by analyzing the "quantity, proportion, and morphology" of "spermatogenic cells" (spermatozoa evolve from "spermatogenic cells"). Does it stop developing at the spermatocyte stage or at the spermatogonia stage? Based on this, it can be diagnosed whether the testicular spermatogenesis disorder is caused by orchitis, testicular infection, varicocele, or sexual dysfunction, thereby providing the most accurate basis currently available for clinical treatment.
