Male sperm examination items

Nowadays, people's living conditions have become better than before, so they start to not take care of their bodies. Especially male friends who work hard for their careers, they will go out drinking and socializing every day. This will cause great harm to their bodies, especially sperm, so regular check-ups are necessary. Let's learn about the sperm examination items for men.

Check items:

1. Physical examination

During the physical examination, pay attention to the development of secondary sexual characteristics and external genitalia. If the testicular volume is less than 10 ml and the texture is abnormally soft, it often indicates poor testicular function. During palpation, pay attention to whether the epididymis and vas deferens have deformities, nodules, etc.

2. Biochemical examination of semen

At present, the most widely used tests are fructose, acid phosphatase, citric acid, protein, trace elements, lactate dehydrogenase X, etc. When doing biochemical examination of semen, the semen sample should be placed in a 35℃~37℃ water bath. After liquefaction, take 1.2~1.5ml of semen and centrifuge for 15 minutes, and take the upper layer of semen for biochemical determination.

3. Immunological examination

It can determine whether there is autoimmunity, and chromosome karyotype analysis can determine whether there is chromosomal abnormality. The measurement of serum FSH, LH, T, and PRL is an important method for the examination of oligospermia and sperm abnormalities in men, and it also helps to distinguish between primary testicular failure and secondary testicular failure.

4. Testicular B-ultrasound

Gross testicular lesions can be detected, and testicular biopsy can provide a more definitive basis for diagnosis and treatment.

5. In vitro heterospecies insemination experiments

If the results of a male friend's routine semen analysis are completely normal, then at this time the male friend needs to undergo an in vitro heterospecies insemination experiment. This experimental method can accurately estimate the fertilization ability of the male friend's sperm, thereby making a very valuable judgment on the male friend's fertility.

6. Prostatic fluid examination

It is also necessary to examine the prostate of male friends, because many male friends have prostate abnormalities, which will affect the quality of their semen.

The above article has given you a detailed introduction to the sperm examination items for men. I believe that everyone has a relatively basic understanding. Men should have a physical examination once a year. Once the physical examination finds that there is a problem with their sperm, they should take appropriate medication for treatment in time and pay more attention to rest.
