How Is a Man Fertility Tested?

Fertility Testing for Men

Fertility specialists usually prefer to work with both partners. So, no matter what your female fertility test suggests, most men will also be tested during fertility testing for men. However, the main difference is that a man can be referred to the urologist if any surgery intervention is required.

Semen Analysis

Other Tests for Sperm

In addition to basic semen testing, additional semen tests are performed. A semen sample is usually analyzed in a laboratory by a microscope and/or by computerized evaluation. Some of the tests can be done on a semen sample, depending on the circumstances. The main tests are: the sperm chromatin structure assay (SCSA), computerized analysis of sperm motion, hamster zona-free ovum test, and antisperm antibodies (ASA).

TESE and TESA

Fertility specialists often recommend a specific type of testicular biopsy. This treatment may be recommended when a male partner can not produce sperm in the course of a normal physical examination. Tiny pieces of each testicle are surgically removed and evaluated. There are two related, but slightly different versions of this test: TESE – sperm is extracted from the tissue, and TESA – sperm is extracted from the sperm duct.
