Area of Science:

  • Reproductive Medicine
  • Andrology
  • Urology

Context:

  • Male factor infertility is a significant contributor to overall infertility, affecting approximately two-thirds of cases.
  • Standard diagnostic approaches include medical history, physical examination, and semen analysis.

Purpose:

  • To outline a comprehensive diagnostic strategy for male infertility.
  • To detail essential components of male reproductive health assessment.

Summary:

  • Male infertility evaluation necessitates a multi-faceted approach beyond basic semen analysis.
  • Key investigations include spermogram (sperm count, motility, morphology), spermocytogram, anti-spermatozoid immunity tests, and bacteriological analysis.
  • Advanced diagnostics like seminal plasma analysis, electron microscopy for asthenospermia, genetic/hormonal profiling, and testicular biopsy with varicocele assessment are crucial.
