Male fertility relies on the testicles making enough healthy sperm. The sperm needs to be released from the penis into the vagina, where it has to travel to the waiting egg. Tests for male infertility try to find out whether there are treatable problems with any of these steps. You may have a physical exam that includes a check of your genitals.

This package comprises of blood tests that looks for the hormonal imbalances that can lead to infertility in men. It includes luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) tests and testosterone levels. This package also offers Thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) test.

A Male Infertility Panel typically consists of several tests aimed at assessing various aspects of male reproductive health. Here are some common tests included in such a panel and how they are interpreted: Semen Analysis: Semen analysis evaluates various parameters of semen quality, including sperm count, sperm motility, sperm morphology, semen volume, and other characteristics. Interpretation: Results are compared to reference ranges established by the World Health Organization (WHO). Abnormalities in any of the parameters may indicate potential male factor infertility. For example, low sperm count (oligospermia), poor sperm motility (asthenospermia), or abnormal sperm morphology (teratospermia) may impair fertility. Hormone Levels: Hormone tests assess levels of reproductive hormones such as testosterone, follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH), and prolactin. Interpretation: Abnormal hormone levels may indicate disorders affecting the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, such as hypogonadism (low testosterone), hyperprolactinemia, or dysfunction of the testes or pituitary gland. Genetic Testing: Genetic tests may include karyotype analysis to detect chromosomal abnormalities (e.g., Klinefelter syndrome), Y chromosome microdeletion analysis, or genetic screening for specific mutations associated with male infertility. Interpretation: Genetic abnormalities may contribute to male infertility and can help identify underlying causes or predispositions. Anti-sperm Antibodies: Anti-sperm antibody testing detects the presence of antibodies that may bind to sperm and impair their function. Interpretation: High levels of anti-sperm antibodies may indicate immune-mediated infertility, which can result from various factors such as injury, infection, or autoimmune conditions. Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Levels: ROS testing measures the levels of reactive oxygen species in semen, which can affect sperm function and integrity. Interpretation: Elevated ROS levels may lead to sperm damage (oxidative stress) and contribute to male infertility. Management may involve antioxidant therapy to reduce oxidative stress. Other Tests: Depending on individual circumstances, additional tests such as testicular ultrasound, sperm DNA fragmentation testing, or specialized assays for sperm function may be included in the panel. Interpretation: These tests provide further insights into the underlying causes of male infertility and may guide treatment decisions. Interpretation of results from a Male Infertility Panel should be performed by healthcare providers specializing in reproductive medicine or urology. The interpretation takes into account the overall clinical picture, including the patient's medical history, symptoms, physical examination findings, and other relevant factors. Treatment options may vary depending on the specific findings and underlying causes identified through testing.
