Men are the backbone of a family, and compared to women, they carry a heavier burden. Therefore, when it comes to sexual intercourse, there may be a lack of effort and determination, resulting in couples having to prepare for pregnancy for a long time without being able to have a baby. So what are the main tests for male infertility? Let's learn more through the following text.
Male infertility will be checked for the following:
1. Semen. Infertile patients need to undergo two semen analyses to understand the survival rate of sperm.
2. Routine examination of urine and prostate fluid. Many infertile patients have varying degrees of inflammation, which can lead to bacterial spermia, blocked vas deferens, and abnormal seminal plasma.
3. Sex hormones. Compared to normal individuals, infertile patients are more likely to experience hormonal abnormalities.
4. Other laboratory tests such as blood routine, liver and kidney function, etc.
5. Ultrasound. Observe whether the testicles are injured and whether there are cysts.
6. Some other tests, such as chromosome and sperm DNA integrity checks, Torch tests, and so on.
There are various factors that can cause male infertility, including work environment, frequency of sexual intercourse, and hygiene after intercourse, in addition to self-examination. It is recommended that men go to a regular hospital for examination. Once diagnosed, they should cooperate with the doctor's treatment and avoid sexual activity during the treatment period. In addition, men should engage in more outdoor exercise, such as playing basketball, badminton, and jogging, which can not only improve physical fitness but also greatly increase the success rate of sperm.
