Assess your fertility

At least 20% of married couples experience problems conceiving, and this is due to the male partner in about 40% of cases. Male infertility has many causes and some of these such as varicocoele (hardening of the veins draining the testes) can be treated successfully. If male factors are involved analysis of the semen with a comprehensive sperm test is necessary to determine the feasibility of using IVF to facilitate pregnancy.

Several factors can affect your sperm count and other sperm test values. A man may have a lower sperm count if he has physical damage to the testicles, has gone through radiation treatment of his testicles, or has had exposure to certain drugs. A man with a higher level of oestrogens may have a lower sperm count. Find out more with this simple sperm test.
