Fertility Testing for Men
Semen Analysis
Typically, the first test for diagnosing male infertility is a semen analysis, which evaluates the volume of ejaculate, the concentration (or density) of sperm, and the sperm motility (movement) and morphology (shape).
History and Physical Examination
At your initial fertility consultation, RMA of NY’s Urologist and Male Infertility Specialist, Dr. Natan Bar-Chama, will review your medical history and conduct a basic physical exam to determine if lifestyle, medications, or genetic factors may be impacting fertility.
Hormone Blood Tests – FSH, LH, Testosterone, E2
Important chemicals in your body, called hormones, control sperm production. Too much or too little of these hormones can cause problems with sperm production.
