Urology

Male patients experiencing infertility problems should consult a urologist who specializes in in vitro fertilization treatment. The physician listens to the patient's history and performs a physical examination. During the physical examination, the condition of the testicles, sperm ducts and whether the patient has varicocele are investigated. The patient is asked for a spermiogram (sperm analysis) and other tests if deemed necessary. Sperm count, motility and shape are evaluated with the spermiogram.

In the sperm test, fresh semen taken after 48 hours of sexual abstinence is evaluated. Since sperm count can vary, semen analysis should be done at least twice. You can find detailed information about the spermiogram, which is an easy and useful test.
