- The incidence of ‘male factor’ infertility has increased remarkably and in almost 40-50% cases, ‘male factor’ is the cause of infertility.
- Semen Analysis is an important diagnostic tool for male factor infertility.
- It should be performed according to recommended guidelines by World Health Organization (WHO), 2010.
- We have a well equipped andrology laboratory dedicated for male infertility testing. A separate semen collection room (masturbatorium) is designed adjacent to the andrology lab.
- In certain cases, specialized semen testing (listed below) may be required.
- Sperm Survival Test (SST)
- Sperm Aggregation Test
- Sperm Agglutination Test
- Antisperm-antibody Test
- Leucoscreen Test
- Culture & sensitivity of semen (SCAB Test)
- Hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) Test
- Viability Test
- Sperm-cervical mucus/ Post Coital Test
ADVANCED SEMEN TESTING - CASA
- Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) is automated and standardized equipment which provides highly accurate & very precise results.
- Advanced sperm motility kinetics like VSL - Straight Line Velocity (µm/s), VCL - Curvilinear Velocity (µm/s), VAP - Path Velocity (µm/s) and ALH (µm) are analyzed.
- Advanced sperm morphology test evaluate all the major & minor structural abnormalities of the each and every sperm providing sperm deformity index (SDI), Teratozoospermic index (TZI).
- Advanced sperm DNA fragmentation test reveals information about sperm damaged DNA which appears normal during general tests.
