Advanced Semen Analysis

Advanced semen analysis is a detailed assessment of male fertility. It is done by fertility specialists to comprehensively evaluate reproductive health, aiding in diagnosing and treating infertility issues. It has several advantages and is a key screening test conducted during in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

What is Advanced Semen Analysis?

Advanced semen analysis is a comprehensive diagnostic test that evaluates various aspects of a male’s semen and sperm to determine fertility potential. It examines sperm count, motility, morphology, volume, pH, and liquefaction.

Why Opt for Advanced Semen Analysis?

Advanced semen analysis evaluates male fertility by examining various aspects of sperm health and semen characteristics. If you are looking to solve infertility issues, here is what this service can do for you:

  • Check Sperm Count: The main reason for semen analysis is to determine if the sperm count is low or within the normal range, which is crucial for diagnosing infertility.

  • Evaluate Sperm Motility: It assesses the movement of sperm, which is vital for the sperm’s ability to reach and fertilise the egg.

  • Sperm Shape and Structure (Morphology): Analyzing the shape and structure of sperm helps identify abnormalities that can impact fertility.

  • Identifying Cause of Infertility: Examining various parameters, helps in pinpointing specific issues causing infertility, leading to customised treatment options.

How is Advanced Semen Analysis Done?

Advanced semen analysis evaluates male fertility by examining sperm parameters and semen characteristics under the supervision of experienced embryologists. The procedure involves the following steps and tests:

  1. Sample Collection: Semen is collected through masturbation into a sterile container after 2-5 days of abstinence.

  2. Initial Examination: The examiner will assess volume, liquefaction time, and pH level.

  3. Sperm Count: Sperm concentration per millilitre using a counting chamber is determined.

  4. Motility Assessment: The percentage of sperm with progressive movement is evaluated.

  5. Morphology Evaluation: Sperm shape and structure under high magnification according to WHO criteria is analysed.

  6. Vitality Testing: Staining techniques will determine the percentage of live sperm.

  7. Manual Screening: Experts will manually check for anomalies not detected by automated methods.

  8. Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA): Software is used to analyse sperm motility, concentration, and morphology precisely.

  9. DNA Fragmentation Index: Sperm DNA integrity for fragmentation is assessed.

  10. Hypo-Osmotic Swelling (HOS) Test: Experts will examine sperm membrane integrity by observing swelling in a hypo-osmotic solution.

  11. Antisperm Antibody Test: Antibodies that may bind to sperm and impair function are detected.

Finally, results are interpreted according to established reference values to guide diagnosis and treatment planning.
