How Is Male Infertility Diagnosed?
A trip to the doctor can help a man begin the process of discovering whether or not infertility is an issue for him. As infertility tests for men are less invasive procedures than those for women, it is suggested that men undergo testing first if infertility is an issue. A semen analysis is usually the first step. The World Health Organization has set up a standard for semen analyses for laboratories worldwide and included are tests to detect the size, shape and motility of the man’s sperm. Too few, too slow or abnormal shape may all contribute to male infertility.
