Patient's question:
My husband and I have been married for more than six months without having children, so I would like to have a routine semen analysis done at the hospital. Do I need any other tests, such as for the testicles, prostate, etc.? What are the approximate costs? I hope some friends can give me some advice!Is the examination reliable at the county hospital?
Doctor's answer:

2. Oligospermia, azoospermia
