Patient's question:
I currently have male infertility. What tests should I undergo, and which tests can confirm the diagnosis?Doctor's answer:
1. "Sperm Morphology" AnalysisIf sperm is found in the semen of infertile patients, a morphological analysis of the sperm can be performed. By analyzing the quantity and morphology of the patient's sperm, it can be determined whether the sperm is normal. Additionally, based on the morphological characteristics of defective sperm, the cause of infertility can be localized, identifying whether the defective sperm is due to varicocele, nicotine effects, microbial infection, chemical pollution damage, physical damage, or other factors. This provides a laboratory basis for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of infertility.
2. "Spermatogenesis Cellology" Analysis
If no sperm is found in the patient's semen, the question that needs to be addressed is: Is it due to a blocked vas deferens, congenital absence of the vas deferens, or testicular spermatogenesis dysfunction leading to "azoospermia"? Traditional "testicular biopsy" can only answer this question, while the advantage of "spermatogenesis cellology analysis" lies in its ability to perform a "quantity·ratio·morphology" analysis of the "spermatogenesis cells" (sperm are derived from spermatogenesis cells). This helps identify harmful factors causing testicular spermatogenesis dysfunction (such as testicular inflammation, testicular infection, varicocele, sexual dysfunction, etc.), thereby providing the most accurate basis for clinical treatment currently available.
