Urologist-Andrologist Consultation: Comprehensive Diagnosis of Male Infertility
Male infertility is a common issue, affecting up to 50% of couples who are unable to conceive a child. If you are facing difficulties on the path to parenthood, an urologist-andrologist consultation is the first and most crucial step in establishing the cause and selecting effective treatment.
When is an Urologist-Andrologist Consultation Needed?
It is worth consulting a specialist if:
-
Your couple cannot conceive a child for one year of regular unprotected sexual intercourse (or six months, if the partner is over 35).
-
You have had injuries or surgeries on the pelvic organs and genitals.
-
You have suffered from sexually transmitted infections (STIs/STDs).
-
You have diagnosed hormonal disorders.
-
You have symptoms such as pain, discomfort, changes in the testicles, or problems with erection/ejaculation.
Diagnosis of Male Infertility: Key Stages
The urologist-andrologist consultation begins with a detailed history and examination. The following diagnostic procedures are key to establishing an accurate diagnosis:
-
Spermiogram (Semen Analysis) This is the basic and most informative test for assessing fertility. The study includes evaluating the count (concentration), motility (total, progressive), and morphology of sperm (percentage of normal forms).
-
MAR-Test (Mixed Antiglobulin Reaction) Conducted to detect the immune factor of infertility — anti-sperm antibodies that may impede fertilization.
-
Hormone Studies Assessment of key hormones affecting spermatogenesis: Testosterone, FSH, LH, Prolactin.
-
Ultrasound of the Scrotum and TRUS of the Prostate Allows for the detection of structural causes of infertility, such as Varicocele (dilation of the spermatic cord veins), cysts, tumors, inflammatory processes, or obstruction of the seminal ducts.
-
Genetic Studies In cases of severe oligozoospermia or azoospermia, Karyotyping, Analysis of Y-chromosome microdeletions, or CFTR gene mutations may be prescribed.
