We will start with a conversation to understand your medical history a physical examination.
Additionally, we will complete a semen analysis so we can check the number, shape and movement of sperm. The samples will be sent to a laboratory and checked for abnormalities and the presence of antibodies.
In the event that abnormalities in the semen analysis, we may require blood tests to help us assess hormone levels too, which will assist in the final diagnosis.
Other things we will consider are a testicular biopsy. This involves a fine needle and microscope being used to check the network of tubes within the testicles.
We will also complete ultrasound scans to enable us to look in more detail at organs like the prostate gland.
