Theoretically speaking, the probability of female infertility is much higher than that of male infertility, but it cannot be ignored for male infertility. If a male truly discovers the possibility of infertility, it is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner and actively treat the patient accordingly. However, when seeking medical advice, which tests are necessary and which tests can be omitted.
First, let's introduce the four basic inspection items that need to be done.
One of the basic items that must be checked for male infertility is the hormone test of blood: This is a hormone test in the body of male friends, including follicular stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, and testosterone. These test items can reflect the growth of sperm or spermatogonia.
The second basic item that must be checked for male infertility is sperm examination: This examination needs to be done twice or three times. The main purpose is to observe the number of sperm, motility, semen liquefaction, and so on.
The third basic item that must be checked for male infertility is testicular biopsy: This is very necessary in the event of abnormalities in semen examination. Through this examination, the real problem can be basically understood, but this step is generally performed by a urologist.
Routine examination of reproductive organs: This mainly depends on whether the appearance is abnormal, whether the testicle size is normal, whether there are cysts, and whether there are varicoceles.
The basic items for male infertility testing vary from hospital to hospital, but the above four items are mandatory for hospitals. Of course, if one or both of them are abnormal, further testing may be necessary. It is important to remind everyone again that with the progress of medical technology, there are more and more types of testing items for male infertility, and each patient needs to make reasonable choices based on their own situation.
