Male Fertility Assessment with Precision
Our Andrology Lab is dedicated to the assessment and optimization of male reproductive health. Male factor infertility accounts for nearly 40–50% of infertility cases, making a detailed semen analysis essential in every fertility evaluation.
Key services include:
- Semen Analysis (volume, count, motility, morphology)
- Vitality Testing
- Sperm DNA Fragmentation Assay
- Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) Testing
- Sperm Culture & Antibiotic Sensitivity
- Post-vasectomy and post-thaw evaluations
- Sperm Preparation for IUI, IVF, and ICSI
We adhere to WHO guidelines for semen analysis and use automated CASA (Computer-Assisted Semen Analysis) systems for objective and reproducible results. This helps our fertility specialists to detect subtle abnormalities in sperm function, even when basic parameters appear normal.
For advanced male fertility treatment, our lab offers sperm processing techniques such as density gradient centrifugation and swim-up methods to select the most motile and morphologically normal sperm for ART procedures. These processes play a vital role in enhancing the success of IUI and IVF/ICSI cycles.
- In Summary, our Andrology Lab are designed to provide fast, precise, and holistic evaluations of male fertility health. By combining state-of-the-art technology with rigorous protocols and expert staff, we ensure a solid foundation for accurate diagnosis and successful outcomes.

What is semen analysis and how is it performed in an andrology lab?
Semen analysis is the most basic and essential test to assess male fertility. It measures sperm count, motility, morphology, volume, and pH levels, providing insights into the quality of the semen sample.
What is sperm DNA fragmentation testing and when is it recommended?
Sperm DNA fragmentation test evaluates the integrity of sperm DNA. It is recommended in cases of recurrent IVF failure, miscarriage, or unexplained infertility, helping doctors choose advanced treatments like ICSI.
Can poor sperm motility or morphology be improved?
Yes, treatment options such as lifestyle changes, antioxidant supplements, and medical therapy can improve sperm motility and morphology. The andrology lab helps monitor progress through regular semen tests.
How accurate are results from an advanced andrology lab?
Accredited andrology labs follow WHO standards and use automated semen analyzers, ensuring high accuracy and consistency in test results, crucial for personalized fertility treatment plans.
What is sperm preparation and how is it done in an andrology lab?
Sperm preparation, often used for IUI or IVF, involves separating healthy, motile sperm from the semen sample using techniques like swim-up or density gradient. This increases chances of successful fertilization.
Is male fertility testing painful or invasive?
Male fertility tests like semen analysis are non-invasive and painless. The semen sample is usually collected through masturbation in a private collection room within the andrology lab.
