The first step to understanding and treating male infertility is an accurate diagnosis. Mother Hospitals & IVF Center, Boduppal, Hyderabad offers a complete male fertility assessment — semen analysis, hormone panel, DNA fragmentation, and more — in a confidential environment.
Comprehensive assessment at Mother Hospitals & IVF Center, Boduppal, Hyderabad
Measures: sperm concentration (count), total motility, progressive motility, morphology (Kruger strict criteria), volume, pH, viscosity, and leukocyte count. Abstain from ejaculation for 3–5 days before. Sample collected at the clinic in a private room. Results same-day or next-day. Explained in plain language — no medical jargon.
Blood test collected in the morning (8–10 AM). FSH: if elevated, suggests testicular failure (non-obstructive problem). LH + Testosterone: assesses androgen status. Prolactin: elevated prolactin can suppress sperm production (treatable). Inhibin-B may also be measured for azoospermia cases — predicts sperm retrieval success.
Detects damaged DNA inside sperm — invisible on routine semen analysis. Critical for couples with unexplained infertility, repeated IVF failure, or recurrent miscarriage. Normal DFI <15%. High DFI (>30%) requires PICSI or TESA+ICSI. Results in 3–5 days.
Identifies varicocele (dilated veins — most common correctable cause of male infertility), testicular volume and echogenicity, epididymal cysts or blockages, absent vas deferens, and testicular tumours. Non-invasive, done during the clinic consultation. Immediate results.
Blood test that maps the full chromosome complement. Identifies Klinefelter's syndrome (47,XXY — causes azoospermia), other structural chromosomal abnormalities. Recommended for azoospermia or severe oligospermia. Results in 3–4 weeks.
Detects deletions in the AZFa, AZFb, and AZFc regions of the Y chromosome — genetic causes of azoospermia and severe oligospermia. AZFc deletion: sperm retrieval via TESA may succeed. AZFa/AZFb deletion: retrieval unlikely. Critical for counselling before TESA.
WHO 2021 lower reference limits — what your report means
| Parameter | Normal (WHO 2021) | If Below Normal |
|---|---|---|
| Volume | ≥1.4 mL | Hypospermia — may indicate ejaculatory duct issue or retrograde ejaculation |
| Sperm Concentration | ≥16 million/mL | Oligospermia — low sperm count |
| Total Sperm Count | ≥39 million/ejaculate | Total oligospermia |
| Total Motility | ≥42% | Asthenospermia — poor motility |
| Progressive Motility | ≥30% | Severe asthenospermia |
| Normal Morphology | ≥4% (Kruger strict) | Teratospermia — abnormal sperm shape |
| pH | 7.2–8.0 | Abnormal pH may suggest infection or ejaculatory duct issue |
| DNA Fragmentation (DFI) | <15% | Moderate (15–30%): reduced fertility. High (>30%): IVF failure risk |
