sperm function tests

Sperm function tests evaluate how well sperm are working, beyond just counting them. They assess aspects like sperm movement (motility), shape (morphology), and ability to fertilize an egg (capacitation and acrosome reaction). These tests help identify issues affecting fertility, such as whether sperm can reach and penetrate an egg effectively. They are often used when initial semen analysis shows normal sperm count but fertility problems persist. Overall, sperm function tests provide a detailed view of sperm health, aiding in diagnosing causes of infertility and guiding treatment options.
