Sperm quality assessment
Sperm quality assessment involves analyzing a man's semen sample to evaluate factors like sperm count (how many), motility (movement), and morphology (shape). These tests help determine fertility potential by assessing whether the sperm are healthy enough to fertilize an egg. A lab examines the sample under a microscope and measures these parameters to identify any issues, such as low sperm count or abnormal shapes, which can impact fertility. The results guide treatment options or further investigations if needed, providing valuable insight into male reproductive health.
