Andrology is the part of medicine in charge of the study, exploration, and investigation of any aspect related to male sexual function and reproduction.
The main problems that andrology deals with are erectile disorders and male infertility.
Currently, male infertility represents 40% of the cases according to the WHO (World Health Organization) and to know your current conditions it is important that you go to specialists and get the necessary studies.
Spermatobioscopy is a laboratory analysis of a semen sample. In order to perform this test with maximum guarantees, it is necessary for the man to maintain 2 to 5 days of abstinence before collecting the semen sample after ejaculation by masturbation. In the laboratory, the morphological characteristics of the sperm are analyzed (volume, color, appearance, liquefaction), as well as the concentration, mobility and vitality of the spermatozoa.
The study of spermatobioscopy is very regular to know the male fertility and some common seminal alterations are:
Most common seminal alterations
Oligozoospermia
Low sperm concentration having a low sperm count reduces the chances that one of your sperm will fertilize your partner’s egg and produce a pregnancy. However, many men who have a low sperm count can still father a child.
Astenozoospermia
It is one of the frequent causes of male infertility. It consists of an alteration in sperm quality that results in a reduction in the number of motile spermatozoa. Couples in which the man is affected by asthenozoospermia can resort to assisted reproduction to try to get the woman pregnant.
Teratozoospermia
It is an alteration that affects male semen in which the great majority of spermatozoa present an abnormal morphology. It is defined as poor sperm morphology, either by presenting defects in the head, midpiece or tail. Therefore, teratozoospermia is considered a cause of male sterility due to a sperm factor and its origin is diverse, sometimes even unknown.
Please contact our specialists so that they can help and advise you.
Azoospermia
Azoospermia is the total absence of spermatozoa in the ejaculate. The prognosis for achieving pregnancy when there is azoospermia will depend on each case.
Sometimes it is possible to obtain sperm through testicular biopsy to be used in IVF-ICSI. It is important that we evaluate you to provide you with the best option for you.
